Juniper and elderberry open the season, cold and a little resinous, like the air outside when you head out to buy the tree. Tart cranberries and juicy orange follow, red and shiny, like the sweets on the branches you steal when nobody is looking.

Pine and musk settle it all into a snowy forest base, clean and cosy at the same time. Light it while decorating the tree, setting the Christmas Eve table, or standing under the mistletoe waiting, entirely by chance, for the right person to walk past.
