    I'm in Dublin, have you noticed the majority of Christmas trees on sale in the last 10 yrs have no smell at all? I'd really like to get a fantastic smelling tree this year. I don't care if the needles drop! I've never been able to find any. Please let me know if you found any last yr or this yr? Thanks!:D

    My family thought I was mad when I told them 2 years ago that there was no smell from the tree. Last year they were instructed to buy a smelly tree but still no decent Christmassy smell. I miss that!

    I always get a strong smelling Noble Fir in the Carrickmines Christmas Tree Farm.

    If you're anywhere near Celbridge, the ACRE project have Noble Firs and are selling them at Salesians school.

    They also have Nordmann Firs which supposedly look fuller - you might be able to ask for a branch off a Noble for the smell and stick it into the Nordmann for the best of both.

    That looks amazing, haven't seen a real tree like that for a really long time.

    I got this myself to help with the smell

    Also saw these, but went with the candle as thought I could manage the strength of the smell a bit more easily
