As the days become slower and the evenings a little longer, we naturally find ourselves reaching for deeper, warmer fragrances.
The kind that fill a room with comfort, linger on your favourite knit, and become part of those small rituals that make winter feel warm and cosy.
Just as we swap linen for wool and iced coffees for hot chocolates, our fragrance preferences begin to shift too. Fresh citrus notes make way for rich woods, soft spices and comforting amber – scents that create a feeling of warmth the moment they're lit, spritzed or worn.
This season, we're reaching for Haze and Dune.
Haze – Mysterious, Bold & Effortlessly Sophisticated
Fragrance Family: Dry Woods | Rich | Spice
Top Notes: Cinnamon Leaf, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Elemi, Oud Wood
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Leather Amber
Haze is the fragrance you'll reach for when you want your space to feel luxurious, warm and inviting.
Opening with the brightness of bergamot and aromatic cinnamon leaf, it settles into rich oud wood before finishing with earthy cedarwood, patchouli and soft leather amber. The result is a fragrance that feels layered, comforting and undeniably sophisticated.
Perfect for:
- Slow Sunday mornings
- Cosy nights by candlelight
- Dinner parties and entertaining
- Creating a warm, welcoming home
Dune – Warm, Grounding & Comforting
Fragrance Family: Earthy | Woody | Grounding
Dune has become a winter favourite for those who love fragrances that feel warm, familiar and calming.
Designed for quiet moments and slower living, Dune brings a sense of stillness to your home. It's the scent of wrapping yourself in your favourite knit, lighting a candle after work and embracing the slower rhythm that winter invites.
Whether you're resetting after a busy day or creating a peaceful space to unwind, Dune is the fragrance you'll continue coming back to all season long.
Why We Naturally Reach for Warmer Fragrances in Winter
Our connection to fragrance often changes with the seasons.
During winter, richer woody notes, warming spices and earthy accords create a feeling of comfort that lighter summer fragrances simply can't replicate. They add depth to your home, encourage moments of pause and help transform ordinary routines into rituals worth slowing down for.
Lighting a candle while cooking dinner. Spritzing your bedroom before bed. Applying your favourite parfum before heading out for the day.
These are the small moments that become even more meaningful during the cooler months.
