GO FIR IT: Search for fallen pine cones then put them in a sandwich bag and add a few drops of your favourite winter essential oil or try the Essican Winter Spice oil, £2.99, amazon.co.uk.
Seal the bag then shake it gently so the cones absorb the scent.
After a few days, remove them from the bag and place in around the house for a pretty display that also makes your house smell incredible.
FRESH ‘N’ CLEAN: Spread the scent of winter throughout your home by adding a few drops of scented essential oil to your surface cleaner.

Or dab some on a microfibre cloth before polishing.
You could also do the same with Zoflora disinfectant in Frosted Peppermint, £3.99, Savers.
BAKE OFF: Give your home a warm welcoming smell by preheating the oven to a low temperature, then adding a few drops of vanilla essence and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder to a baking tray before heating for an hour.
However, it might make more sense to pick up the Asda vanilla cupcake kit, £1.90, add butter and an egg to bake six vanilla cupcakes you can dust with cinnamon.
That way your house smells amazing and you have a tasty treat.
HIDE ‘N’ SHEET: Tuck scented dryer sheets into unexpected places, such as down the side of your sofa and behind ornaments.
As warm air circulates, the sheets release a burst of wintery freshness.
Get the Winter angel dryer sheets for £1.79, MyFabulosa.co.uk.
You can also do the same thing with bunches of dried herbs.
CLOVE CALL: Embark on a crafty adventure by making pomander balls with cloves and citrus fruits.
Stud oranges or lemons with whole cloves, creating intricate patterns or designs.
Not only will they look festive, but they’ll also emit a delightful scent.
