Nutcracker Moodboards

A collection of all my Nutcracker moodboards for Christmas!

Bath and Body Works Moodboards // Under the Christmas Tree

Reminisce the days of poking around under the tree on Christmas Eve — sweet, woodsy and oh-so-nostalgic with notes of fir balsam, juniper berries, vanilla eggnog, and sage leaves.

Aesthetic Moodboards // “White Winter Hymnal” by Fleet Foxes

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats, with scarves of red tied 'round their throats to keep their little heads from falling in the snow.

Bath and Body Works Moodboards // Holiday

Experience the warm, spiced essence of Christmas with notes of red cinnamon stick, Christmas clove buds, and ground nutmeg.
