What scents remind you of Christmas?

[candycanemartini]

They say that scent is the sense that's most commonly tied to memory so what scents bring back warm and cozy holiday memories for you? I love anything with Cinnamon Spice, Apples, Peppermint, Chocolate Orange and Pumpkin Spice! I sell perfumes and during the holidays these scents are very popular! Oh my goodness and how could I forget Gingerbread and Sugar Cookies :) Anyone hungry now, lol?

Nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon.
The zest of freshly peeled oranges.

[elfworks]

just that my original thread is being totally disregarded. it is the saddest thing. i may have to take to my bed for the rest of the day with the vapors...

[sheepsnot]

Take some Beano. It'll cure the vapors.

[caseydbell]

Do you usually have a house fire when you bake cookies? :lol: only in the fire place, I'm baking not my sister :lol:

[Michael Rielly]

Pine Trees! :D

[HolyNight7]

Definitely cookies baking in the oven. Cinnamon and pumkin scents also bring on the season for me.

[Holiday]

Cinnamon, pine, chocolate (from candy making), hollyberry candles, baked pumpkin, or pumpkin candles! Mmmmmm, I can smell it now! :grin:

[whitexmas]

Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Freshly baked cookies...no wait, freshly baked anything coming from the oven. Pumpkin and cinnamon apple pie candles. Yummy!!! Im hungry and sad cuz xmas is still at least 3 months away!

[sheepsnot]

You can give two birds a dirt nap with one stone by making yourself some Christmas cookies and eating them! No hunger and no sadness. What could be better? Turn the air waaaay up, as HN7 suggested elsewhere, and watch some of the Christmas movies on dvdguy's list.

[whitexmas]

haha! thanks for the tip! ill have to try that!

[peavey]

Real pine Christmas trees, a turkey roasting and the smell of snow!

:playing:

[sheepsnot]

Peavey, where have you been? We haven't heard from you in months! Good to see you're alive and well. Now, what does snow (the white variety) smell like?

[caseydbell]

Im hungry and sad cuz xmas is still at least 3 months away! All of us here know what you mean, we're all ready for Christmas & can't wait. we just have to contain it. You should come to our Sunday Night Chats that helps you relieve some of the excitement :-D

[peavey]

Thanks... guess I've been busy and maybe a little lost. :)
Snow smells like... ice, except cleaner. How do you describe a smell? I"m not kidding, either.

[skiparooney]

:served: Dried Sage mmmmmmmmmmm!!! :family: , the smell of xmas cake and marzipan !!! :-D The smell of the christmas tree :) , and is it just me or does anyone elses tinsel smell of "Christmas"?? :o :stuffed:

[peavey]

Mine does! (Along with snow)
Ok, so I'm an odor freak. :)

[sheepsnot]

I just don't understand how you guys can small tinsel and snow. My poor nose is limited in range. I can smell bacon, coffee and "other."
:grin: :D

[dvdelf]

the wife can smell snow, not me. I can smell lettuce though

[ReineV]

hmmmm...smelling snow...I don't think I've ever smelled snow...but then again I was born and raised in Atlanta. We don't get much snow to smell around here. I can smell lettuce too.

[sheepsnot]

What is this, the Vegan Christmas Forum? Lettuce should smell like the burger below it.

[ReineV]

AMEN! lol!!! but I do like my salads (with bacon bits). :P

[dvdelf]

I dont like lettuce at all, so i can sniff it out if they put on my taco

[snowangel82]

Anytime I smell pumpkin pie, apple cinnamon, sugar cookie, gingerbread, pine, or a blazing fire, I instantly think of Christmas!

:razz:

[joyful]

Growing up I got a new doll every Christmas, so I associate the smell of a new doll with Christmas.

Also the smell of my cut-out sugar cookies baking, ummmmmmmmmm, nice.

:merry:

[sheepsnot]

What does a doll smell like? I'm thinking plastic and fake hair, but it actually might be the packaging. :-o

[Holiday]

:merry:

I know exactly what you are talking about!! That smell is a definate reminder of Christmas! Yes sheepsnot, there is a "new doll smell!" Lol!! I haven't gotten a new doll in 25 years & I can still smell it!! Thanks for the reminder! :grin:

[gracie]

christmas trees, gingerbread, peppermint, popcorn and old spice cologne!!

[MarthaK]

Always looking for new ways to conduct Christmas smells through my house, I discovered a new one....scented pads to place on your furnace filter.

I had seen these at Target in one or two scents that didn't inspire me. But this weekend, I found one at Home Depot that is pine scented. I can't wait to try it out!

[mrshamm]

the scents that get me in the Christmas mood are pumpkin spice, apple cider, sugar cookies, and the smell of Egg Nog.

[Ervserver]

How about mall Santa's bad breath. Not exactly the most pleasing reminder of Christmas but certainly part of the going-to-see-Santa experience as a youth.

[sheepsnot]

Do you ever wonder why, if a politician is doing the talking on a commercial, he has to still approve the message? Seems obvious to me.

[Christy Carol]

LMAO!!!! :lol:

[sheepsnot]

We were fairly poor when I was a kid and would get a visit from the "County Santa," some poor jamoke who was usually hammered and gave out broken toys. As he drove off into the night he would shout, "Sucks to be poor, doesn't it kid?" 8) Ahhh, memories!

[Ervserver]

DId he look like Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard?

[sheepsnot]

Can't remember what he looked like. I grew up thinking Santa was a blitzed loser in a 63 Ford Falcon with a two-tone broom paint job!

[dvdelf]

"mommy Santa smells funny"

[elfworks]

that is so sad.



(((((((snot)))))))

[Ervserver]

good source of potassium

[dvdelf]

mmmm vitamins

[Ervserver]

I had sent an email to Glade suggesting a holiday scent essence of Ebenezer, I've never heard anything back. If I see it on the store shelves I will sue.

[dvdelf]

wonder how that would sniff?

[Ervserver]

Not good I bet
