Rising to the East at sunset, the Hunter’s Moon appears larger, brighter and rounder than the other full moons. Sweet, warm, and woodsy, DME’s Hunter’s Moon is a subtle, spicy fragrance that is as mysterious and magical as the round orange moon for which it is named.

The Strawberry Moon rises in June and is the last full moon of Spring and the first full moon of Summer.

Strawberry Moon was named by indigenous people of colonial times who picked and gathered June’s ripened wild strawberries. Unlike other strawberry scents, DME’s custom-blended Strawberry Moon does not smell artificial or overpoweringly sweet. The first whiff of DME’s Strawberry Moon is soft with a delicate hint of freshly ripened strawberries followed by fresh grass and a woodsy musk.
Top Notes: Strawberry, Peach Mid-notes: Fresh Grass, Hay Base Notes: Woody Musk and Amber
Sugar Moon
The Sugar Moon is March’s full moon and the last full moon before Spring, a time of new beginnings. Also known as Sap Moon because Maple trees begin to ooze the maple that is tapped and turned into Maple Syrup. Sugar Moon also gets its name from the last winter snows that sprinkle the land and trees like fine powdery sugar. DME’s Sugar Moon fragrance is true to its name; a delicious, warm sugary vanilla with hints of almond and chestnuts.
