The sweet, bracing scent of pine resin is one of the most iconically seasonal fragrances, and this year, there are tons of ways to enjoy your favorite evergreen. If you want a home that's redolent of conifer, this lovely Diptyque Limited Edition Pine Candle ($68) is just the scent for you. If you're more inclined toward a subtle hint of pine, you can get your fix with Jo Malone Limited-Edition Pine & Eucalyptus Living Cologne ($95) or Juniper Ridge Cascade Glacier Essential Oil Blend ($18). And if you like scrubbing with the cleansing power of pine, soapy treats like Lightfoot's Pure Pine Soap Gift Box ($20) and Pangea Organics Canadian Pine with White Sage Shower Gel ($16) are an inexpensive way to smell like pine all day.
