Christmas is undoubtedly a feast on all the senses, but it's the smells that you always remember. The fresh scent of pine trees, the rich concoction of mulled wine and spiced gingerbread and the unforgettable fragrance of a roaring log fire will always take you right back to Christmas!
The new collection of festive soaps from Woods of Windsor are a veritable smorgasbord of scents, the very essence of what Christmas should smell like. In four delicious fragrances, I challenge you to just pick one - and in their beautifully illustrated wrappers they are almost too gorgeous to give away (or use...)
Sweet Fig & Pomegranate is a seasonal blend of Mediterranean fig, cassis and plum, caressed by juicy pomegrante and cranberry with nuances of winter flowers that are balanced by a soft base of cashmere musks, warm amber and cedarwood milk. Amber & Myrrh is an oriental seasonal fragrance containing bergamot, raspberry and coconut with an exotic heart of vetivert and green fern complemented by a rich balsamic base of amber cystals, myrrh and black musks.
The heady Frankincense & Nutmeg has top notes of giner, nutmeg and soft spice and a sensual heart of frankincense enhanced with a rich accord of myrrh, woods and moss. Finally my favourite, Spiced Vanilla, combines notes of citrus fruits and spiced cinnamon with hints of ginger and apple, complemented by a sweet sensation of musk amber and vanilla pod - almost sounds good enough to eat.
Woods of Windsor soaps are triple milled for a luxurious lather, plus the soaps won't go soggy or crack when they dry out. Perfection. They make a wonderful stocking filler...or a little treat for yourself...
