Inspired by Dickens on the Strand - A celebration of Galveston’s victorian history, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allen Poe, and…pirates…for some reason. Specifically a night when I was celebrating at an after-hours event in full gibson girl getup and got to have an extended conversation with a very merry and very in-character Charles Dickens.
Notes: Hot mulled red wine, flavored with cranberries, warm spices, and orange zest; layered over a traditional chypre perfume base, pipe tobacco, and woods.

This is the very specific smell of red wine being heated. It is as if the air is full of tannins and then the spices, oranges, and cranberries are added. This sweetens the scent but there is still a lingering tartness to balance it out. It makes me believe that I am at a cozy house party in the middle of winter drinking a mug of dark mulled wine with a slice of orange floating on top. Its cold outside but I'm wearing a soft sweater dress chatting with friends while standing in front of a crackling fireplace.
This fragrance's projection is as cozy as the scent, it sticks close to the skin and only light whiffs of orange lift off the skin. This also lasted about 5 hours on my skin. A great unique cozy fragrance for autumn and winter.
This is one of my favorites from Cirrus and truly the perfect winter fruit fragrance. I love the way the citrus and mulled wine notes play off each other! The chypre base brings a beautiful grounding finish to this scent with gorgeous spices. 10/10 - you gotta give this a try!
I loved the name of this perfume, and the notes really excited me—the orange and mulled wine and cranberry sounded right up my alley! I was blown away by the performance and complexity of this scent. It is beautiful, warm, and I could pick up each note throughout wear. This is also how the perfume I’ve received the most compliments on! An all-time favorite for me ❤️
This is a great option for the holidays. The citrus and cranberry come through perfectly, warmed by seasonal spices. Definitely going to be spraying this one for Christmas gatherings with friends and family.
A juicy holiday fruit basket blanketed on a chypre style. Absolutely evoques Christmas. Wonderfully smooth and the fruitiness is not sharp or screechy at all. The citrus really helps balance this and keeps it from leaning too rich. Amazing work
