NORTHERN LIGHTS

I poured candles today, and used this fragrance. It’s very ozonic and clean and smells like when it’s dark outside and also reminds me of how it smells in the movie theater. It also smelled like the ride space mountain. It’s an unusual scent, but very likable. A neat addition to winter candles!

My first impression of Northern Lights is excellent! Straight from the bottle, this is a very pleasant and appealing fragrance. I’m looking forward to testing it in wax melts and candles. Black Tie Barn has another promising fragrance with this one!

Northern Lights is one of those fragrances where I keep finding something new the longer I smell it. The opening cool air and shimmering citrus immediately give me that crisp, wintry feeling, but the citrus comes across more like a little bit of zest than anything fruity. I really like that because there is plenty going on underneath it. I get the snow-kissed trees, the white blossoms, and then some of those cozy spices and glowing embers that give it a little warmth. The vanilla woods and tonka bean become much easier to notice as it sits, and there is a really nice softness from the warm musk underneath everything. The whole thing has this cool, lush quality that reminds me of that particular smell in the air when fall is fading away to winter and the first frost is getting close. It is definitely a winter fragrance to me, but it does not feel overly Christmasy or heavy. There is a freshness to it that keeps everything feeling light, and the more I smell it, the more I like how all of those different pieces fit together.
