Dark Moon (Holiday No.16)
Fragrance notes
Character
The library hearth glows against a chilly evening, and the air carries a blend of cacao pod, red wine, and cassis mixed with Bulgarian rose and jasmine. Nutmeg, black pepper, and bergamot add a bright edge to the honey and beeswax that rest against the orris and amber. Myrrh and incense rise with the labdanum, while oak, sandalwood, cedar, and oakmoss ground the scent so it remains near the body as the room settles. The cacao and wine feel rich without becoming heavy, and the spices keep the sweetness balanced as the beeswax and honey soften the sharper woods. The cognac adds a warm touch that stays close to the skin while the florals drift through the heavier base.
The smoke from the fireplace mingles with the incense and myrrh as the labdanum, amber, and balsamic notes take hold. Oakmoss and cedar anchor the blend while the sandalwood and beeswax create a smooth texture that clings to a wool coat. The cassis and rose fade into the background, leaving the cacao pod and honey to mingle with the nutmeg and pepper. The orris adds a powdery veil that sits gently on the air near the wearer as the red wine and cognac recede. Bergamot and jasmine appear only in brief flashes before the woods and resins dominate the space. The fragrance rests in the space around you as the fire crackles, leaving a warm, honeyed amber on the air.
