Winter Air, Fresh Cedar, Cardamom & a Hint of Bourbon
An Isolated Resort Hotel
All work and no play makes for a haunting scent.
Inspired by a certain snowbound resort hotel, The Overlook captures the unsettling stillness of isolation with a crisp blend of winter air, fresh cedar, warm cardamom, and a whisper of bourbon. It’s equal parts inviting and ominous—like luxury with something lurking just beneath.
