Twin Peaks Inspired "WONDERFUL AND STRANGE Liquid Music Fragrance Trio" by Seattle Perfumer Christi Meshell to Benefit David Lynch Foundation

Posted on May 21, 2017 by Matriarch Blog

House of Matriarch is pleased to announce what Perfumer Christi Meshell is calling one of the "most exciting projects" she has ever released.

SEATTLE, WA:  25 years have passed since Laura Palmer, the troubled coquette who worked at the perfume counter of Horne's Department Store in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, made her impression on the minds and hearts of an entire generation.  Since, the resounding echoes and haunting chords of the soundtrack have kept her memory and the mysteries surrounding her death brewing in the collective consciousness. They also ignited the creative inspiration for a collection of perfumes both "wonderful and strange".

Residing near the Snoqualmie Forest where the series was filmed, our Perfumer has a deep knowing of how the dark woods depicted in the series would smell.  In a video of Angelo Badalamenti, the composer of the famous soundtrack, he recounts the story of how he and David Lynch sat together at his piano to co-compose the soundtrack.  As she followed along, Christi began to imagine the aromas which seemed to accompany the famous question still being asked:  "Who killed Laura Palmer?"

Twin Peaks Inspired Liquid Music Fragrance Trio

Future's Past
Enter the enchanted forest at it's darkest - and brightest.  Sandarac, tamarack and balsam set a deep and haunting baseline - A minor chord of Snoqualmie Forest evergreens beckons as owl feathers flutter above the damp earth.
99% Natural.

The Red Room 
Deep and powerful chord of western red cedar heartwood with melodic overtures of black currant over a baseline of leather, copaiba and incense.  Yes, this is a red perfume, naturally colored by the red cedar heartwood.  
100% Natural.
   
A World of Blue
Base notes of oud and natural heliotropin (both forbidden and rare) provide structure for the minor chord of coumarinic deerstongue and blue lotus.  A cloud of powdery iris beurre wisps in like a velvety dream, further softening the mood.
99% Natural.

NEW AQUATIC / MARINE UNISEX FRAGRANCE - ALBATROSS BRINGS THE OCEAN TO YOU

Posted on May 15, 2016 by Matriarch Blog

Sanctuary Through Scent calls Albatross the north star of fragrance because it's the scent that all others are going to have to live up to! Albatross, like it's namesake is a commanding presence, it's manages to evoke both the sea and the forest, it's both strong and flexible. It opens beautifully throughout the day, a continuous experience and joy.

Rare, magnificent and auspicious, the albatross bird is the captain of the air. The natural marine accord celebrates that spirit, the fresh coolness of where the ocean meets the sky. Salty Salish Sea breezes meet the soft warm notes of cork, driftwood and cottonwood evoking images of seafaring vessels, creosote-soaked timber, and barnacle covered hulls. Set your sights on the horizon, feel the wind in your sails.

Woo Artisan Perfume- A unique, addictive and stunning scent

Posted on April 15, 2015 by Matriarch Blog

"The more I wore this [Woo], the more I became addicted to this one. It is unusual but in a really sexy way. It is bold leather to start, but gradually as it melts into the skin it transforms into a real yet smooth tobacco leather illuminated by a HINT of a marine note that actually works in a contrasting way to help highlight the tobacco and leather. There is a touch of vanilla that shows up as it evolves, light real vanilla bean pod in just enough to leave to wanting more as it gently rounds the edges off the tobacco/leather. It yields that sensual edge to what is typically a 'rough' association of leather and tobacco without taking away the boldness of the combination. This is a unique, addictive and stunning scent I think everyone should at least experience."-Gardenia Girl (Fragrantica)
