Fruit & green

Perfumes that smell like a Christmas tree

These perfumes capture the feel of a Christmas tree through balsam fir, pine and juniper berries, their green resinous sharpness softened by olibanum, elemi and incense. The result is a crisp, woody warmth that carries the forest's cool freshness indoors.
