As the scents of summer fade and we move through autumn towards winter, it is interesting to explore how seasons influence our bath bomb choices. Whilst fragrances help us stand out from the crowd, you would stick out rather awkwardly wearing coconut in the winter or Christmas cinnamon in the summer so we normally choose scents that reflect the changing odours around us.
In the summer we tend to wear lighter more floral, fresh and fruity based perfumes. They mimic and compliment the aromas that fill the air. As summer fades our tastes shift.
As we move into Autumn, we tend to be attracted by the slightly heavier earthier elements. As the trees shed their leaves the scent of their saps and resins are revealed. These can be bitter sweet, sometimes even sugary. Pine and other evergreens smells we associate with cleanliness become more prominent. A few fragrant flowers persist through autumn such as Lavender.
As the ambient temperature drops and winter is upon us we tend to search out those perfumes that are slightly stronger (it is harder for our noses to smell in colder weather) and will still shine through even in cold weather. Perfumes become more fragrant when they are warm and this is also the time when we take more baths to relax and warm ourselves up.
Our perfume choices for Winter then, would be those based on warm woods, rich fragrant spices, bitter sweet amber resins, warm and comforting vanilla, and perhaps a touch of either white flowers to add prettiness or the heavier narcotic florals to add depth.
