Of our five senses, our keenest sense is our sense of smell, and nothing creates a holiday mood more quickly than the nostalgic scent of pine or cinnamon. “Each year when I design the Perfect Christmas Collection, I always think of the magic of being a child, of opening presents, of walking into friends’ homes and seeing the wreaths, the trees, the decorations and how specialit all was—it’s a movie—like a wonderful life—magical and nostalgic,” says Harry Slatkin, president of Slatkin & Co. and creator of home fragrance collections for Bath and Body Works. Harry has worked hard to re-create the holiday magic that he remembers as a child. In his Perfect Christmas Collection, he offers candles with four wonderful fragrances that evoke the best of the season’s memories past and present—Spice, Tree, Winter and Frosted Cranberry. These sophisticated fragrances recall crackling fires, the sweet smell of cinnamon, the essence of rich Douglas fir and orange pomanders. Andthis year, there is the addition of Evergreen, a blend of fresh green fir balsam with sparkling mint, cool pine and spicy clove, with a smoky touch of white birch and dark woods. To heighten the whimsical holiday cheer, Harry Slatkin has created festive figurals candles in classic holiday designs including penguins, polar bears and frosted snowmen...truly a simple way to add an element of holiday decor into any home interior. Besides the figural candle collection, there is a wide variety of holiday decor items that will also add a bit of holiday magic to your home.
