There are a lot of pros to investing in an artificial Christmas tree. They’re less maintenance, they’re easy to assemble (no need for a tree stand), and they’re great for people with allergies. But there’s one huge drawback to making the switch to faux — you don’t get that iconic Christmas tree scent filling your living room. Sure, you could light a scented candle, but the fragrance only lasts as long as the candle is burning. If only there was something a bit more long-lasting.
Well, there is! There are scented ornaments called ScentSicles and they’re specifically designed to give your faux tree that real tree smell. You can hang them close to the trunk of the tree so they blend in amongst the foliage and similar to an air freshener you hang from your car’s rearview mirror, the ornaments will emit that evergreen scent you crave this time of year.
ScentSicles White Winter Fir Scented Ornaments, 6 Pack
Each pack comes with six ScentSicles, which are made out of biodegradable and recyclable paper that has been tinted green so they blend in with their surroundings. The scent is a mix of balsam fir, juniper berries, fresh pine, and warm cedar.
“I hang a couple on my tree and when I walk in the house it smells just like I have a real one!” one Target reviewer wrote.
Another person added, “We have an artificial tree, so this was a nice way to have that fresh tree smell. We used all six sticks on our tree as instructed and it has filled our two-story house with a wonderful scent. Really put us in the holiday mood!”
And someone else vouched for them, saying they last throughout the entire Christmas season. “This is my second [year] buying this for my Christmas tree,” they said. “It smells amazing and lasts the entire month.”
You can even hang ScentSicles on your real tree to enhance the evergreen scent or hide a few throughout your home to give your entire space a Christmasy feeling. No need for chemical sprays or scented candles.
Pick up a pack of six ScentSicles from Target for just under $9 and make your home feel that much more festive.
