Every year I get excited about The Body Shop’s Christmas range. Last year it was the Glazed Apple range (I may still be hoarding some of it!) and this year it’s Frosted Plum. Plum has always been a Christmas scent for me as I remember so many days spent lazing around the back garden in Emily Street, eating plums picked fresh off the trees.
These plums don’t come from sunny Gisborne though, they’re from orchards in Turkey and have been mixed with magnolia and peony to make the most scrumptious scent. It may even rival the Glazed Apple range for my favourite scent from The Body Shop. I know, big call… But it’s fruity and floral, two things that I adore, so you shouldn’t be surprised really!
The Body Shop has made up a special gift pack with some of their most delicious full sized Frosted Plum goodies (valued at $146.80) for me to give away! You can’t usually buy this as a set so it’s an extra special Christmas treat…

All things Xmas smell amazing – what reminds me off Xmas is the smell of a roast, haha! 😛
I love the Christmas pudding nice spicy scents!
So there is this cheap perfume in the USA call white shoulders- its kind of awful old ladyish, but my grandfather use to get it for my grandmother every year at christmas. Anyways in 2007 she passed away a few days after Christmas before getting to open the box and use it, after she died my grandpa gave it to me after he put a small amount on her pillow so when he slept he could still smell her. I really never liked it but it was the sweetest gesture, a few months after she had been gone I grabbed it out and gave it a smell and it was like she was in the same room as me.. millions of memories flooded back in.. so now, long story short, that is my favourite scent that reminds me of Christmas..
OMFG that made me cry. It’s so amazing how a scent can take us back to a memory like that isn’t it?
Strawberries and cream!
Peppermint
Cinammon! And nutmeg. Mmmmmm.
Christmas tree! Unfortunately, we now have a plastic one every Xmas (no need to kill areal one!), it´s cute and all but no special odor… Oh well
You should get one of the ECOYA pine needles candles – they smell just like a real tree!

Old fashioned Xmas Lillies, they’re gorgeous!
Ooo the plum sugar scrub sounds amazing!
But I think ginger is a scent I love for Christmas from freshly baked gingerbread
Christmas smells like pine and cinammon but also like barbeques and sunscreen!
Cinnamon and definitely pine because we always had real trees when I was growing up.Sadly I am allergic and can’t have a real tree now but I found eco friendly “sticks” that you can hang on your trees and they are the perfect pine scent ( sorry for the novel)
The plum sounds amazing, for me the smell of christmas I love is pine trees, we got a real tree this year and I am in heaven with the scent.
Peppermint scent – just like candy canes! And pine forests for Christmas trees.
Ginger reminds me of christmas as every year we build a gingerbread house and we also bake the cookies.

both mango and cocobutter remind me of christmas. almost every year since i was 10 I would get some sort of body balm/butter from one relative. I love it!
I’m currently in America where everything seems a lot more festive! I was walking along the street past all these Christmas trees and they smell amazing!!!!! To top it off, I got given the Ecoya pine needles candle as a gift before I left so I’m a little obsessed! x

I love the smell of real christmas trees (majority of my family is allergic to them, so we can’t actually have one), and candy canes! Takes me back to christmas when I was younger.

Pine. I love that smell, it reminds me of being a kid and getting up early on Christmas morning and rushing to the tree to see all the presents.
It’s a tree with white and pink puff ball flowers. It flowers at this time of year. Unfortunately I am no Gardener so I don’t know it’s name but there are a lot growing in public places

I love the smell of Yankee candles Christmas cookie.
The lady next to me at work wears the glazed Apple! I would love to try the plum !
“It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas….” Why is it we can never justify buying this gorgeous stuff for ourselves? I always longingly parooze the shelves of The Body Shop while waiting for my Boost Juice that I’ve bought with all my spare change….. makes me sad they never come home with me.
Fresh Pine has to be mine, (didn’t mean the to rhyme! – oops that does too haha) – we can’t have a real tree due to one of the boys allergies, but the ecoya Fresh Pine candle is doing wonders!
I’m burning my ECOYA candle too, so delicious!

You should get one of these ECOYA candles – I’ve got one and it’s all the scent of Christmas without the allergies!
Do they have those! God they sound amazing. Il go on the hunt for one, we got these “scent sticks” with our tree and they smell awful nothing like a real tree. Another smell that reminds me of Christmas for some reason is the smell of new potatoes cooking. I always used to help my Nana in the kitchen and out of everything thats the smell I remember lol
