When ÇaFleureBon posted in December our favorite winter fragrances the temps were so warm many of us were wearing short sleeves!  Much of January has felt like the big chill, with the first heavy snow ready to blanket much of the country. Digging out of the snow is not high on anyone’s list, so many of us will stay indoors. If you are going to have cabin fever you might as well smell great.

Olfactif.com has recently introduced curated samplers so you can try before you buy. The Cozy in Cold Weather sampler  is particularly apropos featuring:

Trayee by Neela Vermeire Créations (Bertrand Duchaufour), Geisha Noire by Aroma M (Maria McElroy),   Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums, Memoirs of a Trespasser by Imaginary Authors (Josh Meyer), Black Flower Mexican Vanilla by Dame Perfumery and  Woodcut by Olympic Orchids (Ellen Covey)  All samples are in 2.25 ml glass vials (1.75 ml for Geisha and Trayee)

 It’s months away from spring,   giving you plenty of time to explore new fragrances.   Remember April is the cruelest month…which is why a three month Olfactif.com subscription sounds mighty fine right about now (February, March and April 2016).

Thanks to Tara Swords of Olfactif.com can laugh at the weather gods with a draw  for two registered US readers.  To be eligible take a look at Olfactif.com’s site and tell us your favorite cold weather fragrance, be sure to subscribe to the newsletter click here  (this must be done or the comment will not count) and let us know if you want the sampler or the 3 month subscription. Draw closes 1/24/2015.
