1967: Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow: Comin' Back to Me

Image
The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long  The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone .... ' Once upon a time there were songs like this. I can still smell the earthy and sweaty smells....Now dust..' 'This song,,, It was early winter 69. I was 18 and seeing a girl who was attending Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. Doing a long distance relationship and that winter was so long, we were in deep acid love.... When spring came I drifted along, doing drugs and going to rock festivals. Until the draft notice... I never saw or heard from her again.' 'I left NJ after high school graduation in the summer of 65 and headed to the height to play guitar and hook up with a band. I played around with a local band and we were makin' some noise when I met Cassie she was perfect. We were magic the band was cookin' in the summer of 67 I was drafted. The last day we were together we saw the Airplane and held each other as Marty sa...

Town Country Magazine: Spring 2016: Diary of a Country Beauty: Bohdidharma: Green Camellia

Image
We are thrilled to have Bohdidharma's Green Camellia included in Kathleen Baird-Murray's 'Diary of a Country Beauty'; a fun and entertaining, and wholly informative, guide to spring fragrances. The piece in Town & Country Magazine imagines the protagonist, Poppy Percival, scenting her home with those elusive springtime scents. Whilst April blossoms are beautiful they are not fragrance-heavy like pollen-laden summer blooms.  We were delighted to discover, courtesy of Kathleen's evocative prose and excellent detective work, some scents we have hitherto not tried. So even more fun to be had!  This is what Kathleen says about Bohdidharma's Green Camellia; 'Guaranteed to give vigour to the soul, this is a blend of citrus bergamot, green tobacco leaves and the subtle spice of camellia lutchuensis (one of the most scented camellias) that will turn any rainy day into soft sunshine'.

Image
We are delighted to have our Mrs White's Unstung Hero included in the Spring issue of Departures Magazine from American Express. We are loving the ethereal misty blue colour of the cover. 'Roullier White's Unstung Hero does double duty as a deliciously dewy lemon tea infused scent for men and women, and as an ultra-potent repellent against pesky mosquitoes and all manner of creepy crawlies.'

Perfume Possibilities: Nancy Sinatra

Image
Seeing this shot of Nancy Sinatra in boots and bikini, balancing a guitar on her foot in the road, prompted us to wonder what else she was wearing. We like to think it may have been Ma Griffe by Carven. In French a griffe is a designer or artist's signature or mark. Boots and bikinis were very much part of the signature Nancy Sinatra sixties look. 8 The daughter of one of the most famous singing stars ever, Nancy bravely carved a very different and definite niche for herself and in very different times. Whilst girl groups were singing of unrequited love & betrayal, Nancy was making it clear she was no pushover. As she declared in  These Boots Are Made For Walkin' , her footwear was not just a fashion statement. Inspired by the unique style of a woman, now 75, who helped define the sixties, we pair six modern fragrances with six fabulous Nancy fashion moments.  London 1969 By 4160 Tuesdays 8 Top : Lemo...

Image
We are thrilled to have our wonderful scent, Wonderful India, by Jimmy Boyd, featured in tonight's Evening Standard. The fragrance is included in a glorious round of springtime floral fragrances by Viola Levy.  Here is what Viola says; "For those partial to floral scents reminiscent of the East, this creation by Jimmy Boyd will take you from a one-bed flat in Zone 4 to the beaches of Goa. It springs into life with zesty lime top notes, drying down to a seductive floral heart of jasmine, patchouli and crisp Indian cedar." Jimmy Boyd is exclusive to Roullier White in the UK.

Product Spotlight: Mrs White's Storm in a Teacup

Image
Personally, I don’t mind doing the dishes... Or at least not when I have a bottle of Mrs White’s Storm in a Teacup to hand. The luxurious natural ingredients not only cut through the grease and dirt to give you a sparkling clean, they also leave the kitchen smelling incredible. One of the other things that we’re so proud of with our lovely Mrs White's range is that they don’t contain and harsh or harmful chemicals. Instead we choose to use natural formulas that are based on traditional recipes that have been handed down through our family to ensure an all natural clean that leaves your dishes (and your conscience) spotless. Simply add one squeeze to running hot water and let the natural oils and ingredients do their work. Find Mrs White's Storm in a Teacup on the Roullier White website here.

From Drag Queens to Sea Lords

Image
From Drag Queens to Sea Lords ...... Modern British perfumers are using Britain's rich and diverse history as inspiration for a new wave of sophisticated and elegant scents. Latest addition to Roullier White's extensive collection of rare fragrances is  Handsome London , modern scents that we know will delight and resonate with discerning fragrance fans. Each  Handsome London  fragrance is lovingly hand blended and bottled in London in a process that takes 90 days. Recalling the heady and hedonistic days of the sadly now defunct, but forever remembered, Madame JoJo's,  Handsome London's Master JoJo  explores modern masculinity. Earthy corpulent notes of rich, dark patchouli are stirred with slightly sweet sandalwood, working together as one in this dual-faceted scent. Master JoJo is constructed outside the confines of traditional perfumery and eschews the standard top, middle and base not...

Image
This month the majestic Le Galion sailed into Roullier White; bringing with it a cargo of some of the most delightful fragrances we have ever sampled. We are justifiably delighted and extremely excited to include Le Galion in Roullier White's prestigious portfolio of rare fragrances. The concept and execution of this luxurious heritage brand that dates back to the 1930's is truly exquisite; from the genius construction of the sublime scents through to its faultless presentation. Check out some of the  original old ads from the Paris archives; below. The original 222 dates back to the 1930's, a delicate leather accord that is enhanced and enriched through the careful selection of notes around it, from the lilt of violet to a creamy and sumptuous dry down of sandalwood, vanilla and coumarin in the base.  Discover 222 A sporty citrus fragrance originally released in 1972, Eau Noble is a composition full of...
