Attic Ornaments

Aroma palette is atmospheric, woodsy, and fruity. Highlights include artificial snow, plastic ornaments, metal hangers, dusty pine needles, manger hay, static electricity, and aged pomanders.

This atmospheric holiday blend was inspired by the yearly haul of holiday ornaments from my grandmothers attic in the late 1980s. The boxes that we gleefully brought down for the winter season each year always had a particular smell that spoke of both the holidays that had already passed and the new ones to come. This blend contains the ghosts of Christmas trees past, a quick whiff of artificial snow, the nostalgic plastic smell of ornaments and bits of old toys, the metallic tang of metal hooks, the pleasantly dusty aroma of manger hay, the fruity scent of aged pomanders, and ghostings of electricity wafting off of fabric.

This years formulation has a slightly more prominent pomander note than the previous iteration.
