Winter calls for smells that surround you in a comforting embrace. With rich and cosy notes of amber, musk and sandalwood, Gold Series Serendipity can evoke warmth and relaxation, perfect for those cold nights by the fire.
EXPLORE EDIBLE DELIGHTS
Indulge your senses with wintry food fragrances. Scents that showcase sweet and enticing aromas such as chocolate, caramel and coffee, or spicy nutmeg and ginger, will evoke comfort and delight.
SEEK REFRESHING CITRUS
For those seeking a burst of energy and invigoration, citrus-based fragrances are an excellent choice. Notes of bergamot, lemon or grapefruit are refreshing and uplifting and can brighten even the gloomiest days.
EMBRACE SEASONAL MEMORIES
Winter landscapes can be inspiring, and fragrances that capture the essence of the great outdoors can transport you on a chilly morning. Look for woody notes such as pine, combined with hints of crispness or earthy elements. These fragrances bring freshness and nature to your routine.
EXPERIMENT AND PERSONALISE
Fragrances are personal. Take time to explore and experiment with different scents to find the one that complements your personality and style.
