The Quiet Between Seasons

There is a moment between fall and winter that often goes unnoticed. The pumpkins have disappeared, the garland is still tucked away, and the air carries a kind of pause. The days grow shorter while the evenings stretch wider. The light cools, and everything seems to ask for stillness before the next beginning.

At Betty Blu, this is our favorite kind of quiet. It is the in-between space where we slow down on purpose. We put the kettle on, light something gentle, and let the calm settle in. The house feels different when it is only the sound of a match, a flame, and the soft glow that follows.

This is when we reach for First Frost. It captures that first breath of winter air—the moment when everything feels fresh and new again. Frosted mint brings clarity, snow-covered birch adds a touch of brightness, and creamy sandalwood grounds it all with warmth. The scent is both cool and comforting, like a walk through the woods after the first snowfall.

It is not quite the holidays yet, but it is the season of quiet care. Of folding blankets. Clearing space. Letting light spill into the early dark.

The quiet between seasons is never empty. It is full of small things waiting to be noticed.
