The two intoxicating and intriguing fragrances pay homage to Peggy Guggenheim’s groundbreaking Exhibition by 31 Women, the first all-female modern art show in the United States. Famous for her both her sharp eye for talent and her daring attitude toward art, Peggy hosted the 1943 exhibit to showcase the revolutionary and challenging works of female artists like Frida Kahlo and Helen Frankenthaler. - Inspired by the illustrious guests and the gallery itself, Carlos Huber worked closely with Jenna Lyons and perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier to develop two fragrances as stimulating as the art, drawing on the scents of the strong cocktails and bold perfumes that filled the night.

Lily ★★★★★

The whiskey and cinnamon top notes are surprisingly smooth together, not at all harsh like I expected. It settles into a warm, woody vanilla that lasts most of the day on my skin.

Jacob J. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the smoky oakwood and cedar base anchors the top notes, making it last hours longer than I expected on my skin. The aged whiskey scent is bold but not overpowering, perfect for evening wear.

Violet ★★★★★

The whiskey and cinnamon combo hits you right away, but then the vanilla bean softens it beautifully—lasts for hours on my skin. Perfect 50ml size for trying something bold without committing to a huge bottle.
