[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I like the idea of wellbeing fragrances – they imply a certain gentleness and balance that perhaps your average fragrance won’t have. It’s not just the concept of smelling lovely, it’s more about combing smelling beautiful with paying attention to yourself.
Warmth is a gently spiced aroma with cardamom, cinnamon, cedar wood and sandalwood and not something I’d generally pick out for myself. However, it’s designed to feel comforting – to be applied at a time where you need to feel nurtured and soothed. It’s perhaps something I’d wear after yoga or on days where I feel stressed from the get go – I have repeatedly gone back to sniff my arm to try and calculate whether it has any noticeable effect over and above just smelling rather pleasant and I’d have to say in the immediate term the answer is no. However, context is all and I think Warmth is something I’d like to have about my person for quieter times.
I like the groundingness of it and the longevity – it lasted well beyond my expectations. There’s something a little bit masculine about it to my nose which is used to associating woods with men’s grooming products but there is some sweetness there too. 50ml is £10 HERE which feels like an affordable treat especially in the fragrance zone.

Warmth went viral as a dupe for another (very expensive fragrance) and until very recently I hadn’t been able to sample it as it was out of stock. I did really enjoy it – I do like the more masculine slightly spicy woody fragrances – and came very close to buying it until I realised that in just the time I’d wandered around shopping it had all but disappeared from my skin.
It’s weird isn’t it – I find the longevity impressive but everyone is different – there are some fragrances that literally disappear on me and others are fine.
This is my favourite perfume to use before bed. I like to shower with the Ritual of Jing sleep products then spray this on before bed. It always makes me feel a bit calmer and ready to settle down after a hectic day.
I can see it being absolutely perfect for an evening wind down 🙂
