Snow, Flour, and Quiet Joys: First Look at DSH Perfumes Snow Angels Holiday No. 25

I don’t believe in perfect holidays, but I do believe in perfect moments. DSH Perfumes gives one to the nose with Snow Angels Holiday No. 25 for 2025. It is winter captured without the postcard filter. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz sketches the hush of a field and the hum of a kitchen, and she lets them coexist on skin.

My first impression is the temperature shift. There’s a crystalline lift that feels like stepping outside after the first real snowfall, that energized gasp. On me it opens airy and bright, almost ozonic, with a powdered shimmer that suggests fresh, undisturbed snow. Then the scene pivots. Warmth curls up from beneath like you’ve tracked the cold indoors and someone set a mug in your hands. I get a soft dusting of spice, more pantry than patisserie, plus a milk-white glow that reads as comfort rather than dessert.

This is not a sugar bomb. It’s a balancing act. The cool facets keep the sweetness honest, while a gentle woodiness grounds the whole thing so it doesn’t float away. Wear time on my skin is a steady half day with an intimate sillage. It sits close, which feels right, like a wool sweater you actually want to wear.

If you love the meditative snow note genre but need it tethered to human warmth, Snow Angels Holiday No. 25 hits the mark. It scratches the itch for a seasonal scent without veering into candle territory. Office safe, fireplace friendly, and perfect for that liminal week when the year is winding down but your senses are wide awake.

A quick nod to Small Mercies too. The name alone reads like a pocket of tenderness for the wrist, and it pairs emotionally with Snow Angels. Different mood, same human scale.

In an indie landscape that often shouts, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz whispers and you lean in. Snow Angels Holiday No. 25 is winter with a pulse, and it made me want to lace up my boots, then come home and bake something simple. That is the point. And it works.
