I cut small evergreen twigs and keep them in a vase or make them into a wreath. Every now and then I crush a few small ends with pliers to release the fragrance. Now I can have the scent with an artificial tree! As for the cinnamon scented pine cones, I set some them in a basket over the heat vent and when the heat comes on so does the aroma.
