Winter Preview


Update: The Winter Collection will debut on Saturday, November 19th at 11:00 AM EST

The winter collection will debut within the next couple of weeks. The date of the release will be announced on Etsy and Facebook… I will post an update in this blog post as well. Krumkake, Snowdrift, and Wassail have been reformulated, but the scents are not too drastically different from last year.

If you would like to try out the winter scents before the release, they are now available in the Soap Sampler and Perfume Oil Sampler. Each will be available in cold process soap, cream soap, sugar polish, body whip, body gloss, and perfume oil.

Glühwein
A traditional German winter drink of mulled wine… prefect for cold winter days. Black cherry wine warmed with fresh orange slices accented with dark spice and sweetened with a drop of honey.

Hearth
Warm, sweet, and comforting… a winter morning treat by a cozy fireplace. Creamy oat porridge drizzled with milk and honey accented with dried citrus slices, white spice, and the faint smoky aroma of crackling firewood.

Krumkake
Norwegian Krumkake is a delicious filled waffle cone cookie traditionally made during the Yuletide season. Freshly baked gingerbread, brown sugar, creamy butter, and dark molasses dusted with saffron, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon and filled with caramelized chestnuts in thick vanilla cream.

Krumkake

Northwoods
Reminiscent of a refreshing walk through a forest of frosted evergreen trees on a snowy winter day. Crisp silver cedar and blue spruce amid lifting notes of citrus, soft herbs and wild mint grounded with smoky musk and vetiver.

Panettone
Panettone is a classic Italian fruit-filled sweet bread enjoyed during winter holidays… festive and delicious. Tart cranberries, apples, ripe figs, and crunchy walnuts in sumptuous batter of rich golden cake.

Snowdrift
“I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.” – Mae West. White jasmine and crisp heliotrope floating over rose, carnation, gingered peach, and juniper berry in a sheer base of aged patchouli, smoky vetiver, sandalwood with a stray drop of black vanilla.

Snowdrift

Wassail
Wassail is a medieval hot, spiced punch often associated with Yuletide. Juicy apples and orange zest simmering with warm spices of fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg spiked with vintage ale and dark patchouli.

    Dear alchemic muse
    We are a small upscale dayspa in Michigan;
    I have written to you in the past, however you were so busy last year – still inquiring as to whether you will enterain the idea of selling a 1/2 gallon size or larger of body scrub & body whip for a Krumkake or Wassail body treatment we could offer at our spa during the holiday season. I would addtionally purchase retail sizes from you to sell in our boutique, with your labeling of course,
    Please let me know

    Thank you
