In these post-Christmas months, Spring has never felt closer, and yet the Winter chill remains.
In the spirit of enjoying these closing winter days whilst we still can, let’s take a look at how scent can be used to warm the soul, energise the mind, and calm the body.
We’ll also see how we can supplement the winter scent experience with the traditional accoutrements that we’ve all come to love.

What makes a warming scent?
Warming scents have a profound effect on our well-being, especially during colder months. They evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and relaxation, almost like being wrapped in a soft blanket.
By stimulating our sense of smell, they can uplift our mood, reduce stress, and even improve sleep. These scents create a cosy atmosphere in our homes, making them perfect retreats from the cold.
Essentially, warming scents serve as an emotional and physical warm-up, improving our sense of comfort and overall happiness during the winter season.
Winter Evergreen
If you’re not ready to say goodbye to the cold months quite yet, then Charles Farris’ Winter Evergreen scented candles are the perfect accompaniment for you.
With deep notes of pine and cedar, Winter Evergreen works perfectly to encapsulate the clean essence of a winter forest straight into your home.
More subtle notes of eucalyptus will purify and clear the mind, while the sweet, tart scent of cranberry works to add that unmistakable festive air that is so often difficult to let go of.
Grand Cascade
For a more traditional scent of warmth, why not consider the rich industrial notes of 1840s London, courtesy of Grand Cascade? With smoky profiles of aged leather, birch, fresh moss and amber, the 3-Wick Grand Cascade Scented Candle provides up to 80 hours of grounded, earthy fragrance.
The magic of this luxury-scented candle lies in the surprising top notes of raspberry, lemon, and bergamot that offer a more refreshing zest on top of its more grounded profile.
Immerse yourself one last time with traditional winter pastimes
With most of Winter behind us, it can be tough for those of us who relish in the frosty months to embrace the transitionary period of Spring. If this is you, then here are some easy ways you can stay in the Winter way of being until spring is officially here.
Cosy indoor activities
Spend time indoors indulging in cosy activities such as reading books, watching movies, or trying out new recipes for hearty comfort foods like soups, stews, and baked goods. Winter evenings are perfect for immersing yourself in a captivating story, expanding your imagination, and filling your home with enticing aromas that satisfy your stomach or your sweet tooth.
Nature Walks
On the other hand, you could wrap up and find a beautiful walking route to enjoy. Bring a camera to capture the enchanting winter scenery – experiment with angles and lighting to preserve memories of bare trees and crisp landscapes.
Use these walks for mindful reflection, disconnecting from technology to embrace the tranquillity of late winter scenery. This engages the senses and rejuvenates the mind, body, and soul in a way that even luxury-scented candles can’t achieve.
Saying a sombre farewell to the magic of winter
As we bid farewell to the final weeks of winter, let’s take advantage of these remaining moments amidst the cold. Whether indulging indoors, exploring outside, or enjoying the traditional winter scents brought to you by Charles Farris, there is a tranquillity and a warmth to cherish.
