CANDLES MOON 2010 (LE, Lunacy): (Company says: Moonlight shining on the Quickening Tree, the heat and wax of sacred candles, the milk of ewes, Brigid's blackberry, the sting of keening wind, and the last flutter of the Cailleach's winter snow.)

In bottle: They are not kidding about the blackberry. It is surprisingly sharp and fresh. I’m liking the way the milk is blending with the berries, ozone, and wax. It’s a rich fruity blend elevated by the candles and wind. Wet: The milk and snow are stronger on the skin. The blackberry/candle combination stays dominant, but the whole thing balances and warms as it wears. It definitely gives the effect of candles and snow, though I’m not sure how to explain that, the warm quality of the light and the chill of the snowscape really come through simultaneously. Dry: Fades rather fast. The blackberry/milk stays dominant on the way out.
