Nick's Note:

"Originally, Christmas Wine and Gluhwein were similar perfumes. To make the batch of Gluhwein for the year, I would simply make 1.5 batches of Christmas wine, take the extra half batch of Christmas Wine and then add in the extra components that made it Gluhwein. Now these perfumes have diverged to the point of being quite different and do not share the same base, only having a few notes in common including our bespoke cranberry absolute. This year we extracted about 30 pounds of cranberry to make enough concrete to refine into the absolute for these batches.

The 2025 edition of Gluhwein features a higher (and financially irresponsible) amount of red champaca absolute and the finest grade cocoa absolute available, and the addition of a gorgeous storax resin from Liquidambar orientalis trees as well as Mysore sandalwood which gives an added smoothness and air to breathe through the composition.”

2026 Revision: lowered concentration of perfume and ratio of cranberry absolute due to the potential of the waxes to clog sprayers on our older bottles. Increased sandalwood and liquidamber.
