DS & Durga Bergamot Superior Candle: Wild bergamot weeds sing citrus-speak in spring by the cool, cool water of Great Lake Superior. Top Notes: bee balm, bergamot. Heart Notes: lake water, birch leaf. Base Notes: cone flower, blue eyed grass.
"I was walking upstream in wellies in a brook somewhere up north. Cold water rushed from the lake downstream through the woods. I came across little island worlds in the brook—pristine, covered in plants fed by fresh water. Gnarled roots of trees intertwined with rocks and mosses to create a landscape like the those enticing commercials for action figures in the 80s (but I digress).
A stand of wild plants grew in spots where the sun broke through the canopy. I found wild bergamot—bee balm—the stuff called Oswego tea that the tea partiers (the OG ones not the current) drank in defiance of Britain’s tea. A member of the mint fam, bee balm smells of distant bergamots with a fuzzy green minty snap. You are in the cold north but smell distant Mediterranean citrus. Unexpected exotic beauty in the far North by Lake Superior." - D.S.
DS & Durga believes the power of scent is equal to that of sight and sound. A great perfume is a keyhole into another realm; an invisible landscape that you can enter and explore any time. Candles are made from soy-vegetable wax and use a cotton wick. Glasses candle vessels are meant to be reused and repurposed.
