Smooth peppermint, cracking birch, nutmeg, biting winter wind, cold vanilla, and black pepper.

 This minty atmospheric fragrance evokes a frozen birch grove. The dichotomy of the chilly vanilla and peppermint against the warm nutmeg and black pepper adds an unexpected bite to the fragrance. Wood notes ground the sweeter aspects of the vanilla and the brightness of the peppermint.  

 

Morozko is the god of winter and portrayed as either wicked or benevolent, depending on the fairy tale. His early mythical roots are in Slavic paganism, where he evolved from the dark god of winter and death, Chernobog. Over several centuries, this darker origin was nearly forgotten, and Morozko became the altruistic figure in the tales known today.

Death and winter were intrinsically linked in ancient times, but this tale shows that within the darkest winters warmth could still be found. 

The fairy tale begins with the story of a young girl who is tormented by her stepmother. She is forced to work her fingers to the bone while her stepmother's daughter is lavished with comforts, and her father ignores the daily injustice she endures. One cold winter’s night, her stepmother pushes the girl out into the cold and tells her she must spend the night in the forest. The girl has no choice but to take refuge under a tree in the middle of a birch grove. As the night was at its darkest, she heard the birch trees cracking as everything began to freeze. Skipping among the trees, Morozko found the girl huddled in the snow, and said, “How do you do, fairy maiden? Why have you come to my grove on such a severely cold night?” 

The girl replied that she had been sent out to gather wood for a fire, but he knew that she had been sent to her death. Morozko then asked her if she was cold, to which she bravely said no, and maintained that she did not need anything, even as he caused a fierce snowstorm in the birch grove. 

As quickly as he had caused it, he halted the storm and gave the girl a warm fur to wrap around herself and as many jewels as she could carry. The girl returned to her home with the riches, and her family was forced to acknowledge that she had been brave and resourceful enough to not only survive the harsh winter night, but to be rewarded by Morozko. 

The stepmother decided to send her own daughter out the following night, bragging that she too would return the next morning with twice the amount of jewels. But when she encountered Morozko, the girl was rude to him and demanded that he simply give the jewels to her. When she did not return the next morning, they set out to search for her and found her frozen in the birch grove.

Finally!

I have been sesrching for the perfect sent for me for years now and no perfume or body oil was doing the trick... I tried Morozco and other fragrances in small sample and I am now ordering the full size one.
If I could bathe in this smell, I would.
Living my full Anastasia fantasy ❤

Beautiful

I love this scent SO MUCH.
It is masterfully crafted, all the components blend together beautifully. I love the notes of birch and pepper especially!
When I first received my sample, I could only smell peppermint and some vanilla, but over the past month, the scent has evolved into its true, complex beauty. I’ve ordered a rollerball of this!
I will say that this one has sort of a short longevity, but I will keep applying as necessary because it’s worth it! Absolutely gorgeous. Exquisite for a cold winter’s day!

Peppermint bark

I got the sample pack with this scent in it.

First impression is I immediately love it upon first application. It smells like a spicy peppermint bark or peppermint tea with eggnog.

Dry down is unique as it smelled like chai tea, the coldness of the peppermint died down and you are left with the spiciness and vanilla.

This is most definitely a winter perfume, and it's quite cozy too. Would recommend this one to someone who love Christmas or yule.

This is perhaps one of my favorite scents, and I'll be buying a full size soon hopefully.

I wish I wasn't allergic!

I had a sample-size rollerball of this a while back that I received in a swap. I loved the creme de menthe opening (I'm still looking for my holy grail mint scent) that went into the spicy (nutmeg & pepper) vanilla. Unfortunately, my skin didn't love this back and I developed hives where I tested this! There was only one other perfume in the past that did this to me, and both of these perfumes share an ingredient: birch. An allergy test long ago told me that I am allergic to birch trees, but I always interpreted that to be a respiratory thing. It turns out I have a skin sensitivity to birch as well. So... people with skin sensitivities (such as birch, or nutmeg) might want to tread lightly here. Otherwise, I can't recommend the actual scent enough.

In a cruel twist, I took the site's quiz to pair you with a fragrance; and Morozko was my answer. :-(
