Winter sun, ORTIR Apothecari

WINTERWELL

Change is afoot.

Isn’t it just.

Every aspect of life here at independent perfume house ORTIR Apothecari seems to be a moving part and every year as clocks fall back I am caught out by a swift swing into winter months.

Colder. Darker. Easier to trip.

As a fragrance brand that explores the potential effects of botanicals, I am hugely invested in how naturals influence our mood and memory.

And as we roll into another month our focus creeps towards wellness, staving off incoming chill.

It was at this time of year that I composed HIRAETH. At its heart I planted a heavy dose of rose and frankincense oil to instil calm, fend off creeping negativity.

For within the beauty and isolation of this very special landscape I call home, whilst you enjoy immeasurable solitude, you don’t want to veer towards loneliness.

Sometimes we need a pick-me-up.

Hot baths, woollen blankets, comforting food and a beautiful fragrance.

The power of naturals helping you winter well.
