The magic of Christmas isn’t just about what you see - it’s also about what you smell. Our sense of smell is deeply connected to our emotions and memories. Just a hint of a certain fragrance can transport us back to cherished Christmases past - opening presents under the tree, baking gingerbread, or sipping mulled wine by the fire.
