SMOKY PERFUMES
Inspired by Ernest Hemingway
No one exemplified salty machismo quite like literary master and member of the Lost Generation, Ernest Hemingway. His writing style was simple, brief, and elegant which was in stark contrast to a colorful life spent driving ambulances in war zones and enjoying afternoons watching bullfights. A hard drinker with a love for absinthe in particular, Hemingway wrote some of the 20th century’s most famous works – For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, and A Farewell to Arms.
Death in the Afternoon Cologne Oil celebrates lovable curmudgeons with notes of tobacco pipe, vegan Egyptian musk, champagne, bay leaf, sandalwood, fennel, and bergamot. This unisex scent is reminiscent of a strong glass of absinthe and leather-bound books.

To women who please me only by their faces, I am the very devil when I find out they have neither souls nor hearts…but to the clear eye and eloquent tongue, to the soul made of fire, and the character that bends but does not break—at once supple and stable, tractable and consistent—I am every tender and true.

Zelda Fitzgerald Perfume Inspiration
Zelda Fitzgerald was the original flapper and a writer and artist in her own right though she was viewed only in her husband’s shadow. A quintessential, larger than life “it girl,” Zelda was a fan of perfumes by Schiaparelli. Zelda wrote that Salud by Schiaparelli was “sensorily gratifying perfume that I wanted more of it…violets, lilies, and pink beauty.” This interpretation of Zelda plays with florals amongst a backdrop of sensual, smoky accords to capture the woman who famously said, “death is the only real elegance.”

I've worn these scents to everything from formal balls to average work days and even on my wedding day. I cannot recommend this company enough!”
