The Dark is Rising — Christmas Perfume Sample Set
"When the Dark comes rising six shall turn it back..." If you just got chills, Cat and I are right there with you. We tried for years to make this set work, but we could never get it quite right. It was only this year, upon learning it's a tradition to reread this series during the winter solstice, that I determined to finish it. Each scent is reminiscent of one of the six signs: "Wood, bronze, iron; Water, fire, stone..."
Published 10/25.
Each perfume sample comes in a 1 ml amber vial with a label and plastic stopper.
These perfumes are also available in the shop in full size 9 ML roll-on bottles.
This set includes:
***********************************
Silver Blossom™ Perfume Oil:
The Midsummer tree appears every 700 years and blooms a silver flower that gives someone the power to determine the fate of the Light and the Dark. It is the hope or doom of humanity. Inspired by the sign of wood.

***********************************
Sleepers Song™ Perfume Oil:
The harp of gold was used to wake the sleepers. Even the Old Ones need inspiration. Inspired by the sign of bronze.

Sword of the Sunrise™ Perfume Oil:
Bran cut the flower from the Midsummer tree with the crystal sword, saving the world from eternal subjugation of the Dark. Glows blue for evil. Inspired by the sign of iron.

***********************************
Fire on the Mountain™ Perfume Oil:
The dog who could see the wind, the boy who could control fire. Cafall makes the ultimate sacrifice so Will and Bran can find the harp of gold. Times like this are when we most need to remember the comfort and love of home. Inspired by the sign of fire.

***********************************
Kestrels Call™ Perfume Oil:
The clarity of kestrels. Is it weird they look like crows? Maybe it's the magic. Grounded, patient, waiting for the right moment, they don't engage if they can't win. Looked to for guidance in Celtic tradition. Inspired by the sign of stone.
Main notes of: white amber, patchouli, cedar, oakmoss, petrichor
