Evergreens Before Christmas

Long before Christianity, people hung evergreen boughs over doors and windows in winter. Egyptians filled homes with green palms and papyrus reeds at the winter solstice. Romans decorated homes and temples with evergreen boughs during Saturnalia.

From Germany to the Parlor

Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition known today. By the 1500s, devout Christians were bringing decorated trees into their homes. An 1846 sketch of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert around a tree helped make it fashionable.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this fir fragrance oil to your own base. An evergreen scent for soap suits a gift set. A winter holiday fragrance oil like this also fits holiday cream. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Evergreens have marked midwinter for thousands of years. Their scent says the season is turning. Many people link a Christmas tree scent with family memory. A winter holiday fragrance oil can carry that feeling. For soap, try an evergreen scent for soap in a seasonal batch.
