The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Skylar's December Scent Club release, arriving in 2025. The name says ski lodge. The scent says come inside. This is a fragrance built for the moment after, after the cold, after the rush, after you've finally thawed out enough to sit down. It's about that particular relief of warmth returning to cold hands, translated into something you wear rather than drink.
The peppermint-graham cracker pairing is the structural move worth noting. Mint here doesn't read as the usual crisp, clean note; instead it softens, becoming aromatic, the way peppermint can feel in perfumery when balanced against sweeter elements. Graham cracker adds confectionery sweetness that grounds the mint. Used together, the mint stops reading as refreshing and starts reading as aromatic. Marshmallow accord then amplifies the warmth without adding sugar. It's sweetness that remembers it grew up in a confection, not a flower garden.
The evolution
Opens mint-cool and immediate. That first stretch is almost a different fragrance, sharp, bright, green in a way that has nothing to do with the sweetness waiting underneath. Then the handoff happens. Strawberry arrives, soft and almost jammy against the graham cracker note. The sweetness builds without tipping over. By the time you reach the heart, it's all marshmallow and praline, creamy, warm, the scent of something you'd actually want to eat. The drydown is where it lives longest: cashmere wood and musk, intimate and close, the kind of warmth that doesn't announce itself. Projects moderately, you notice it, the room doesn't.
Cultural impact
Ski Bunny speaks to a broader shift toward ingredient transparency and skin-safe formulations in fragrance. Skylar's approach to wearable, skin-conscious scents reflects a growing expectation that luxury can coexist with cleaner chemistry. The fresh-gourmand category has gained traction, with mint-based sweets, vanilla-forward blends, and marshmallow accords appearing across both indie and designer lines. By anchoring the fragrance in cozy mahogany and winter afternoon imagery, Skylar positions scent as a portal to specific emotional experiences rather than a generic fragrance.
