Seasonal Scents
Use fruit, spices, herbs and flowers to create a wonderful fragrance in every room.

1. Fill decorative bowls with citrus-scented pot-pourri.
Mix dried lemon verbena, dried oranges, bay leaves and pine cones to create a fruity aroma that will last throughout the Christmas period. Finish with dried rose buds to add a splash of colour.
2. Add essential oil to a door hanger.
For an inviting aroma, put a few drops of orange and cinnamon oil on a wooden star, tie it together with some sprigs of lavender, eucalyptus and pine and hang over a door knob.

3. Stud oranges with cloves.
Make a colourful arrangement for a table or sideboard with oranges and limes in a white china dish. Push cloves into the oranges and use a zester to carve intricate patterns into the skin of several limes.

4. Burn bundles of lavender and rosemary.
Spread a delicious scent around your home by throwing hand-tied bundles of herbs onto an open fire.
For the best scents go for lavender, rosemary, bay and thyme.
