Decoding Your Christmas Tree's Fragrance: A Nod to North Carolina's Fraser Fir

The Christmas season brings merriment and the nostalgic scent of evergreen, yet your Christmas tree's fragrance may not meet expectations. Explore the reasons behind this with a focus on North Carolina's beloved Fraser fir.

  1. Tree Species: NC's Fraser Fir

The tree type significantly influences the scent. North Carolina, renowned for Christmas tree farms, boasts the Fraser fir, offering a strong, delightful fragrance infused with essential oils. Choose wisely for an authentic, aromatic experience.

2. Tree Health: Vital for Rich Fragrance

A healthy tree is key to a lasting fragrance. Opt for vibrant, green needles, ensuring a fresh tree enriched with essential oils for a more aromatic holiday.

3. Age and Harvesting: Impact on Scent

The age of your Christmas tree at harvesting affects its intensity. Older trees provide a robust fragrance, while timing and essential oils enhance the scent.

5. Environmental Factors: Nurturing Aroma

Combat dry indoor air, providing regular watering and keeping the tree away from heat. Complement the natural scent with a Fraser Fir soy candle, hand-poured with clean scents and essential oils. Find yours here.

Tips for Tree Health:

  • Watering: Ensure your tree stays hydrated by maintaining a consistent water level in the tree stand. A well-hydrated tree is more likely to retain its fragrance.

  • Location Matters: Keep your tree away from heat sources like radiators and fireplaces. This helps prevent excessive moisture loss, preserving the tree's natural aroma.

  • Fresh Cut: When setting up your tree, make a fresh cut at the base to facilitate water absorption. This simple step can prolong the tree's freshness and fragrance.
