Meet the Winter Reverie Collection: The Quiet Luxury of the Holidays
Share
When I sat down to create this year's holiday collection, I didn't start with a list of scents. I started with a feeling.
I wanted to capture the quiet luxury of the holidays: not the rush and the noise, but the moments in between. The hush of a house after everyone's gone to bed. Candlelight and soft knitwear. The first breath of cold air on a snowy morning. A warm bath at the end of a long December day. Those small, still moments are when the season feels most like magic to me.
So I built every scent in the Winter Reverie Collection around the notes that bring me back to that feeling. If a scent didn't make me want to slow down, light a candle and exhale, it didn't make the collection.
The result is our most elevated holiday collection yet: luxury botanical body care formulated in our North Kingstown, Rhode Island lab, designed to keep your skin soft through the coldest months and to give you a few quiet, luxurious moments of your own this season. Here's a closer look at each scent, and why it made the cut.
Crimson Berry
Cranberry • Black Currant • Cashmere Amber
Crimson Berry is the elegant side of the holidays: tart, jewel-red cranberry and dark, velvety black currant settling into a soft glow of cashmere amber. To me, it's candlelight on the tree, a glass of something red and slipping into your softest sweater. Festive, but never loud. Sweet without being sugary, elegant without being heavy.
Find it as a rich organic body butter, a cold-process cleansing bar naturally colored with organic cranberry, hibiscus and organic rhubarb, and an organic botanical perfume.
Narnia
Sparkling Bergamot • Juniper • Velvety Moss • Balsam • Eucalyptus
Narnia is that hushed, snow-covered stillness I love most about winter: an evergreen forest after fresh snowfall. Crisp bergamot and eucalyptus open like a breath of cold, clean air, softening into juniper and deep balsam before settling into velvety moss. Fresh, grounding and beautifully gender-neutral.
This year, Narnia returns as our organic botanical perfume.
Holiday Herb + Blueberry
Wild Blueberry • Garden Thyme
This one is the quiet joy of a holiday kitchen: winter berries and fresh-cut herbs on the table before everyone arrives. Juicy wild blueberry meets fresh, green garden thyme, bright and sweet, then herbaceous and grounding.
Find it as a lightweight glow body oil and a hand-swirled botanical cleansing bar.
Winter Solstice
Lavender • Spearmint
The longest, stillest night of the year, in a bar. Scented only with pure lavender and spearmint essential oils, Winter Solstice is calming and crisp all at once, my reminder to breathe in the middle of a busy season. Each cleansing bar is a little work of art: a snow-white bar with a glowing blue moon at its heart, made with silky ocean blue clay and a whisper of biodegradable shimmer.
Peppermint, Tea Tree + Charcoal
Peppermint • Tea Tree • Organic Activated Charcoal
Cool as fresh snow and bracing as a winter morning walk. This clarifying bar pairs organic activated charcoal with pure peppermint and tea tree essential oils for a deep, refreshing cleanse that still leaves skin soft.
Vanilla Honey + Oats
Goat's Milk • Local Raw Honey • Oats • Organic Vanilla Bean
Pure comfort. Our Vanilla Honey + Oats bar is made with creamy goat's milk, local raw honey, ground oatmeal and organic vanilla bean we infuse ourselves, with no added fragrance. It's the feeling of a slow, cozy morning, and our gentlest winter cleanse for the whole family.

Your Own Quiet Luxury
Every product in the Winter Reverie Collection is made with organic plant butters, nourishing botanical oils and our signature herbal infusion of calendula, chickweed and marshmallow root, because a holiday scent should do more than smell beautiful. It should leave your skin softer, too.
My hope is that these scents give you a few of those quiet, luxurious moments this season: a slow shower on a cold morning, a warm bath after the kids are asleep, a spritz of perfume before a candlelit dinner. These are limited holiday editions, and once they're gone, they're gone until next winter.
Thank you for letting us be part of your holidays. Making these for you and your families is the best part of our year.
With love,
Jeanette & the Herbs and Mylk family
