With an aroma as cool and fresh as the first snowfall of the season, peppermint is an ingredient that seems to beckon the coming of winter. Found in the iconic striped candy canes that serve as dessert and décor alike throughout the month of December, its flavor and fragrance have come to embody the spirit of the festive holiday season.

The holidays bring with them a great many things: good cheer, cold air, family gatherings, office parties, ugly sweaters and quite a few excuses to indulge in good food and drink. In the midst of all this merriment, we like to help bring a bit of ease and harmony into the seasonal gift exchange with our carefully curated holiday sets.  

If you've explored one of our shops recently, you may have seen some new products lining the shelves, joining the ranks of the other family-owned apothecary brands we've curated over the years. Those would be the Early Bird and Twilight toothpastes from Twice, a brand founded by two brothers on a mission. 

Vapor. It's the freshest form of scent, one that's reminiscent of cold air and the first touch of snow that hits New York. We created this line of unisex apothecary goods exclusively for fellow New York-based brand Kith, a streetwear label and store known for their limited edition capsule collections and high-profile collaborations.
