“No one has ever described snow in this way before –

As if all the world were a bite in its mouth.

Cotton seeds in the white boll, mountains hidden in its midst…

The intellect goes numb and rightly so

For how can the firebird fly from a nest of snow…” – Kamāl-al-Din Esmā’īl Esfahānī (12th century)

The warmth of the fireside, the delicate frozen beauty of falling, flying snowflakes and their cold cousins – ice flowers, frost and rime – are captured together and held captive in Sarah Horowitz Parfums new Banq de Parfum Snow Globe. A juxtaposition of the comfort of indoor heat and the cold fresh winter air is preserved and enshrined in bottles of perfume, creating a diorama in scent, an olfactory landscape of winter’s first snowfall.

“… I really wanted to create that feeling of the lushness, of being inside with a cozy fire but, at the same time, having crisp, white snowflakes falling on the outside of a window pane.” Sarah Horowitz-Thran via Sarah Horowitz Parfums Smell O Vision

With the new Banq de Parfum Snow Globe, Sarah Horowitz-Thran has realized a winter wonderland in an exquisite, ethereal, chilled amber fragrance. Even before the snow-stars begin floating down from the dark sky I can smell the chill in the air. Cool green top-notes of spearmint and piñon pine are carefully and judiciously employed to create impressions of a brisk, frosty breath. As the snow begins to swirl, the heart of Sarah Horowitz Parfums Snow Globe, rich with the heat of white and classic amber, is glazed with icy cool elements of evergreen and sweet mint. A delicate balance between warm amber and cold frost is maintained throughout the life of the fragrance, the snowflakes never quite melting against the windowpane. When I wake the next morning, the snow is still falling as oakmoss and amber continue to radiate their cozy glow.

In Snow Globe, Sarah Horowitz-Thran brings together and masterfully reconciles the elements of fire and ice. Polar opposites join to create a perfume that is at once mysterious and familiar, classical and contemporary, a fragrance I love now as the snow falls, and will, no doubt, relish as a cool reminder of winter’s chill in the inevitable heat of summer.

Notes: Spearmint, piñon pine, forest rain, amber blanc, classic amber and oakmoss.

Disclaimer: I would like to thank Sarah Horowitz Parfums for my cherished bottle of Snow Globe. My opinions are my own.
