The Los Angeles Collection - Whisky, 1969 NOTES TopPink Pepper, Cardamom MiddleRaspberry, Nutmeg, Ylang Ylang BaseCedarwood, Bourbon Amber DESCRIPTION An ode to iconic rock club on the Sunset Strip. Dark, electric, and little bit drunk. A groupie nuzzles into an intoxicated rock god backstage; they swig spicy warm bourbon from the bottle together and her girlish scent swirls about the sweaty room. The red stage lights burn hot lighting up the beautiful faces in the smoky crowd. The bass thumps from the stage rattling the old, sticky, wooden bar. DETAILS eau de parfum - 50 mL or 8 mL 80% alc. by volume 50 mL Glass bottle comes packaged in a beautiful box, 5mL glass spray comes in a paper pouch. 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.
