With holiday parties in full swing and proper etiquette that suggests guests must always bring something to the host, many people often run out of clever ideas for the gift giving season. In most cases, little gifts are appropriate as long as they are packaged in gorgeous wrapping and smell heavenly. Giving the gift of fragrance is easier than ever with some amazing lines of candle and home fragrance products.

For anyone whose heart is near the ocean, Seda France’s Bon Chic collection of soy candles will leave your house lingering with an intoxicating smell. Each box is packaged in retro, Hollywood regency-esque packaging that is sure to make any hostess jump for joy. Norway Spruce is the ultimate in holiday luxury- the smell has a way of stirring up childhood Christmas memories. With fir needles, rosemary and tangy notes of lemon, orange and raspberry along with piquant cinnamon and clove, all rounded off by a bit of mellow musk and vanilla Seda France has managed to put a magical spin on Christmas. If you are looking for a smell that can be burned year round, try the White Cashmere Blossom candle. A florally sent infused with jasmine petal, whispering mimosa, white cashmere blossom and velvety vanilla musk makes for a scent that is provocative yet subtle. The Bon Chic collection from Seda France is available at http://www.sedafrance.com.

Gifts that have a green touch are all the rage and I recently stumbled upon Mozi, an Australian brand whose products are lightly green- Mozi’s packaging is printed on recycled paper and their candles are made with a 100% biodegradable organic palm & bees wax blend. Fragrance is something that can make someone happy and enhance their mood, and Mozi’s line of room sprays is no exception.
Like Seda France, Mozi can be given as-is in the box. The packaging is simple yet whimsical and is sure to cheer up even the grumpiest Christmas scrooge. Mozi’s fragrances are expertly blended with fragrances that complement each other perfectly. This sophisticated, date, fig & olive fragrance has aromatic notes of fig, olive leaf, lime, bergamot & apple blossom that make you want to get in the kitchen and cook while the green mandarin and vetiver aromatic notes of saffron, cedarwood & amber will intoxicate your home for hours and make you dream of a blooming park on a summer afternoon. Mozi room sprays are available at http://www.mozi.au.
This holiday season surprise someone with a personal gift of fragrance that will bring a smile to their face and light into their home. Seda France and Mozi are two hot brands to check out this holiday season.
