The Flower of Winter If, by the end of winter, you are tired of gourmand, ambery, and all kinds of heavy winter fragrances, and already crave something floral—but are still waiting for spring—I have good news for you. Flowers bloom in winter too. Right under the snow, in cold climates. More precisely, there is one flower: the camellia . At the end of winter, I always feel the urge to wrap myself in the delicate scent of this beautiful flower, because this is exactly its time.
