Spiritus Hiemis

About the formula

Spiritus Hiemis (The Spirit of Winter) captures the eternal meeting of frost and flame, that primordial tension where stillness meets creation. It opens with crystalline air: menthol, aldehyde, and fir, evoking the breath of frozen light. As the cold softens, warmth stirs within: frankincense and elemi rise like smoke through snow, tempered by orris and a spark of cinnamon leaf. In the base, benzoin, myrrh, and labdanum form a molten amber, glowing with slow, sacred heat. Inspired by the cosmic dance of opposing realms, the frost of the void and the fire of becoming, Spiritus Hiemis distills winter into spirit itself: austere yet alive, silent yet radiant.
