The White Company's 'Mistletoe' is the new scent of Christmas – and it's already a best-seller
The new fragrance is surprisingly fresh for a seasonal scent – the perfect alternative to spiced aromas
Earlier this month, I visited The White Company headquarters to experience the new Mistletoe collection, which I can confirm smells absolutely divine.
While 'Winter' will always be the brand's resounding bestseller, with its unmistakably warm, festive blend of spices, this new Mistletoe fragrance is set to be the scent of Christmas this year. It's an uplifting rival to 'Winter,' offering a festive fragrance for those who find the heady spices of many Christmas candles and winter home sprays too overpowering.
Mistletoe is a recognisable winter aroma, inspired by the freshness of a frosty winter morning, with delicate top notes of vetiver, fresh middle notes of bergamot and warm base notes of cedar. The fragrance smells surprisingly fresh and yet comforting and cocooning too.
The new Mistletoe collection is available in scented candles, fragrance oils, room sprays and diffusers, letting you choose how to scent-scape every room with ease.
This sweet set is the ideal way to experience the new Mistletoe collection in every room of your home. The affordable trio comes complete with a Votive Candle, Mini Diffuser and Mini Home Spray. Alternatively, because it comes in a beautiful gift box, it would make a lovely pampering present for a loved one this Christmas.
New launch: Mistletoe Collection
Unlike the distinctly sharp and green Fir Tree scent, this new Mistletoe fragrance is more invigorating and fresh, blended to 'capture the freshness of a winter morning'.
Mistletoe is still part of the 'woody' scent family, but it combines the lush fragrance of vetiver grass, which lends lightness, brightness, and crispness. This earthy top note balances the gentle citrus lift of bergamot with warm base notes of cedarwood.
The signature scented candles are a firm fan favourite, thanks to expertly blended fragranced oils of 100% wax and a 40-hour burn time. A scented candle is the ideal addition for a living room, inviting scent and ambient flickering candlelight to make a home feel cosier.
Diffusers are the best way to subtly scent a room all day, without leaving a candle unattended. Made with high-quality oils, the 150ml measure lasts for approximately 3 months. A beautifully fragrant diffuser is an ideal way to make a hallway feel welcoming.
A spray is the ideal solution for any room. It's the saviour to have on standby when a quick spritz of pleasing fragrance is needed. From bathrooms and bedrooms to the side of a kitchen, a home spray is handy for every room in the house.
What I loved most about the Mistletoe scent was how light it feels; it instantly triggers memories of walking through the countryside on a cold, crisp winter morning.
It's a refreshing way to enjoy seasonal fragrances, rather than relying solely on classic spiced Christmas scents like the Winter collection. The Mistletoe collection is the perfect blend for a busy festive household where heady cinnamon spice and cloves feel too heavy and overpowering with everything else going on.
It was launched earlier this month, but already has a five-star rating on The White Company website. As predicted, many reviews note how it's 'not too Christmassy', so it will still feel relevant well into the new year.
I will definitely be filling my home with this irresistible fragrance this year. I won't completely abandon my Winter scented candle, of course, but I'll be mixing it up by welcoming the new Mistletoe scent for daytime when I want an invigorating festive scent, then switching to a cosy, cocooning aroma like Winter after dark.
