Diffusers And Candles That Smell Exactly Like Christmas-Alora Ambiance

Christmas is a time of celebration, festivities, food, family, and friends typically-all though this year this part looks quite different! Pleasant memories from childhood are re-ignited with the aroma of Christmas cookies, pine trees, and Christmas dinner in the oven!

I just love the many wonderful aromas of this beautiful magical season! And reed diffusers from Alora Ambiance provide a consistent aroma throughout the day all throughout my condo and they subtly impact my emotions and mood. They make for an easy and ideal way to create a festive and positive environment. As most of our time during the Christmas period is spent indoors and without family this year- we can turn to Alora Ambiance to enhance our moods and ward off depression while creating pleasant memories or reminding us of happy times past!

Pine and Cinnamon are two of my favorite holiday scents.

I associate the smell of pine with Christmas trees, so this scent is a favorite…especially since we have an artificial tree this year. The added benefit of this scent is that it is also known to help boost your metabolism, relax, and balance emotions. This is an ideal way to bring calmness to any Christmas occasion and help work off the delicious food consumed over the holidays.

Cinnamon is also an aroma that can trigger a sense of warmth via its impact on our sensory memory. Whether its cinnamon cookies fresh from the oven or hot drinks, this spicy aroma will remind you of a warm home filled with merry gatherings. Cinnamon can also support your immune system which can end up working overtime during the cold season.

I do love the smell of orange too especially if it is mixed in with the richness associated with cinnamon. This is an ideal smell with Christmas occurring during the citrus season, and it also is known to detoxify the body and help decrease pain that exists with inflammation.

Just some little fun facts for you!

I have shared Alora Ambiance with you many times in the past, including them in every holiday gift guide too because they just have the most beautiful reed diffusers and candles!!!! And their seasonal beauties FESTA AND PINO are back. And not a moment too soon. These beloved holiday heros - Festa with its cozy blend of cinnamon and bitter orange and Pino's signature blend of pine needle, amber and fresh greens - are a perfect way to greet the season. This is my first time to experience PINO this year and WOW!  Its signature blend of pine needles, amber and fresh greens is an ode to the legendary Alpine forest of Northern Italy. And I am just in love.

Clean and classic, this iconic diffuser design complements any décor as it radiates the signature scent throughout your space. The 8oz diffusers measure 14" tall and will last 1-3 months. The 16oz diffusers measure 17" tall and last 3-5 months. And my dears…they are the most fragrant diffuser I have ever witnessed!!!! Even when I open the door to take out the garbage my neighbor across the hall will say wow…it smells like Christmas in there! LOL. He’s not wrong.

The PINO candle is just beautiful too. The Alora Ambiance candles are 9 oz cotton wick candles ,measure 4" high and 3" wide and have a burn time of approximately 50 hours. The branding is on the glass is just exquisite too. Grab the PINO Gift Set too and save $14. It would just make for the most beautiful gift. Have Alora Ambiance send it directly to your recipient too.

The FESTA Gift Set is a lovely option too. This limited-edition holiday fragrance, Festa, is an unforgettable mix of cinnamon and bitter orange. The warm, inviting notes combine to set the perfect stage for a cozy holiday season. Combining both the longevity of their diffusers with the beauty of their candles, Alora Ambiance gift sets include an 8oz diffuser and a 9oz candle at a $14 savings.

Alora Ambiance has such a beautiful story! They are a woman owned brand and have just created something so special! Take a few seconds to read.

From ITALY WITH LOVE

My sister and I started Alora in 2000 after spending two years living together in Lake Como, Italy.  While there we often commented on how lucky we were to be living in such a beautiful place. It was unforgettable and to this day, 20 years later, we still talk (or laugh or cry) about all the special memories with hearts full of gratitude.

The two of us lived in a 150-year old villa overlooking Lake Como, and were constantly surrounded by beauty. We also traveled as often as we could. Last minute weekend trips to Florence, island getaways to Sardinia, afternoon boat rides up to Bellagio and Sunday hikes in the mountains overlooking Switzerland...we were exposed to so many things!
 
One of those things was a room fragrance we saw in a tiny local shop, similar to what would become our signature diffuser. Like so many other things in Italy, we fell in love with its simplicity and efficacy and knew others would too.

AMERICA

In 2000, we moved home to our family farm in Southern Minnesota where we designed our own diffuser, developed a trio of signature scents, and introduced America to a brand new home fragrance category. Our dad thought we were crazy, but he quickly became a regular on the assembly line and to this day remains our biggest fan.

By the end of 2000 we’d hand assembled 8000 diffusers and landed Alora in 12 boutiques across the country. In 2002, Barneys New York added Alora to their apothecary while People magazine revealed that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt used Alora in their home and the rest is history.

MINNESOTA

Today we no longer hand assemble products on our family farm (it’s all done by hand in St. Paul, Minnesota) and we’ve expanded the fragrance family to include 15 signature scents and have added candles to the product mix. My sister lives in Hawaii (another beautiful place!) and I run the company from Minneapolis, just a few hours from our family farm.

Our experience in Italy along with our Midwestern values have made Alora what it is today. We keep it simple because we were raised with a strong work ethic and a desire to always do the right thing. Our goal since day one was to translate beauty and value into the quality of our products so we could take care of you, our treasured customers. Even now, 20 years later, nothing makes us happier than seeing and hearing how we help make your gorgeous houses into beautiful homes.
