Autumn Fragrance House – Mini Tutorial

I have a mission, to convince color that they hate cold, autumn and winter, to madly love these seasons.

After having given you my wish list of things to do I decided to move on to strong manners: I will touch the senses, the olfactory character.

Imagine a rainy Sunday afternoon, the days getting shorter and a bit boring. How about making a fragrance for the home with the flavor of Autumn?

A few simple ingredients, some time to give yourself (you don’t want very much) and voila, you will be amazed at Thow your house will smell … Ready?

Ingredients:

• 6-7 cinnamon sticks
• a handful of star anise
• 1 apple
• zest of 2 oranges
• water (half-liter of the base but dose as desired based on pot and pot size)
  If you like, you can add cardamom and carnation flowers.

Necessary material:

• 1 pot
• a glass vase
• a velvet ribbon (or simply from the autumnal color, here you can pick any)
• a telephone: this is used to photograph your creation 😉

Pour the orange zest into a pan, the apple cut in two and the remaining ingredients.
Boil on a low heat for about 1 hour.

Allow cooling for a quarter of an hour.
Place everything in a large vase and wrap the end with a velvet ribbon.

Now you can spend the afternoon sniffing your surroundings and letting this aroma capture the taste of autumn.

A very simple recipe but with an incredible result.
If you also add a lit fireplace and I would say that perfection is achieved.
