This exploration of our new Fall/Holiday 2022 fragrance collection takes a close look at the trends and stories that sparked their creation.

One of the things that makes working with fragrance so exciting and special is the way a single scent can be so many different things to different people. We hope the ideas and stories behind each fragrance inspire you to curate your own unique experience.

First, let’s dive into the trend report.

Now that we’re familiar with the trends that inspired this collection, let’s take a closer look at the fragrances themselves...

Trend captured: Persistence of Memory

Picture it: It’s a chilly night in late fall and you’re sitting around a crackling fire with friends, impaling marshmallows on skewers, attempting to get juuust the right amount of char. 

Campfire Marshmallow takes you right back to that favorite childhood memory. It’s a gorgeous balance of gooey toasted marshmallow, crisp winter air, and smoke.

Branding Ideas

Have fun with this scent! We love the boldness of this label design–it would be a modern, eye-catching choice for an entire line, and you could even swap out the icon according to the scent for a cool detail. 

For some other name ideas, try Roasted Marshmallow, Toasted Marshmallow, Vanilla Fireside, or even something more thematic like Ghost Story (fun for Halloween!).

Citrus scents can be difficult to get right, and given the significance of the persimmon to many cultures, we knew it couldn’t just be “right.” It had to be stellar. In China, persimmons are given as a symbol of good luck during the New Year. In Korea, and as part of Buddhism, persimmons represent transformation. In Western traditions, an orange was a luxurious, sought-after Christmas gift and remains a common stocking stuffer to this day.

Branding Ideas:

We’re seeing this label style everywhere! Shorter wraparound labels are great for pairing with luxe and stand-out candle containers since they don’t take up so much space that the beauty of the jar is hidden. We selected our Gold Tumbler Jar for this scent–not only is it a newer addition to our lineup, it’s perfect for a special holiday collection. A Silver version is also available, and could also be very festive to include. 

If you’d like to switch up the name, we suggest Ripe Persimmon, Persimmon and Tangerine, or Stocking Stuffer.

A classic scent, Red Berry Balsam offers something comfortingly familiar when the days are short and the sun is scarce. Fresh, woody pine scents always have a place in any winter collection, and this is a great choice if you’re looking for a pine with some extra oomph.

Branding ideas

Lean on the familiar and the happy nostalgia of this fragrance. If you’re thinking about some alternative names, stick with something descriptive like Holly Berry Balsam, Black Berry Balsam or opt for more “experiential” names like Winter Woods or Holiday Special. 

For colors, rich reds and greens are obvious but very apt choices.

A fresh and versatile fragrance, Orchard Pear is a cheerful accompaniment to any space. Fall and winter scents are typically pretty identifiably fall and winter–think pumpkins, pines, warm spices, etc–and often don’t transition well as the season changes. Pear scents, however, work very well as multiseason or transitional fragrances. Orchard Pear is authentic, crisp, and juicy–perfect for both the fall/winter seasons and as a year-round offering.

Branding ideas:

If “Farm to Fragrance” is a trend you’re already vibing with, we recommend keeping the name as-is, or opting for a similar name like Anjou Pear or Ripe Pear. 

When we were thinking about designs for Orchard Pear, we initially thought about a more rustic-leaning look. But we said this is a versatile scent, right? So instead, we went with a modern, more minimalist design and chose our Green Matte Tumbler with its fancy gold electroplated interior. Pear-fect!

There’s nothing quite like the experience of walking through the winds on a crisp winter day, leaving footprints behind on the pristine canvas of newfallen snow. Woodland Snow captures that experience in an ozonic, coniferous fragrance oil. 

You can never go wrong with a chilly, woodsy scent in the winter–Woodland Snow is the perfect choice for lending an elegant charm to seasonal collections.

Branding ideas:

We designed this label to reflect the sprinkle of magic that makes Woodland Snow so special. Kind of makes you think you’re smelling the fragrance before you even light the candle! 

For alternate name ideas, we like keeping it more on the conceptual side since it’s such a nostalgic scent. It’s a great opportunity to connect with your customers by evoking some of their own memories. Think Winter Cabin, Moonlit Snow, First Snow, or Midwinter Night.

Black cardamom is having a moment–you’re likely to spot it as a note in fine fragrance or as an ingredient in food and upscale beverages. 

While green cardamom has a sweet-leaning aroma, black cardamom has a touch of smoky pleasantness. Both are widely used in Indian cuisine and are essential to many different dishes. 

Branding ideas:

We love the elegant simplicity of this label–the design is pleasing and not distracting, lending itself to nearly any style of home decor. 

If you’re thinking about other name ideas, try Chestnut and Cardamom or Cardamom Latte. It would also be a great scent to start with for a Chai Tea Latte blend. (We suggest Cinnamon Chai!)

This holiday season standby has a place in many of our memories–this uniquely delicious drink isn’t just tasty, it has a little kick to it! (Anyone else ever accidentally drink the “adult” eggnog as a kid?) 

This is a fragrance we’ve had on our wish list for awhile, and we think you’ll love how the creaminess of Vanilla Eggnog is balanced with the pops of rum, amaretto, and spice.

Branding ideas:

Isn’t this a fun label design? Modern, yet whimsical. We can see a whole seasonal collection in this style, with different complementary colors for each scent! 

For other name ideas, you can keep it straightforward with something like Spiked Eggnog, or even get a little cheeky with, say, Holiday Season Coping Mechanism.
