    Pine cones are a natural element that is very easy to find and that we can use for a variety of purposes at home, from decorations to centerpieces to creating beautiful wreaths. Today we will see how easy it is to use a pine cone to create a natural scent with great scenic effect.





    Let's start by washing our pine cone, deprived of the pine nuts, with hot water: we leave the pine cone to soak for about ten minutes, so that the heat of the water "melts" the dirt. If we notice any encrustations of soil, we can remove them with the help of an old toothbrush. After having washed and rinsed it well, we must make sure to dry it as much as possible, to avoid the risk of foul-smelling molds forming: if it is summer, we can let the pine cone dry in the sun, hanging it out on the balcony; if time does not allow it, we can pass the pine cone for about ten minutes in the oven on at minimum power (being very careful not to burn it).

    Once dry, we vaporize the pine cone with a solution of water in which we will have dissolved some drops of essential oil of our choice. If we want to adopt room-scented pine cones in every room of our apartment, we can play with fragrances and give each room a scent: we recommend lavender oil for the bedrooms (as it reconciles a good rest), orange or lemon oil for the kitchen and rose oil for the living area.

    Then we transfer the scented pine cone inside a bag or glass jar that we will hermetically close and leave to rest in a dry place for a week: in this way, the wood of which the pine cone is made will be able to absorb the perfume. essential oil. After a week we will be able to "release" the pine cone, which will have become very fragrant, and hang it in the room; we can also place it in a wicker basket or small tray… to create a lovely ornament at the same time.
