My Christmas Tree doesnt smell 😩
Hello there,
I am a very new and VERY noviced to the gardening world and I am seeking some advice about my Xmas tree.
We always have a real tree and have got it from the same supplier for the last 10 years with no issues. But this year our tree doesn’t smell at all Christmassy. Even if I pop my head straight into the needles there is the faintest aroma but it’s barely detectable. I thought it may just be me at first but all the family have commented on the lack of smell now.
I onow now it’s a bit silly but the smell of pine through my house at Xmas is so evocative to me that it doesn’t feel festive without it.
Does anyone one have any handy tips of how to bring the smell out? Can that even be done?? Any advice will be greatly received.
Many thanks,
Jodie

The expensive answer

If your tree is a different species from previous ones it may have essential oils that require a higher heat in order to be released.
Y. Rose is right - the Nordmanns don't have much smell. You need the Norway spruce for a good scent. Pansyface is also right - they need a bit of heat to properly release the scent too.
I know where I belong
A few drops on some cones would recreate an authentic fragrance.
I use it along with my little fake tree - the smell is way out of proportion to the size of the tree - but hey! it's Christmas
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Nothing wrong with a bit of enhancement with some essential oil or candles as I agree the smell is crucial to the festive mood.
