You can’t help but notice the rich jewelled hues of the trees at the moment – a truly spectacular gift from Mother Nature, and although this heralds the start of the festive season, an uncertain economy and the need for that extra luxurious twist with an ‘unluxurious’ pricetag is driving consumer purchases at the minute.
Fragrance evokes emotions and long lost memories that are especially poignant as we approach the festive season, and can provide solace and comfort in times of stress.
Small indulgences such as candles, air fresheners and personal care products remain a slice of affordable luxury that help to satisfy the consumers need for escape.
Take a stroll around any supermarket or high street shop and you are confronted by luscious shimmering autumnal tones of bronze, copper and platinum embellished products. Rich textures and dark tones such as ruby berries, iridescent midnight blues and golden ambers exude a sense of drama with a touch of opulence.
Sandalwood Cedarwood and Oak used alongside black pepper & spiced ginger, with ruby fruits and warm coffee are typical of the fragrances used in these sultry offerings. The type of fragrance that easily warms up a chilly winters evening.
Think log fires, mulled wine and good company – whether that be a loved one or that book you always meant to finish – kick back, relax and enjoy. Check out our Autumn Spice fragrance collection for further ideas.
