Skin - Our Shop

This is the skin scent from our House of Burlesque collection.

A revelation, the aroma of warm skin unveiled as we peel away flounces of lace, layers of shiny satin and smooth velvet. We used an extract of honeybush and essential oil of everlasting flower for added intrigue.

Five sensuous musks surround an intriguing heart of honeybush, everlasting flower, rice, cacao and beeswax. A skin scent in every sense.

We have placed tassels on these beautiful new bottles to add an extra bit of dazzle – and fun, since we’re yet to meet anyone who can pick up the bottle without trying a little tasseltwirl. Sarah has become pretty good at it.

Notes: Musks, honeybush, everlasting flower, rice, cacao, beeswax and intrigue.

Skin is suitable for vegans

“Musky, honeyed, resinous, even a wee bit animalic yet sweet, perhaps a niche fragrance enchanter that is nonetheless a really subtle standalone statement” - Eric Riviello

“Skin is giving me ‘my skin but better’ musky fragrance enhancer vibes and I’m curious to see what it does when layered with the others” - Helen Louise

The story behind the House of Burlesque collection

In 2023, Sarah was accepted on a wonderful business course for small creative companies, run by the British Library Business and IP Centre. There she met the inspiring Tempest Rose, founder of House of Burlesque, and this is from her manifesto:

"We believe that beauty and brains can be celebrated together and we reject the notion that beauty only comes in one size, colour or shape. We believe everyone can find their unique power, and should be free to style it how they wish, cover it in crystals, and shine without fear or judgement."

House of Burlesque is supported by the UK Arts Council, runs regular shows and classes for everyone who wants to discover their own unique power. 

So naturally Sarah and Tempest Rose decided to capture this feeling in a fragrance collection.

We asked our wonderful community to get involved by running a crowdfunding campaign. It was a huge success and today we have the House of Burlesque collection. Thank you to everyone who supported us and helped to bring confidence, empowerment, and pure entertainment into a collection of fragrances.
