Scent Notes
Top Notes (Red Wine, Pomegranate, Red Currant, Orange Peel)
Tart and juicy with just the right amount of citrus, Drinking Season opens with bold notes like that first festive sip of a full-bodied red wine.
Middle Notes (Geranium, Neroli, Jasmine, Violet)
A soft floral heart adds a lift, balancing the richness of the fruits and spice with a subtle sweetness.
Base Notes (Clove, Star Anise, Whiskey, Aged Oak Barrels)
A warm and spiced foundation of clove and anise wrapped in smooth whiskey and aged oak barrels adds coziness and depth.
Inspiration
This scent is an ode to the kind of gathering that begins with a pour. A pot of mulled wine simmering on the stove, friends arriving one by one, cheeks flushed from the cold. Drinking Season captures that familiar warmth and coziness that makes your space the place to be, a place where no one is in a rush to leave.
“I created this to smell like my favorite fall and winter drink, mulled wine. But instead of simply adding “wine” as a note, I built the wine profile by layering tart red fruits, bright florals, and warm oak. Then, complemented it with the notes that make for a perfect glass of mulled wine: spices and citrus. The result captures everything I love about a cozy glass on a cold night. It reminds me of strolling through a German Christmas market, hands wrapped around a warm cup, casually shopping with nowhere to be. It’s nostalgic in all the right ways. Jewel-toned, a little sweet, and so comforting you’ll want to burn it on repeat all season.”
