Looking towards the light
When I was a child, it was somewhat common to lay out branches of juniper or spruce at the entrance of your house around Christmas. When you arrived as a guest and stepped on this festive season's door mat, it releases the snow from underneath your shoes while at the same time the branches would release a strong conifer scent of essential oils – a scent that reigned supreme in a botanical world that was otherwise in its deepest winter sleep. In a child's mind, that scent also initiated and released all the suspense and joy over arriving at a Christmas party, at the homes of relatives you did not see much for the rest of the year. The house itself would smell fresh of pine needles and lavender, since everyone used a special, natural soap for the kind of wooden floors that are common in my country.
Little surprise for me personally, then, living through a few fairly cold and dark weeks every year, that Paris-Édimbourg quickly became my favourite winter fragrance. It has very well blended notes that I find immensely bright and refreshing – in a dark winter it is the perfect uplifting scent for outdoor activities that brightens your day every time. The sun's winter solstice has passed, and all your biological, unconscious focus is on the fact that every day brings a little more light and spring is a little bit closer in time. Although Paris-Édimbourg is not a signature scent for me, it is the perfect companion for those days.
