The Los Angeles Collection - Chateau, 1970

Sunlight cracks through drawn curtains in the late morning and the sound of the running shower from the bathroom gently rouse you from your deep slumber.  Last night's bordeaux still clings to your lips as you stretch across once crisp linens, your head slowly sinking into the down pillow.  Memories from last night curl your toes beneath the blankets.  The clean smell of soap creeps in from the steamy shower swirling with the scent of the loved-in bed and day old roses.  Your plans today? Room service and a dip in the pool.

DESCRIPTION

If these walls could talk. Inspired by the end of an era, memories of the 60s were still echoing into the next decade. Led Zeppelin’s stay in 1968, and Jim Morrison’s last hurrah in 1970. Your bungalow is adorned with roses, alive and wilting. You are enveloped in crisp hotel linens, dirtied by last nights romp. The vintage furniture’s wood smell permeates the room, steam creeps from beneath the bathroom door while your lover showers.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Thin Wild Mercury is a fine fragrance line that draws from the many vibrant cultural eras of Los Angeles and New York, eliciting at once the factually historical and the purely fantastical.  In a 1978 interview, Bob Dylan described his 1966 seminal album Blonde on Blonde as having "...that thin, that wild mercury sound." While Dylan found the inspiration for this spirited description of his work through his band's lively, uninhibited performances of it at the time, ours is rooted in the illustrious history of the famous coastal cities; their renowned neighborhoods and hangouts and the nowadays fabled eras of their 20th century lifespan – told aromatically.

Thin Wild Mercury has a simple, traditional ethos of the masters: do it yourself. TWM's fragrances are like nuanced stories redolent of particular places and times of the past eloquently told by musings from the present. The result is something like a state of mind for the senses – for anywhere, anytime.
