Above the door of Milena's cabin hung old wooden skis with carved tips. Snowflakes and a sun were carved on them, and everyone who came into the rental asked about those skis first.

Milena ran a small rental at a forest ski lodge. By day she handed out skis and poles, fitted boots and showed beginners the easiest trail.

In January the frost held, and it grew dark early. When the last skiers had returned their gear, Milena closed the rental window and put Irish Cream on her wrists. [A warm creamy note with caramel softness], cream and cocoa sounded rich and tender, while apricot, peach, mango and coconut added a sunny sweetness.

She lit the fireplace, sat by the window and watched the snow fall. By then lily of the valley and jasmine, cinnamon and clove had opened on her skin, and the cabin became truly warm.

There was a knock at the door. On the threshold stood Dobrynya, a skier who had been on the far trail and was frozen.

"May I warm up? It smells as if someone is baking something creamy with cinnamon in here," Dobrynya said.

"Come in," Milena smiled and poured him hot tea. "It's always warm here."

Dobrynya warmed up, looked at the carved skis above the door and promised to come back tomorrow to rent a pair.

By night vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean, opoponax, patchouli and sandalwood remained on her skin, warm and resinous. Milena put out the lamp, and in the last glow of the fireplace snowflakes glittered on the carved tips of the skis.

How it sounds

The opening is creamy and rich: [a warm creamy note with caramel softness], cream and cocoa sound tender, while apricot, peach, mango and coconut add fruity sweetness.

In the heart lily of the valley and jasmine make the fragrance lighter, and cinnamon and clove add warm spice.

In the base vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean, opoponax, patchouli and sandalwood leave a warm, resinous and cosy trail.

What makes it special

Irish Cream belongs to the Olfactorium collection. The brand says it brings back memories of warmth, comfort and cosiness and carries a premonition of joyful moments. It is a quiet evening in a modest cabin where the air stands still and the scent gently wraps you in creamy warmth. It is warm, thick and viscous like apricot jam, wraps you in a soft shawl woven from memories, and then for a moment freezes into drops of fragrant resin in the rays of the setting sun. It is a unisex sweet fragrance for autumn and winter.

@medlennaya_zvezda on Instagram notes: "The fragrance is enveloping and warming, setting a relaxed mood."

People wear it for cosiness: on a frosty evening, by the fireplace with a book and on a day when snow is falling outside.
