D.S. & Durga - Bergamot Superior Candle - Citrus Candle

D.S. & Durga, Bergamot Superior Candle, Citrus Candle. D.S. & Durga Bergamot Superior Candle is a citrus candle. Wild bergamot weeds sing citrus-speak in spring by the cool, cool water of Great Lake Superior. "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. Bergamot Superior Candle celebrates unexpected exotic beauty in the far North by Lake Superior." D.S. Durga
