Alexandra Kathryn Mosca — Exploring Life and Death: A Writer's Journey

My most recent article for the popular website Sixty and Me was about winter scents. I have several tried-and-true favorites. Still, my research opened a new world of winter fragrances. For purposes of the article, I needed to settle upon ten. But one that didn’t make the list intrigued me; you can read about it here.

Changing Constance is a part of British perfumer Penhaligon’s Portrait Collection. Adorned with a whimsical goat head, the enchanting bottle is not your average winter fragrance. According to Penhaligon’s website, Constance is designed for a “very modern woman” who shrugs off tradition and embraces her individuality.

The Perfect Winter Companion

The fragrance opens with a burst of intriguing spice, featuring cool cardamom that adds a crispness to the experience. As it settles, you’ll find the composition’s heart warming up with hot pimento and the cozy sweetness of salted caramel. Finally, the scent lingers with warm, comforting undertones, making it perfect for the chilly months.

The eau de parfum embodies a distinct and bold attitude year-round. Still, Changing Constance is particularly well-suited for the autumn and winter, especially around Christmas. In fact, one user described it as having a “particularly sweet, puddingly smell -rather like a spicy butterscotch.” Whether you’re heading to a holiday party — at which people will be curious about the intriguing scent once they catch a whiff– gathering with family, or enjoying a cozy night in, this fragrance is fitting. It easily adapts to different occasions.

A Thoughtful Gift

The bottle’s vibrant colors and the goat’s charm create a beautiful presentation. It makes a perfect gift for family, friends, or someone special. This is especially true for anyone who appreciates unique and luxurious scents. And– if you want to make an extra-special impression –the bottle can be customized

Changing Constance by Penhaligon’s is more than just a winter cologne; it celebrates individuality and the festive spirit. Its rich and inviting notes perfectly encapsulate what we love about the holiday season—warmth, joy, and a touch of whimsy.

As you explore winter fragrances this year, consider trying Changing Constance. This scent captures all the holiday cheer you could hope for. It is a perfect choice whether you’re treating yourself or searching for that ideal gift. Embrace the season, break the rules, and let your fragrance reflect your unique personality. Happy holidays!
