Sugar, frost, and a wink: my take on DSH Perfumes Snow Angels Holiday no. 25

If holiday perfumes usually make you roll your eyes, prepare to be disarmed. Snow Angels Holiday no. 25 from DSH Perfumes is the rare seasonal scent that flirts with sugar without face-planting into a cookie jar. It opens like a breath of cold air after the first snowfall - bright, clean, a little fizzy - then drifts straight into the comforting hum of a warm kitchen. Think mittens drying on the radiator while powdered sugar floats in the sunlight. I half expected a halo of frost to form around my scarf.

I’m fussy about gourmands. Too syrupy and I tap out. This one reads like a sweetheart with good posture. The sweetness feels airy and crystalline rather than syrup-heavy, cushioned by soft musks and a subtle, skin-hugging warmth that whispers rather than shouts. There’s a nostalgic pull here that suggests childhood winters without smelling like a theme park. It’s cozy, but not costume-y.

Who will love this:

• Gourmand enthusiasts who prefer veil over varnish.
• Winter-fragrance hunters craving a snow-globe sparkle with human skin underneath.
• Anyone who wants a holiday scent that can sneak into January and not feel awkward.

Who might pass:

• Minimalists who want their perfume to disappear into cashmere.
• Spice addicts looking for the loud jingle-bell kind of festive.

On a quick wear test, Snow Angels Holiday no. 25 sat close for hours with a soft, edible hum that never turned cloying. It layers beautifully with clean musks or a quiet woody base if you want more structure. One spritz reads brushed-frost; two give you that just-baked glow. Office-safe, date-night friendly, and absolutely made for knitwear.

This is DSH Perfumes doing what they do best: mood-driven perfumery with tactile texture. No gimmicks, no sugar crash, just that private thrill of walking in from the cold to something warm and a little wicked. Call it a holiday romance you can actually bring home.
