Blue Moon is live at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

[kebechet]

The Blue Moon will soon be high in the sky, and to celebrate we are presenting the second Blue Moon scent of the month. This one was created by Brian Constantine, and the emphasis is on the moon’s influences on the mysteries of the dreamscape.

 

 

BLUE MOON 2009: BRIAN'S CREATION

The spirit of the full moon is capricious, intense and passionate, yet still distant, aloof and cold. Luna herself governs glamours, bewitchments and dream-work, innocent wonder, transient pleasure and delight, the Moment, impulse, mystery and veils. The Blue Moon is one of her rarest manifestations, and this scent is formulated to encapsulate her most complex and profound nature:

 

Mugwort, for psychic sensitivity...

Yarrow, for divination through dreams...

Styrax and frankincense, for wisdom and noscere...

 

... with a potent lunar-charged, oneirongenic blend of tolu balsam, moonflower, white musk, delicate woods, star anise, Florentine iris, Clary sage, Roman chamomile, Greek cypress, juniper berry, night-blooming cereus, and a touch of cardamom. This fragrance has been infused with Neptune's pine and grains of paradise to help part veils and spark the imagination.

 

This year, we have two interpretations of Blue Moon. This is Brian’s Moon.

 

 

This scent is $17.50, and will be live until January 2, 2010.

 

 

The Anniversary and Yule blends will come down about a week after Lupercalia goes live. Dates TBA.

 

 

We hope that the blue moon will be a harbinger of amazing, wondrous things to come for all of you – and all of us! -- in this new year, and that 2010 is overflowing with joy, bursting with good fortune, punctuated by moments of true peace and tranquility… and that it contains just enough filthiness to make things interesting!

 

Happy New Year, everyone!
