In 2003, the House of Malle released one of its strangest, most ethereal creations:
L'Eau d'Hiver, the smell of sunlight on snow. Characterized by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena's artful use of powdery heliotrope and iris and accented by white musks, honey, and flowers, it was heralded at the time as one of the most artistically elegant creations of the time.
In the years since, no one else seems to have attempted any variations on the idea. L'Eau d'Hiver has stood alone as the most pure expression of the smell of Winter ever devised, and its bright, chipper nature and refined French pedigree tend to give the wearer an impression of sunlit ski slopes and thick woolen sweaters.
But that was then. And there are places in the world where Winter is a decidedly less cheerful affair.
Net wt. 4 oz.
Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.
