You’re thinking to yourself, “that Stashy is really running out of ideas for this Blogmas thing, isn’t she?” Well, hear me out! I think we focus so much on our sense of sight that we sometimes neglect our other senses. For previous Blogmas posts, I’ve already focused on the sense of hearing (Christmas music) so why not talk about how Christmas smells?
Yes, there will be talk of food… but also some fragrances too!
It’s common knowledge that scents are most strongly associated with memories so it’s only natural to be reminded of significant events like the holidays through certain smells. Here’s what I smell during Christmastime:
Maple glazed spiral ham
Ever since we discovered spiral ham a few years ago, we haven’t looked back. who needs turkey when we can have moist delicious spiral ham with crispy outer bits?
Clementines
Since this is a winter fruit, and it seems to be more prevalent during the holiday season. To me, clementines smell sweeter yet more tart than oranges.
Gingerbread
I love ginger molasses cookies at any time of the year, but gingerbread cookies are in abundant supply during the holidays and I gobble them up!
Mulled apple cider
We like ours with sticks of cinnamon – so sweet and warm!
Prada candy Perfume
I was surprised that I ended up loving this perfume after trying a sample a few years ago; I went out and bought the full size right away. I would describe it as a smokey caramel scent that isn’t cloying or juvenile. I enjoy wearing this during the winter months, especially around the holidays!
BBW Vanilla Snowflake candle
I received this for Christmas last year – I had specifically asked for this scent after smelling it in the store. The individual notes are described as: Creamy Vanilla, Iced Fir, Wintry Mint, Coconut Flakes. It is a comforting warm scent that isn’t overpowering – I’ve been burning this one all week (in fact, right now!)
What are the smells you associate with Christmas?
Last year’s blogmas post was a fun one:

Blogmas 2016: The Christmas beauty TagEven though I decided to do a shortened Blogmas this year, I was quite challenged as to what topics to write about, since last year’s Blogmas pretty much covered all the major Christmassy topics like Christmas music, movies, gift ideas, etc. So I was excited when I spotted this tag…

Blogmas Day 11: Juletradisjon i dag vil være et mer personlig innlegg. Jeg har hatt kommentarer som ba om navnet mitt og bildet mitt – jeg deler dem ikke på bloggen av personverngrunner. Det burde ærlig talt ikke ha noe å si om navnet mitt er Seraphina, eller om jeg muligens har et tredje øye (hei, det betyr bare mer …
