When the leaves turn their brilliant shades of gold and red, fall has cast its hypnotic spell. But the naturally fresh, woody smell of leaves in the brisk autumn air, almost effervescent, has a more lasting, more memorable effect on us. This vibrant medley of birch and maple leaves, with pomegranate, juniper berry, and orange blossom added to the blend, brings the glory of fall joyfully to every room in your home.
