oh, my! sooo good! I used an old pan in this, and while it's heating, I spooned some of it with an orange & lemon slice for my oil burner. It smells like those of expensive vials of oil perfumes. Now I don't have to spend that much! It covered the scent of burnt smoke from the oven after I baked. Thank you very much! Perfect! *all praises* -
I made this last year for Christmas gifts. Everyone liked it and I've had requests for the same thing this year.

I had a Christmas party tonight and put this on the stove about an hour before my guests arrived. My entire downstairs smells wonderful! Thanks so much, Katha! -
I burn this scent often in the days leading up to Christmas. Smells divine! -
I made this exactly like it was written and it's just lovely. I tried it to get rid of the smell of frying french fries and it was perfect. It was so festive. Thanks.
