Crow Moon 2025

…The second time is set

Whose crumbs the crows inspect

And with ironic caw

Flap past it to the

Farmer’s corn

Men eat of it and die

– Emily Dickinson

 

An ironic caw: dry hay absolute, syrupy candied fig, a lash of scathing pink pepper, and the dark gleam of bittersweet blackcurrant.

Crow Moon 2025:

…The second time is set

Whose crumbs the crows inspect

And with ironic caw

Flap past it to the

Farmer’s corn

Men eat of it and die

– Emily Dickinson

 

An ironic caw: dry hay absolute, syrupy candied fig, a lash of scathing pink pepper, and the dark gleam of bittersweet blackcurrant.

 

 

At first, this scent was 'dry' and definitely smelled like something herbaceous.

After a moment, it was a bloom of juicy, dark fruits. I guess the 'fig' note smells akin to pomegranates to me, because it struck me like a pomegranate at this stage.

Once it dried down some, Crow Moon 2025 did have a more bitter undertone and a tiny bit of dried spice. I'm not overly familiar with BPAL's 'pink pepper' note, but I can see the spice element being attributed to this pepper note.

 

Overall this is a beautiful, darkly gleaming scent. I would say it does encapsulate an impression of the crow's dark ebony feather cloak and fiery intelligence. It reminded me a little bit of the GC offering of 'The Raven' - despite no note overlaps. In fact, I would go as far as to suggest that Crow Moon 2025 is a 'fall/Halloweenie' interpretation of that GC scent. It is an expertly crafted scent and bottle worthy.
