Fir Balsam & Winter Berries Votive

Winter Berries is a hibernal scent filled with Yuletide ritual. It is gathered with the midwinter green and ushered in on gloved hands and misted breath.

The ripe sweetness of winter fruits wraps and weaves through a heart of fir and cedar and birch. Woody stems plaited in rings of seasonal celebration, studded with red berries and cinnamon bark. Wrapped in the smoothness of silk ribbons this rustle of top notes nestles on a bed of amber and balsam. Rounded and warm and waiting for guests.

As foliage twists and fingers knot ribbon, this is a scent that sits softly in the solstice. It watches the frost melt on the windows from the rich glow it casts indoors. A steady companion to wreath and garland, to carol singers and spiced drinks.
