'A pine tree can be identified by more than simply its appearance. You can
tell it's authentic when you catch a hint of the woodsy scent,' says Mike Lansing, garden designer and managing editor at Planters Digest.
'To make an artificial tree smell more real, place ornaments made of fragrant sticks in a discrete location on the rear of the tree.
'Alternatively, a more natural option is to use pine needle essential oils or burn a pine-scented candle in the space.' You can find pine needle essential oil at Amazon.
You can also add natural sprigs of pine or fir to the tree which will emit a subtle scent.
