Midsummer Rite

A long summer. Fig, salt, warm air.

Fig · neroli · sea salt.

Commission this fragrance

Made to order in seven to ten days. Not stocked — remembered.

Midsummer Rite is the summer candle. Fig and neroli open it; salted air keeps it from going sweet; driftwood holds the room. We pour it from October through February — the months when light lasts longer than it has any right to.
