Full Version: What Do You Haul Out Only For The Holidays?

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, the Holidays are literally just around the corner.

I don't know if there is anyone else on here who hauls out special fragrances to usher in the Holiday season or not, but I'm getting ready for my two.

I take them out IMMEDIATELY after Thanksgiving, usually the day after, and they get put away on January 1st, and one year, it went as late as January 2nd as I was traveling until then.

They get stored in the back of my armoire at that point, and are not taken out until the same time next year.

Mine are limited editions of 212... 212 Silver Limited Edition, and 212 WHITE.



The 212 Silver Limited Edition is the same juice as the original, but in some really cool packaging for the Holiday season. The 212 White is a softer version of the original, and is warmer. I'm getting anxious, actually, and the packaging of the Silver Limited Edition makes a great decoration for the season, too!



Does anyone else have a very special fragrance that they do this with only at the Holidays?

It's always been Nuit de Noël for obvious reasons... The scent seems to suit cold crisp nights, and feels particularly perfect when I'm wearing black fur. Not the case right now as the weather's too mild in Paris.

This is the only time of year I wear Coco -- I like to dab on a bit of the parfum when dressing for holiday parties. It's elegant, spicy and just perfectly suited to the season.

Nuit de Noel. It's so unique, I fall head-over-heals for it, but then I need a change after about a week. Happens every year!

Winter Delice smells like Christmas.

The original Secret of Venus by Weil. Perfect holiday fragrance.
roseattar
Winter Delice for me too.
Colonia
Some spicy pumpkin stuff from AZW and BBW, plus Winter Delice between Thanksgiving and the first week in January.
cazaubon
Vanilla Bean Noel lotion, and CdG Zagorsk, are my winter holiday scents. Sometimes Frapin 1270 too.
Liongirl
Another Nuit de Noel here! Also, LV Spezie, SMN Potpourri, & Agraria Bitter Orange--- these scream
'holiday' to me!

Nuit de Noël here too. I might wear it a few times during the rest of the year (never in summer though). Also one my YSL Feux de Santal candles. I only have one and a half of the small "refills" left. I can't find them anywhere and they smell so, so good.

Don't know whether I just double posted this or not - my finger slipped on our
new, minute p.c.!!
I also love Nuit de Noel just for Christmas, but tend to wear Cinnabar,Cristobal
or Feminite du Bois the rest of the holidays. I occasionally dig out Angel(whoops!)

Winter Delice, layered with various vanillas -- including Noel Vanilla Bean.

Chanel #5 has always reminded me of sugar cookies! In fact, I assume that is why men like it so much. So, it instantly reminds me of Christmas baking and sprinkled cookies in red and green. I think the edt is less floral than the pure parfum. I like the edt for winter, it must have some vanilla in there, but makes a great change from all the orientals.

These holiday choices sound so wonderful!
I got Brit Gold in theory for the winter holidays. Maybe the currants and vanilla.

Maybe Antica Farmastica Vaniglia and Mandarino.

SL Arabie and Estee Lauder: Youth Dew, Azuree, Aliage, Private Collection. I find EL just reminds me of family get togethers. Maybe it stems from those old Karen Graham stills.
