What’s Your Favourite Christmas Scent?

Earlier this week I saw a question on Yahoo! Answers asking what’s the best cologne for Christmas – something that has a wintery scent. To me, Christmas and wintery means cinnamon and spices and the first fragrance that came to mind was Diesel Zero Plus for men.

Yes I know it’s cheap and nothing fancy but for me, nothing comes close to the spicy cinnamon zingyness of Zero Plus. It’s just a shame it’s becoming harder and harder to find anywhere but online. Interestingly, later the same day somebody posted another question wanting to know where she could find Zero Plus on the highstreet. Here’s what some smartypants posted in reply:

“Red diesel is what they put in tractors to make them go. Not sure I would use it, but then I don’t shave. I suppose it’s a bit like easy-to-apply petroleum jelly and has some lubrication properties. Smells a bit, but some people like the smell. Zero plus must mean it has no additives, other than what makes it red. They put the red dye in it, because it is subsidised and can be easily spotted by revenue officers if used in road vehicles. I imagine it gives a rosier complexion to the cheeks. So your best bet is to find a farmer somewhere, bring an empty bottle and ask if you can fill up.”

So which, if any, of your favourite fragrances remind you of Christmas?
