An Ode to Tahoe: Fresh Air + Cedar
Winter is in full swing which also puts us right in the middle of candle season. At Le Gaol, we’re big proponents of creating both cozy and inviting atmospheres through the art of aroma. From adorning our foyer with a softer fragrance such as White Tea + Saffron to welcome guests upon arrival, to keeping it bright in the office with Moonshine + Marmalade to awaken the senses while working, there is one candle that stands out the most for us during the winter: Fresh Air + Cedar. We recently along with several other candle companies had an opportunity to collaborate with Redfin on their recent blog post 17 Enchanting Winter Scents to Embrace the Season, sharing why this is one of our go-to winter aromas.
Home sweet home
In Redfin’s blog post, Bretton shares the nostalgia that his favorite winter aroma provides. Being born and raised in Tahoe, he was fortunate to have the snow-capped Sierras, the deep-blue lake waters, and beautiful scenery the region is known for as his norm. Fast forward to present day life in the Bay Area, he’s since traded mountainside forest landscapes for Silicon Valley views, but all of his childhood core memories remain with him. Fortunately enough there are only a few hours that separate us from the slopes, but during the winter season especially, the distance can feel exponentially greater given the stark seasonal differences across each region.
With snow-covered trails just outside his doorstep along with historic views just a quick drive away at resorts like Palisades Tahoe, it becomes easy to see why these memories would become permanently ingrained into one’s senses. But when we’re not able to make it up to Lake Tahoe, Bretton feels right at home with a Fresh Air + Cedar candle, beautifully embodying his winter childhood memories. The combination of fresh air and cedar create an invigorating winter scent, blending the purity of crisp, chilly air with the warm, woody notes of cedar that immediately transports him back home.
