Snow & Ashes

Bracing winter air, snow clinging to branches, smoke from the wood stove carried on the bitter wind. Smoky, cold, green. I think of this as a complement to my Fireplace perfume- they're t wo versions of the same story. Fireplace is wintertime in my childhood home- smoke and heat from the wood stove, pomanders hung by the fireplace, the family gathering together, laughter and warmth. Snow & Ashes is going out into the cold to collect more firewood, your breath making little clouds in the air, the muffled silence of the falling snow, damp evergreen branches dipping overhead. Two perspectives of the same scene: indoor/outdoor, warm/cold, together/alone.
