THE VISITORS CENTER • SUN

Sun & Moon

A Collaboration Between Cinnamon Projects & The Visitor’s Centre, Fire Island Pines

Awakened under the spell of The Pines, this series of incense and perfume oils captures the duality and tension of the island - between secrecy and spectacle, silence and swell, what’s felt in the dark and revealed in the light.

A ritual of scent, memory, and intimacy, Sun & Moon honors the queer joy, sensuality, and surreal beauty that define this place of arrival, abandon, and becoming.

Begin with Moon, burned after dark, worn deep into the night. Incense smoke curls through open windows, mingling with music and the salt-thick air.
It captures the Pines at its most magnetic: bodies in motion, voices low on the boardwalk, secrets exchanged in the dunes.
Skin brushes skin, eyes lock, the air heavy with invitation.

Then comes SUN, lit at first light, worn on warm skin, marked by salt and sweat.
Smoke streams upward in hypnotic threads, drifting through tall grasses and sun-flooded bedrooms.
A scent for going to sleep at dawn, for tangled sheets and bodies.
Perfume worn close and shared in proximity.

These scents are not just worn or burned - they are inhabited.
Maps to a place outside of time, where shadows shimmer and desire leads.
A fragrant offering for the Lost Boys, the dreamers, the dancers, the lovers - for those who come to Fire Island not to escape, but to arrive fully.

From moonlight to morning, from rave to ritual - these are the scents of summer only the Pines could know.
