BRING THE OUTSIDE IN
Easy to live with, the fresh smell of pine – and thoughts of autumnal walks – can evoke feelings of wellbeing.
Pine notes feel festive, too, and Simpson says she opts for “what I call a ‘Christmas white fragrance’, including green leaves, pine and white florals”.
She says she loves to use fresh, evergreen scents such as the uplifting fragrance of pine, elemi, and cypress, alongside sappy notes of cedarwood, guaiac wood and fir.
You can also add a few drops of pine essential oil to a diffuser filled with water, or a heat-resistant vessel filled with boiling water – perhaps decorated with fallen pine cones for an autumnal theme.
