Dancing with Strangers 50ml

A deep, floral musk with traditional iris and violet powdery notes, entwined with honeysuckle; quite the opposite of baby powder, this is only for adults.

The first of our Tessa Williams X 4160Tuesdays trio, bringing you the aromas of things we’d love to do, but recently haven’t been able to experience. 

Tessa asked us to make her three fragrances to bring to life the things we’d missed during lockdown, and one of them was getting seriously dressed up to go out dancing. This is a deep, floral musk with traditional iris and violet powdery notes, entwined with honeysuckle; quite the opposite of baby powder, this is only for adults. It hugs you inside an invisible fluffy blanket, and strokes you with skin tingling caresses. 

Tessa pictured Truman Capote’s infamous Black & White Ball of 1966, so Sarah gave this the style of a 1960s American voluptuous feminine perfume.

"I love this fragrance, my favorite so far from this house.  I get the lipstick smell but its not powdery on my skin it smells waxy and like a creamy lipstick. It's really hard to describe this scent, I have never smelled anything like it. I just bought a full bottle and am happy to have it." - ochristine

"WOW. I have been searching for years for the perfect lipstick/violet fragrance... This is perfectly balanced-- a realistic lipstick note that's not too waxy, a violet that's not too baby powdery, very soft rose (and I normally dislike rose). So smooth and well-rounded, feminine but not girly, very slightly sweetened... I can't get over how good this is. As soon as I sprayed my sample I ordered a full 100ml bottle. Instantly a favorite." - thornfield
