Peppermint, pipe tobacco, and snow. And maybe a little wet wool

Snap...without reading what anyone else said:
Cinnamon
Or Reindeer Pee...not sure which, really.

Old people always smell like mothballs. Plus, his suit would have been in a footlocker or something all summer, so mothballs would make sense. He'd probably smell like product, too, because he has a lot of hair and it does look shiny.
So mothballs and hair gel.

I'm going with the peppermint/candy cane as my "snap" answer.
EDIT after reading thread: It behooves me to wonder, how did the previous respondent smell the moth's balls?

When I read the title of the topic, I thought, "Cinnamon." I guess other people feel the same.

Snap response - pine, vanilla and moth balls, and I KNOW someone will have a remark for that last one!
Edit - Yep, I was right!!

My very first thought when I saw the name of this thread was -
Gingerbread and eggnog.
So I went with it. I am sure cinnamon goes in there somewhere; wish I had a sense of smell... *sigh*

my initial reaction was "spruce, reindeer poo and soot." but after reading the message... well i dont think it would go down too well, heres my theory...
in the northern hemisphere it's winter, therefore the predominant smells should be "wintery" breathmints are good especialy if they are peppermint or spearmint(slightly lighter in smell, and not as harsh on the vocal chords).
Cinnamon is the Queen of spices and associated with christmas for a good reason... ever had a baked apple without it??
spruce, or fir trees (i think) are used as christmas trees, so use a mix of these scents to make a genuine "santa" smell for the northern half of the world.
if you are like me, and live south of the equator, you have a slightly harder problem. an aussie santa inveriably smells of V.B. sweat and willow (as in a cricket bat) or alternatively, you could use a small bag of huon pine shavings, pine needles, and instead of just cinnamon, round it out with a little ginger or nutmeg.
any scent that brings feelings of warmth, security and love can be found in most kitchens the world over. fresh baked bread, cookies in the oven etc sell houses so why couldnt they sell santa??
... if all else fails, stuff a few HOME MADE or homestyle choc chip cookies in the shirt. it may leave a few crumbs but the kids love the smell.
