oM Artisan Perfume: Smoky resins, agarwood and the entire orange tree from leaf to fruit

Posted on April 08, 2015 by Matriarch Blog

"This is a gorgeous oriental orange blossom perfume, completely unique in my experience. I've tried dark, syrupy, and heavy orange blossoms, airy, soapy, and clean orange blossoms, and a wide range of candied orange blossom perfumes, but oM is the first truly oriental orange blossom perfume, with more incense and wood than any of the usual accompanying note suspects. I, too, have visited southern Spain, and it's true: the scent of Spanish cathedrals and the naranjeros of Sevilla have been ably captured and harmonized in oM. What a lovely composition!" – Sherapop (Reviewer on Fragrantica)

A new small batch of oM was bottled last week. Order yours now!

"Oh my stars, daft love behind the curtain!" House of Matriarch throws down three new fragrance tracks

Posted on January 01, 2015 by Matriarch Blog

1/1/15
House of Matriarch "Nose" Christi Meshell has just released a DISCO EDITION trio of perfumes for Carlos Powell's Peace, Love & Perfume Project.  Ever inspired by song in her fragrance designs, this project allowed Christi to go "all the way" with her craft of blending liquid music.  Numerous members of the Peace, Love & Perfume community (700+members) "listened in" during the early stages and contributed their submissions for how they imagined the three songs would "smell". 
The perfumes are handcrafted from the highest quality essences from around the world, and contain over 70% organic materials.  There are no fragrance oils or pre-mixed bases.  Each perfume stands alone, yet the collection was designed to allow for blending any two or even all three. What fun!

Samples come in adorable 3ml micro-beakers, with an extra beaker for mixing at home.  Vanity bottles are made from shiny disco balls!

Matriarch Perfumes Adored at TAG's Emmy Celebrity Gift Lounge

Posted on August 30, 2014 by Matriarch Blog

House of Matriarch perfume were featured at GBK's pre-Primetime Emmys Celebrity Gift Lounge, an invitation-only luxury celebrity gift lounge hosted by The Artisan Group on August 23-24, 2014 in Beverly Hills, California, in honor of the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards nominees and presenters.  

Matriarch was honored to be the only fragrance brand in recent years invited to participate in this elite event.  Luxury fragrances Blackbird & Coco Blanc were prominently displayed, and all 100+ attending celebrities were gifted with mini's of both perfumes in their VIP gift bags.  Motion picture Matriarch Angela Bassett (an enthusiastic advocate of the arts and artisan crafted products) sported both fragrances at the event: one on each arm!   

As a scotch connoisseur, Jamie Gray Hyder, co-star of Graceland has a discerning olfactory palate.  Here she enjoys the gourmand notes of Coco Blanc.
