How to choose winter fragrances for the house
An incomparable number of existing flavors is customarily classified in different families: chypre, citrus, green, fungi, woody, spicy, amber, oceanic, fruit, floral, etc. Each group has its own special property of influence on a person. Under the concept of "winter flavors" the smells most suitable for families are spicy, citrus and woody.
You can recreate this or that fragrance in several ways. For example, using scented candles, sachets, house diffusers, essential oils or incense. In addition, you can create a suitable fragrance from improvised means.
In the East, for example, the housewives often use such a recipe: cinnamon, almonds, cloves, ginger and mint are added to the pot with boiling water. While the aromatic mixture is boiling, the house is filled with a magical fragrance. Further, the liquid pours into the bowl, into which are placed several small floating candles. Lighted candles will heat the water, so that the house will be filled with a delicate and unobtrusive aroma. Also in the liquid, you can add citrus peel and a few drops of citrus fruit juice. The aroma of the family of citrus relieves of spleen and gives a charge of vivacity.

Aromas of winter bringing happiness to the house
The term "aromatherapy" is for sure known to everyone. Even in ancient Egypt, people noticed that some fragrances are able to cheer up and increase a person's activity. Ancient Egyptians used for this purpose the fragrance of myrrh and sandalwood. And in China they believed that the best way to help get rid of bad thoughts is the aroma of tea tree and roses.
In our time, specialists have been able to accurately determine that smells have the most direct effect on the mood and well-being of a person. For example, to get rid of apathy and sadness, it is recommended to recreate in the house the aroma of citrus fruits, sandalwood, bergamot, rosemary, ylang-ylang. This can be done with the help of essential oils. It is best to use oils using a special aroma lamp. It is enough to add a couple drops of rosemary, sandalwood and citrus oil, and the resulting aroma will immediately eliminate the first signs of stress and anxiety. The same effect can be achieved using aromatic sticks. But it is important to take into account that winter flavors for a house with chopsticks turn out to be more harsh, which, firstly, may not like other households and guests, and secondly, it can have the opposite effect. Specialists in the field of aromatherapy emphasize that sharp odors, however favorable they are, irritate the receptors of the sense of smell, which provokes headache and irritability. To create a light and unobtrusive aroma, the sticks should be sprayed for no more than two minutes.
A pleasant smell in a house that best associates with winter comfort and, besides, relieves depression, can be recreated using a mixture of essential oils of citrus - orange, lemon and mandarin. For the aroma lamp, you need three drops of orange oil and two drops of other oils.
