There's nothing seasonal in the formula itself — it's simply the mood the fragrance was designed around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it smell the same as the Holiday candle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey share the same cookies-forward gourmand direction, so wearing the mist alongside the candle gives you a consistent scent across your skin and your room, though each format naturally reads a little differently. Wearing the mist while a candle from the same family burns is a simple way to layer the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this mist dry out my hair over repeated use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's alcohol-free, which is the ingredient most associated with dryness from repeated spritzing, so it's a gentler option than an alcohol-based body spray for misting through your hair. It's still best kept off the scalp and used in moderation, as with any fragrance product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe on coloured or chemically treated hair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alcohol-free formula is generally gentler on coloured or treated hair than alcohol-based sprays, though we haven't tested it against every colour or treatment. Patch test on a small section first if your hair is freshly coloured or particularly sensitised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I reapply through the day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a lightweight mist rather than a concentrated perfume, it sits close to the skin and fades faster than an eau de parfum, so reapply whenever you stop noticing it — often a few times over the course of a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat scent family is Holiday, and what pairs with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoliday sits in our Gourmand family alongside notes like vanilla and cookies.
