If you are anything like me, you're watching the latest season of White Lotus & loving Parker Posey's delightfully unhinged character, Victoria Ratliff, the comfortably numb, narcissistic, Southern matriarch of an uber-privileged family staying at the White Lotus resort on Koh Samui in Thailand.
Victoria is, to put it mildly, kind of the worst, but Posey's portrayal of her is positively magnetic. Her biggest problem in life, or so she thinks, is that her daughter wants to stay at a meditation retreat in a local Thai monastery for a year -- which Victoria needs convincing isn't a front for human trafficking. As with any Southern mom brought up during the Satanic Panic, it's always evil 'sex cults'.
This week (NO SPOILERS, I PROMISE) when her character was musing on how much she enjoys the luxuries she has been able to surround herself with, she says, as she sniffs a roll-on bottle of perfume, "I like my scents. I like my velvet." Then, noting what she's smelling in the fragrance she has just applied, "Grass. Tuberose."
In that moment, I became the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV meme. Firstly, this moment was so relatable for anyone who loves scent and has mentally checked out for just a moment, lost in an olfactory reverie. And secondly, I became that meme because I'd been working on a scent for release in summer that featured notes of: grass and tuberose!
In a twist of fate that could not even have been foreseen by the writer's room of the show (which is a tension-filled murder mystery, for those not yet familiar with the show), here I had a fragrance that already matched the vibe of a Thai wellness resort & even had the notes in it namechecked by the character on my TV screen.
It was kismet. It was a sign. So, today, I bring you:
I Like My Scents, I Like My Velvet
Morning dew on fresh grass, pomelo, tuberose, rambutan, velvety cashmeran, broad, lush, shady green leaves, & solar musk. ~ A luxe, fresh, green fruity-floral, perfect for navigating family drama and Lorazepam withdrawal at an all-inclusive resort in Thailand.
Listing for this scent, in all sizes including samples, is live NOW on the website!
