In my kitchen windowsill is a Glade candle . . spruce it up / apple cinnamon...that fills my kitchen with the most amazing smells of the season. The spruce aroma is one I only can imagine never having been around a spruce tree. I normally buy a spruce scent to spray on my artificial tree each year. These scents are, however, exactly what I have in mind for Crimson and Holly. Think of the deepest Christmas red velvet and a dark hunter green, something actually regal and expensive. After spending about twenty minutes searching the web for a picture to reflect the vision I have in my mind, I have to confess, I could not find one: crushed red velvet with satin fringe, green glass, gold, holly leaves, poinsettias, a fireplace and deep rich wood. The tree needs to have white lights, but only sparsely lit with green and crimson glass ornaments. I always hear "red, gold and green" playing in a violin concerto.
