Get out on the danse parquet and let your powdered wig down to vivacious viola de gamba grooves. It’s baroque, baby!

Baroque music has been a fixture in my life since I was very young. Many a morning did I jolt awake to Royal Fireworks or Lully’s Te Deum. When we were kids, my sister & I hated it. But in college I fell hard for Classical Music. It has become a constant in the background of my life. I like to think about the wild soirees that must have gone down at the court of Louis the Sun King: Bacchanal bliss with baroque tunes that now sound quite prim & proper. We need to start having parties like that again.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!

You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
