The Scents of Christmas: welcome to our Perfume Atelier and discover the magic of the holidays.
In our perfume studio we keep over 500 perfume ingredients, precious treasures that are carefully stored in climate-controlled cabinets. Each bottle hides a unique, invisible story, ready to be told. Even on a scorching hot summer day, some ingredients can transport us straight to a cozy Christmas table with a crackling fireplace. From fresh citrus scents and spicy notes to the warm power of woody aromas.
Welcome to our Perfume Atelier on a cozy winter evening
The scent of cinnamon is perhaps one of the most iconic Christmas scents. This warm, spicy note immediately evokes a sense of coziness and warmth. In Formula 56 , one of our special Oriental formulas, we use cinnamon to build the scent and capture the warmth of winter. Together with clove, which adds depth and complexity, we create a scent that makes you forget it’s cold outside.
The magic of orange essence, memories of the Christmas table
Another Christmas icon is orange essence, extracted from the peel of the fruit. This scent is reminiscent of the cozy Christmas table, with its fresh citrus aroma that perfectly matches the cold winter air. Combined with other spices and woody elements, orange brings a light, refreshing touch that emphasizes the whole festive atmosphere.
The unmistakable scent of pine needles and spruce
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the scent of pine needles and spruce. This fresh, woody scent takes you straight to a snow-covered forest, where nature is preparing for winter. In Formula 83, our annual Limited Edition Christmas Formula, balsam fir plays a starring role together with cedarwood and orange. The result? A scent that connects you to nature and the magic of the holidays.
Vanilla, the scent of Christmas pastries and comfort
Vanilla is a scent that immediately brings to mind Christmas pastries and the warm aromas of grandma's Christmas pudding. It is the scent of comfort, luxury and coziness. In our perfume studio we use vanilla absolute, a rich and deep extraction that provides a long-lasting, soft scent that envelops the holidays in love and warmth.
White Musk, the scent of family and hugs
Finally, white musk is the scent that connects Christmas with family and warm moments. It brings the feeling of a sincere hug, an invisible warm blanket that envelops you. Did you know that Maison MIGLOT Ghent has a secret message that refers to our 'Hug Formula'? This special formula, consisting of bergamot, galaxolide and iso-e-super, is the perfect accord for a Christmas hug from your loved one or a lovingly knitted wool sweater from your grandma.
The Scent of Christmas, Memories and Emotions
The scent of Christmas is perhaps just as important as the festive decorations and the sound of carols. As a perfumer, I am well aware of how scent can evoke memories and emotions. There are certain classic scents that instantly transport you to the magical atmosphere of Christmas.
