ATLANTA, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine stepping onto a Christmas tree lot or walking into your home right after you put up your tree. Take a deep breath. Ahhhh. You can almost envision Christmases gone by, just thinking about the smell of a Christmas tree, can't you? You're not alone. The vast majority of people (85% to be precise) say that the scent of a fresh-cut Christmas tree makes it feel like the holidays.

TIMBER!!! ScentSicles scented ornaments (which smell like a fresh-cut tree) partnered with the USC Knights spirit organization (which wanted to chop down the Stanford tree) to promote #Timber and help spur the USC Trojans on to victory on Saturday. Looks like the unlikely partnership worked as unranked USC defeated #4 Stanford! (PRNewsFoto/ScentSicles Scented Ornaments) (PRNewsFoto/SCENTSICLES SCENTED ORNAMENTS)

However, with over 80% of American households now putting up artificial trees according to the American Christmas Tree Association, and real trees not smelling as much as many remember, there's a longing and need for that authentic scent which unleashes the feeling of Christmas. Fortunately, ScentSicles scented ornaments have that fragrance we all pine for (pun intended) and can quickly resolve any potential fir tragedy.

First, yes; you did correctly read that trees don't seem to have the same olfactory impact anymore. In a recent survey, 31% of people who have decades of Christmas tree experience (specifically those over 60) believe Christmas trees smell worse than when they were younger since trees today have a weaker scent. Younger tree-lovers apparently don't know what they are missing since 84% think trees smell as good as or better than ever.

What is driving this downward spiral in Christmas tree scent you wonder? Is it due to a change in climate? Cutting trees earlier each year? Bio engineering? Or simply an unfounded perception or a weakened sense of smell?

While the answer isn't clear, there IS something that can increase the authentic fragrance of any Christmas tree – be it real or artificial – and thus make it smell more like Christmas to everyone, regardless of age. ScentSicles scented ornaments have the true-to-life scent of a freshly-cut tree that brings back the memories and feeling of Christmas. So go ahead and discreetly hang them on your tree, take a deep breath, and smell what you've been missing all these years.
