The Festival of Lights! On the evening of the twelfth full moon of the Dai calendar, small lotus-shaped offering boats are released out to the rivers and canals of Thailand, carrying prayers and wishes out into the waters. It is a preparation for renewal, and a time for releasing and banishing the darker parts of ourselves.

 

Banana leaves, betel nuts, coconut bark, spider lilies, candle wax, and incense.

Batty is coming to Dark Delicacies!

++ DARK DELICACIES

 

 

BATTY

This year’s Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Halloween scent for Dark Delicacies! Dark and fuzzy, yet also dapper and debonair! If Fred Astaire was a werebat, he’d totally smell like this: dark chocolate, black oudh, tonka absolute, cassia, white oleander, sandalwood, and free-tailed bat musk. Artwork by Manda Lander!

 

Batty will be available on the Dark Delicacies site. If you purchase Batty at Dark Del’s brick and mortar shop in-person, you will receive a free aristobat holiday ornament while supplies last!

 

 

 

Halloween: Montreal is available at Pretty Indulgent!

HALLOWEEN: MONTREAL

When Halloween comes to Montreal, winter doesn’t lag far behind. Trick–or–treating is done in mad, giddy dashes between houses, an exhilarated rush in the darkness. The air is crisp, sometimes biting, and more than one toddler waddles through the eve, bundled in a snowsuit beneath their inevitably rotund costumes. Chimney smoke and woodstove fires, and all the classic scents of Halloween – loads of candy, leaves, cold earth, smashed pumpkins left over from Mat Night’s debauchery – are sharp and clear in the frosty air.

– Maggie Stepien

 

La fumée de cheminée et toutes les odeurs de l’Halloween – bonbons en masse, feuilles mortes, terre gelée, citrouilles écrasées – parfument l’air glacial.
