This month, we’re headed to some magical places. Ready?

First, we head to a quiet, snow-covered, evergreen forest by Lake Tahoe, where smoke swirls upwind. Then we visit a tiny French atelier, where the old proprietor tans leather and smokes a pipe. Finally, we head to the sunny sands of Rio. (Because December might be cold for you, but remember that Brazilians spend it on the beach. Jealous much?)

Winter by Dasein is redolent of a coniferous forest in which sharp needles have somehow been made velvety soft, but that's when things get really interesting. Black cardamom lends a smoky aspect that combines with lavender to create a subtly, unexpectedly gourmand—though not sweet—finish. Read more...

Cuirs by Carner Barcelona is the scent that Sara Carner was born to make. She draws on her family's long history of leather craftsmanship to create a classy, stylish leather that conjures images of Spanish leather workshops 100 years ago. Read more...

Still Life in Rio by Olfactive Studio is a luminous citrus with the slightest gourmand hints from rum and coconut water, and it's inspired by a mesmerizing photograph of Rio at dawn. Read more...

Above all, we hope your most magical December journey is to the people and places you hold dear. May the season be so full of love, kindness, and compassion that you can’t help but spread them around—everywhere, to everyone, always.
