I was thinking the other day about how big an impact scents have on our holidays. We all smell Christmas trees and cinnamon around the winter holidays and are reminded right away of special Christmas memories. But what scents should we fill our homes with for Valentines Day? 
- Chocolate – Oh, yes. Gooey, rich “I’m working in a candy factory” chocolate. I once worked a few weeks in a Wockenfuss candy store as holiday help and the smell was just heavenly. (Although by the end of my short stay, I had no desire for chocolate. Luckily, it was a temporary aberration!) A nice chocolate candle on a candle warmer will do if you don’t feel like cooking, but you could also try baking a nice batch of brownies. Mmm.
- Roses – If the person you love has gifted you with a few dozen, you don’t need anything else. For those of you who don’t have a house that looks like a bouquet convention, candles, potpourri, or some nice scented room sprays should do the trick.
- Cinnamon – Those spicy little red hot candies that are such a part of our Valentines Day celebrations have a spicy cinnamon scent that make us think love and romance. Try cinnamon sticks, cinnamon water simmering on the stove, or candles. (Make sure you don’t leave the cinnamon water unattended!)
- Strawberries – That sweet strawberry scent is perfect, especially when you mix it with hints of chocolate. Candles again, of course!
