Fête d'Hiver incense evokes a snow-covered rose garden, cobblestoned ancient city, blanketed with snow on the longest night of the year. Whiffs of fragrant mulled wine escape the door as someone enters it, shaking the snow off their furry coat collar.  Picture yourself entering an ancient stone cathedral for Midnight Mass, lit with beeswax candles on the darkest night of the year, and shrouded in a thick cloud of frankincense smoke mingled with roses, lilies and orchard breeze from far away lands. 

Fête d'Hiver incense was created especially for the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. The fragrance is redolent of frankincense, amber, rose, jasmine, orange peel, grapefruit blossoms and spices. It is rich, dense and 

Fête d'hived Winter Solstice Incense cones come in a box containing paper-wrapped bundle of 18 incense sticks. 

To burn the incense sticks: Place the lit stick (light the tip and then blow out the flame) on a bowl full of ash (preferably rice ash). This will enable the stick to burn without any bits left off. If you have a designated incense dish with a hole you may also use that. It will leave a tiny bit of incense unused though.

Velvety, deep aromas of aniseed notes with a warm base of woods and iris along with cool, green notes of violet leaf and boronia create an unusual, mysterious perfume of extreme individuality: enigmatic and reflective as the sky after sunset.

Top notes: Anise, Neroli, Tarragon, Caraway

Heart notes: Boronia, Carnation, Orris Butter

Base notes: Amber, Frankincense, Himalaya Cedarwood

New perfume that captures the wonderful scent that can be experienced in late summer and early autumn in the Pacific northwest rainforests: It emanates from the sun-dappled fragrant forest floor on those warm days when the sun brings out the sweet smells of redcedar, moss & Douglas fir… 

If the word "Petrichor" describes the smell of the parched earth after the rain, then this perfumeaccurately captured the wonderful cedrechor scent - "blood of the cedar" - the smell of the forest after the sun. Cedrechor can be experienced in late summer and early autumn in the Pacific Northwest rainforests: It emanates from the sun-dappled fragrant forest floor on those warm days when the sun brings out the sweet smells of redcedar wood chips on the forest floor, mingled with antlered perfume (another name for oaks) and Douglas fir needle.

It's the Pacific Northwest equivalent of the Meditteranean "Garrigue" (the intoxicating odour of sunbaked earth and scrubland, dominated by sage and labdanum), and in my mind I've been describing it as "Forest Amber" or "Pacific Chypre".  But non of these names seemed to capture the magic quite as perfectly. So I've reached out to the Japanese language, which has a special word for the interplay of light and leaves, which includes the sunbeams one would observe coming through the trees and shedding light on the vapour they exhale; as well as the dappled-gold forest floor, a vision that is shifting yet constant, as long as the sun is there. This is the essence of komorebi in the Pacific rainforest. 

This perfume is the first in a series of perfumes dedicated to special places in the Pacific Northwest. Place of inspiration: Cathedral trail in Xwayxway (Stanley Park)

Notes: Redcedar, Fir, Oakmoss, Black Cottonwood 

Fragrance Families: Woody, Ambery, Chypre

Every spring, the rhododendrons awaken - first slowly, to build anticipation. By early May, these fragrant azaleas paint the edges of Lost Lagoon with an explosion of colours and tropical scents: lily, ylang ylang and cool suntan lotion. Bluebells, violets, magnolia, lilac and syringa contribute their luscious perfume to the already fragrant air; and freshly cut grass from the Pitch & Putt is the only reminder you're still in the Northern Hemisphere...

Lost Lagoon is the third perfume in "Perfume for a Place" series, dedicated to Ayala's favourite places in Vancouver. 

Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Galbanum
Heart Notes: Rhododendron, Magnolia, Ylang Ylang, Violet
