But for those who use keep an artificial holiday tree on hand for the occasion, the smell of freshly cut greenery can't be pulled from an artificial holiday tree. ScentSicles provides an inventive solution to this dilemma by making scented tree ornaments, which come in varieties such as 'It's a Wonderful Pine,' 'White Winter Fir' and 'Snow Berry Wreath.' These scented Christmas ornaments take the form of green-colored sticks made of "natural, biodegradable, compostable and sustainably managed paper," which can be suspended from one's holiday tree with the hooks that are included in each slender package. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Scented Ornaments:** Creating scented ornaments as a delightful and interactive way to bring scent into the festive season - **Sustainable Scents:** Developing scented products that are sustainably made and environmentally friendly - **Artificial Tree Enhancement:** Innovating ways to improve and enhance the experience of using an artificial Christmas tree ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for companies that produce home decor items to introduce unique and innovative scented ornaments - **Fragrances:** Potential for the fragrance industry to expand into producing scent-infused products for holidays and special occasions - **Sustainable Products:** Chance for companies that focus on sustainable and eco-friendly products to produce scented ornaments that align with their values ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Perfume Bottle Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfume-bottle-ornaments.md) - [Scent-Forward Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scentforward-gift-sets-nest-new-yorks-holiday-gift-sets-are-an-indlugence-f.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Fragrant Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-tree-displays.md) - [Festive Water Enhancer Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-up-christmas-cheers.md) - [Festive Pickle Fragrance Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-pickle-ornament-body-mist.md) - [Tobacco-Scented Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-high-light.md) - [Earthy Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-candle.md) - [Festive Home Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecourt-balsam-fireplace.md)
