Under the Wolf Moon: A Gentle Beginning for the New Year

Release what has been. Welcome what is becoming.

The first full moon of the year is known as the Wolf Moon — a name born from long winter nights when wolves once howled across frozen landscapes, calling across the dark.

This moon carries a quiet but powerful energy: instinct, reflection, resilience, and deep emotional clarity. It does not rush us into reinvention — it invites us to listen.

To honor this sacred threshold, I’ve curated a selection of Stardust & Stems perfumes to support your New Year rituals — whether you are releasing what has passed, finding your footing, or softly beginning again.
