A bonfire is a massive fire that is usually built for a huge outdoor event, signaling device or a celebration. Bonfire actually stems from the Middle English bonefire, literally referring to a fire of bones. Bonfires were held in worship of saints and in modern times, are used to commemorate events. Fragrances evoking bonfires are usually more Autumn in nature and feature notes of smoke on crisp air.

- Alchemic Muse Bonfire Perfume Oil - Evocative of the vibrant colors of autumn, it is an inviting and familiar blend of crisp fall air, mulled cider, burning maple leaves and a crackling bonfire.
- Freyja’s Daughters Brigid’s Fires Perfume Oil - Brigid is a revered Celtic goddess of poetry, healing, blacksmithing, wisdom, protection, animals, and the renewal of life. In Pagan Ireland, bonfires were lit atop hilltops in her honor, believed to protect livestock and invite blessings upon the crops below. Most famously, in Kildare, a sacred flame was kept perpetually burning in Brigid’s name, some say by Brigid herself. This fire became a symbol of her enduring presence, a beacon of devotion and divine protection. When Christianity arrived in Ireland, the goddess Brigid was syncretized into Saint Brigit, and the flame at Kildare continued to burn, this time in her Christian temple, tended by nuns for over 500 years. Though extinguished during the Reformation, the foundation of the Fire Temple was restored in the 1980s. You can still visit it today, a living testament to Brigid’s enduring light. A blend of vanilla, sugar and woodsmoke.
