Joy to the nose

THE holiday spirit is in the air: everything and everyone accented with red, lights sparkling in unexpected places, and a heady scent of anticipation. In the home, there are sophisticated and inexpensive ways to tickle and soothe the olfactory senses during the holidays. The aroma of freshly baked cookies or fragrant pine can evoke warm memories, but scented pillows, candles, beads or sticks can also infuse your house with a festive ambience.
