5 Festive Scents for a Christmas Feeling

What to look for in a festive scent

When choosing the right winter scent, it’s all about a combination of sweet fruity notes and rich, spicy extracts. While fruity tones give your fragrance a fresh flavour, wintertime calls for a mixture of heavier woody blends. If you love citrusy perfumes, you’ll be pleased to know that there are lots of summer-to-winter scents that are wearable throughout the holiday season. You can find these in our fresh fragrances range.
