Part of the December 2024 Legacy Collection, Waking In Winter was originally released with the 2015 Winter collection, inspired by 20th century American poetry. It is a woody, cold, atmospheric fragrance with notes of fir needle, hemlock, soft snow, pale woods, delicate mint, frost-blanketed leaves, cold metal and distant hearth smoke. Waking in Winter is a parfum.
Sixteen92 produces small-batch fine fragrance inspired by history, literature, lore and magic.
Indie Scent Library: It’s this cuddly, delicate, endlessly soft fuzzy mint scent with evergreen needles, still snow-blanketed woods and leaves, beautiful tendrils of inoffensive smoke just barely lacing underneath, and an overall cold sensation with an ozonic silvery touch from the metal. How this scent manages to capture the coldness of a snowy winter is just so fascinating to me.
Indie Scent Library: This is the colder cousin of one of my faves, Arcana This is Not Canada. It captures the feel of a chilly walk amongst the evergreens!
Indie Scent Library: Oh, this fragrance. (sigh) I love this. It’s a very moody, atmospheric scent. I feel utterly alone in a cozy cabin during a snowstorm in the middle of the woods when I wear it. I get slightly creepy/forlorn vibes when I wear it, but it’s beautiful.
