"Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people's legs like house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world.”
- Sarah Addison Allen
Hello friends,
Brrrr. Hoo baby, it’s cold outside. A chilly nip in the air announces that the wheel of the year has turned once more, beginning the final chapter of seasons, Winter.
Darkness lingers longer into the morning, and begins earlier each evening, bringing us indoors to nest and hibernate. A blanket of snow settles around Mother Nature, tucking her in for a nap and the whole world follows. A quiet hush beckons us too, calling us to slow down, take time to pause and rest deeply.
In winter, the world is transformed into a realm of contrasts, where the stark beauty of snow and ice contrasts with the warmth of human connection. It's a season that urges us to seek comfort in the embrace of loved ones, to share stories and laughter, and to celebrate the simple joys of life.

Bay Rum – Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Bay Rum conjures up Pirates of the Caribbean vibes. This scent is a hallmark of the tropical islands, where the alluring blend of exotic bay leaves, clove, allspice, citrus and dark rum come together creating this timeless fragrance. You may remember this as a classic men’s cologne, marketed to rugged adventurers or modern-day explorers, but it’s spicy, herbal, leafiness, plus top notes of orange rind and apple peel, feel perfectly festive for the season. It’s a charming holiday addition to anyone’s cleansing routines.
Christmas Cheer – If you could wrap up Christmas morning in a bar of soap, this would be it – all the holly jolly in one little package. The bright red color is a nod to Santa’s suit. And the fragrance is merry and bright – orange zest, brandied pear, cloves, nutmeg and juniper berries. It’s a celebration of fruits, spices and greens.
Jack Frost – Inspired by the crisp, icy touch of Jack Frost himself, this scent blends tingly peppermint with the clean freshness of woodsy fir needle. It’s a captivating combination that transports you to a wintry forest sparkling under a blanket of frost, awakening your senses like the invigorating chill of a winter’s day.
Three Kings – The precious gifts of the Wise Men, carrying ancient treasures of frankincense, myrrh, and gold to the new king is a holy symbol of the season. Sweet, warm and earthy, the sacred scents of frankincense, myrrh, and amber are blended with warm notes of cinnamon sticks, luxurious cashmere and tonka bean. This fragrance envelopes you in a cocoon of warmth, tranquility and opulence.
Vanilla Cardamom – Sweet, creamy and smooth, this blend of rich Madagascar vanilla combines with pretty, floral cardamom spice. Notes of bergamot, delicate jasmine, warm clove, and quiet sandalwood round out and deepen the soft, elegant fragrance. It’s a plush, comforting, snuggle in a cozy blanket on a frigid, blustery day.
Winter Moon – Wispy remnants of a lingering winter bonfire carry the woodland smells of a quiet winter night. Sandalwood, tree moss and holy wood capture the serene beauty and tranquil elegance of a winter landscape bathed in moonlight. Delicate woodland whispers and earthy, soft embers calm and ground you in the peace of the season.
Add a little festive spirit to your home with one of our winter holiday home fragrance sprays. Mist your house and holiday decorations just before guests arrive, or spritz inside your gift boxes, cards and stockings – your family and friends will receive a whoosh of holiday cheer when they open their presents.
