A limited edition botanical perfume to help us celebrate the winter season
Curl up by the fire with a warm spiced cider. Bows of evergreens bring the winter woods inside, and the aroma of sweet fir dances with the spices you enjoy. A hint of saffron wafting from the kitchen reminds you how blessed and abundant you are. The winter is a time to enjoy the richness of our hearths and homes, to celebrate our blessings with festivities and gifts.
