The Top Smells to Enhance Your Artificial Christmas Tree

Full artificial Christmas trees have the benefit of being reusable year after year. But they also have their drawbacks: they’re typically made from plastic, which doesn’t smell like pine, and they don’t retain their freshness as long as real ones.

To combat these issues, some artificial tree manufacturers are touting scented versions of their trees. These are especially popular among people who want to make sure their artificial tree smells like real pine for as long as possible.

However, there are many other scents that can be used to give your fake tree a pleasant fragrance.

Here are some of the best options:

Pine – This is the most popular scent used in artificial Christmas trees because it’s so close to real pine. If you want your artificial Christmas tree to smell like pine, you can use one of two ways:

Buy an artificial Christmas tree that already has a scent applied to it. These can be found at most stores that sell artificial trees. Make sure you read the label before deciding which one to buy. Some products are made with synthetic materials while others use natural oils and resins. Be sure not to get any product that contains paraffin wax as this will melt under heat lamps.

Use an essential oil spray or room freshener on your artificial tree by spraying it directly onto the branches and trunk of your tree. You may also want to spray some into the water tray in order to create a stronger scent around your home as well as on your tree itself.

Mint – If you’re looking for something different from pine, try mint oil instead. It’s a very refreshing smell that won’t overwhelm your home. You can also put crushed up candy canes in the water tray at the bottom of your tree stand as an added bonus.

Mistletoe – This is another popular choice, but it’s not as strong as Christmas Tree. The scent is sweet and fruity, but it’s not too overpowering. You might notice that mistletoe is used in many different types of holiday decorations because it smells so good.

Spruce – This is another very popular scent that many people like because it smells so clean and fresh. It’s often used in outdoor wreaths and garlands because it reminds us of Christmas trees, but without all the mess.

Dryer Sheets – Dryer sheets are an inexpensive way to add some fragrance to your artificial Christmas tree. They will leave behind a slightly floral scent that will last for several weeks. If you have space in your tree’s stand, place several dryer sheets at the bottom of it to give off this scent when it’s turned on.

Essential Oils – Essential oils are another popular option for adding fragrance to an artificial Christmas tree. There are many different scents available on the market ranging from pine to cinnamon to vanilla and more. You can use these oils individually or mix them together in order to create your own unique scent combination.
