We were invited to take part in the very first Willow & Wolf Christmas Shop at The Barn, held at Chalk Barn in Rushall, Wiltshire  and it was every bit as festive as it sounds.

Set across three days in early December, the event brought together fizz, canapés, thoughtful gifting and a beautifully curated mix of brands, all in a setting that felt made for a Christmas Hallmark movie. We joined on the second day, surrounded by garlands, twinkling lights and that unmistakable pre-Christmas buzz.

John was on hand introducing the 1981 collection, helping guests discover fragrances, talk through gifting ideas, and in a rare but memorable moment, serenading the room with “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas.” (ever the wallflower!!)

Events like this are always a reminder of how enjoyable fragrance can be when it’s experienced properly: in person, in good company, and without rushing. Chalk Barn was the perfect backdrop  warm, welcoming and full of festive energy.

A huge thank you to Willow & Wolf for inviting us to be part of such a joyful event, and to everyone who stopped by to sniff, chat and celebrate the season with us.
