Living in a city, this is not the best place to announce to everyone you love snow as people tend to get upset since snow makes everything more difficult (and the fact that it needs to be removed from pretty much everywhere in order to get anywhere makes people cranky). I, I adore snow. I adore the way air starts smelling of it even weeks before it falls, I love the quiet it brings when it's falling and once it's on the ground, I love walking in it, I love snow-fights and snowmen, there is pretty much nothing about snow that I don't love.
So, naturally, as we've had some for the last 10 days or so (not too much and it melts quickly), I started thinking about scents that manage, even for a few seconds, to conjure that smell of snow in the air.
You know, the one that smells cold and fresh, but almost electrically sweet. Snow for me never smells like it brings cold of both spirit and body, for me the cool smell of snow brings clarity of mind, freeing of the spirit from all that weighs on it and childlike happiness. So, of course, a perfume that could evoke that would be much welcome.
As I've been thinking about this for some days now, I realized I have a wonderful collection of perfumes to wear when it's cold outside that make me feel warm but none that makes me feel like I'm enjoying a brisk walk in the snow. Or standing outside in the cold night air, breathing fully the snowy freshness and contemplating the stars in the sky...
The closest I got was Sushi Imperiale which for me evokes the happiness of a snowfight but it's a bit too childlike for me.
So, now I'm asking for some help - what are the perfumes that evoke the smell of snow for you?
