Step into a snow-laden forest glade where the world stands dormant and waiting, quiet and still... if only for a moment. Amidst the hush and monochromatic palette, interrupted only by the stark bare tree trunks, your senses are heightened, yet you feel only peace and serenity enveloping you. You wrap your heavy cloak tighter about your body to stay warm as icy tendrils rise from your exhale. Standing motionless there in the stillness, you begin to notice more. The swivel of a snowy owl's head in the branches far above, watching intently for the imperceptible movements of its prey. A tiny tufted titmouse peeks timidly at you from behind the trunk of a white pine. At the base of a mighty oak whose brittle leaves gallantly cling and gently rustle in the chill breeze, you glimpse the icy petals of a resolute cluster of humble snowdrops tenderly and discreetly waking from their blanket of glistening snow- a promise of spring's green hope - it's tiny blossoms a transcendent sight.
Our Winter Musk bar seeks to capture this sense of quietude and ethereal beauty. An earthy brown tone punctuated by glimpses of white artfully represents the pure white petals of snowdrops emerging from the bare winter earth, harkening spring's inevitable arrival. The scent is deeply textured - a delicate bouquet of lily of the valley and sweet violets emerges from a mossy crown in a gentle opening verse. Here we are invited to wrap ourselves in the comforting swathe of cashmere - rich saffron yields to a cocoon of dark musk and woody vetiver, offering a finish of quiet drama. Tender yet decadent.
