Cambridge University Botanic Gardens showcase diverse plant collections, offering a serene environment for education and research. It features seasonal displays, historical botanical illustrations, and immersive sensory experiences for all visitors.
Inspired by one of these gardens, ARTiSTORY's creative concept of the "Winter Garden" Fragrance Collection celebrates winter's botanical beauty through three unique scents: honeyed Snowdrop, fresh Pinus mugo, and spicy Wintersweet. Curated over 45 years, the garden invites visitors to experience the enchanting aromas of winter from December to April. The perfume packaging features artistic renditions of winter botanicals, including historical illustrations from the Fitzwilliam Museum. This collection highlights nature's resilience and aromatic splendor during the harshest season, offering a unique, immersive experience for fragrance enthusiasts and nature lovers.
