Richmond Inspired Perfumes & Colognes
Product Description
1 oz
NEW: The Rivah - The James River is the heart of our city. This scent has a similar vibrant but calming composition: clean water essence, fresh fruits and herbs, middle notes of lime, and bottom notes of patchouli with exotic wood resins.
Pine Street Barber Shoppe - Need a good cut and a shave? This legendary Oregon Hill establishment will have you looking fresh in no time.
Rothesay - Fresh, brisk, with vetiver, clean linen, and woods.
2 Street - A fragrance worthy of a night out on the town in Jazz Age Richmond. Created for men, but smells incredibly sexy on women as well. Notes: rosemary, geranium, vetiver, holy sage, moss, lavender, cedarwood, clementine, lavender, rose, coriander, citrus, and vanilla.
2621 - The signature scent for a very handsome and sexy man. Wood Coffee blends with Bourbon Vanilla.
Agecroft Hall - Pine, cedar, violets, fresh sage, linen.
Belle Isle: rose, jasmine, and violet, on a bed of soft vanilla and dark, sexy base note.
Botanical Gardens - refreshing herbs, orange blossoms, and mint. Fresh from the cutting garden!
Byrd Theater - all the scents of the vintage movie palace - Hot Buttered Popcorn, Ooey, Gooey milk duds, and an icy cold Coke.
Carytown Sweet Tea - After a leisurely Saturday afternoon spent shopping in Carytown's fashionable boutiques, even the most die-hard shopaholic needs a little break. What's more refreshing than a tall, cold glass of sweet tea? The ambrosia of the South, this brisk, brewed black tea has plenty of sugar. Want mint or lemon on the side? You got it.
Cookie Factory - Even though the FFV cookie factory has closed up shop, if the wind is just right, you can still smell the freshly baked cookies wafting
Evergreen Cemetery – Before there was Oprah, before there was Martha, there was Maggie. Miss Maggie Lena Walker was the first female bank president in United States History, and her business acumen is legend for helping African-Americans affected by segregation work together to improve their financial situation. She lies at rest in Evergreen Cemetery, her ornate grave nearly surrounded by a tangle of wild vines in the forest. Wrought iron fences are nearly pulled down by the tide of green. A few brave and sturdy volunteers constantly prune and trim back the neglected cemetery, and this wild and woodsy scent is dedicated to them. It is my hope that someday soon this site and the people buried upon it will truly be given the care and respect it needs and deserves.
Farmer's Market - early on a Thursday morning in July, you can buy the best tomatoes in the world at the 17th Street Farmers Market. Picked fresh hours before and trucked in from Hanover County, Hanover Tomatoes are famous for their sweet, tangy flesh: it's said there's something in the soil that makes them taste so good. But before you taste them, you smell them: bright with weeks of sunshine and surrounded by deep green vines and leaves. Clean herbal notes and the faintest trace of wood and spice make this a perfect warm weather scent.
Flowers in the Fan: Inspired by the many small gardens in the Fan that manage to fill a space with every flower imaginable. White dogwood, magnolia, and narcissus are sweetened with a drop of honeydew melon.
Forest Hill - the original ‘streetcar suburb’, the terminus of which was an amusement park designed to attract families to the outskirts of town, in hopes they would relocate to the quiet bungalows and foursquare houses. The sweet scents of the amusement park are set off by greens and florals.
Ginter Park Wisteria - in a neighborhood with homes over 100 years old, it's no surprise that the trees are so tall they form a canopy over the street. But look closer, and you'll see another ancient - gnarled, woody, and twining on any support they can find -the wisteria. It seems like the oldest wisteria have the longest flowers. Fresher and less sweet than the lilac, with hints of violet and lavender. The wisteria has a strong, feminine scent that is just a little bit unexpected.
Give Me Liberty – this independent and wearable scent is inspired by Patrick Henry and his famous speech at Saint John’s Church. It clings to the skin, as inalienable as our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! Amber, tea, vanilla, leather, smoky incense and spices.
High Tea at the Jefferson - Perfectly brewed tea, with spicy undertones of mint and cardamom, a hint of sweetness, and a scone!
Hippodrome - Designed to compliment 2 Street, this is an elegant fragrance for a daring, sexy, and confident woman. Bergamot, neroli and tuberose blended with vetiver, leather and musk.
Kuba Kuba - Juicy Pineapple, cool mint, and sweet, spicy rum - a tribute to everyone's favorite Fan restaurant.
Libbie and Grove - Dogwood and Magnolia entwined with Honeysuckle. White florals for a modern yet feminine, feel.
Libby Hill - like a sunrise over the James River, this scent is subtle and beautiful. A dry, lavender/patchouli accord is surrounded by precious wood resins. Great on a man or a woman.
MacArthur Avenue - tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the Northside is a quite hip little street. When I'm in the mood for something sweet, as well as a tiny bit of adventure, I ride my bike to Stir Crazy cafe for a blondie or cookie, and browse in the nearby bookstore. This scent captivates the sweet tooth, with rich walnut and pecan notes drizzled with maple syrup. A twist on sugar, spice and everything nice!
Main Street Melon Martini - at Robinson and Main, the novice barfly could be overwhelmed with choice. With so many restaurants and bars brimming with life, you'll never want for sophisticated cocktails and ice-cold microbrews. This scent is an homage to relaxing with a few friends after a long work week. Sweet and tart melon liqueur floats over premium vodka, in a sugar-rimmed glass.
Manchester - Once a bustling seat of industry, now a haven for loft dwellers and art galleries. So it goes in Richmond's South Side. This scent captures the essence of Manchester's past, like the ghost of a tobacco factory. Sweet tobacco leaves, oak beams, and clove bud are tempered with dry and herbal notes. Suitable for women or men.
Maymont: Crisp bergamot and sunny daffodil bloom in front of a well-manicured rosebush. Soft wood notes and musk linger in the air.
Mayo Island - just downriver from Belle Isle, this captures a slightly sweeter spirit. Orange and lemongrass essential oils give way to rose and lavender petals, with a slightly powdery musk and patchouli finish. The top notes actually linger for a long while, due to the tenacity of citrus oils!
Robinson Theater – a recently completed restoration has brought new life to this historic entertainment venue. The theater’s cool, art deco stylings inspired a heady, spicy, perfume with vintage allure. Imagine sneaking some rum into a icy bottle of cola, poured from a flask tucked into a lacy garter...on a hot Richmond night...
Sacred Heart - The jewel at the base of the fan, this Italian Renaissance Cathedral has been a stalwart beacon in the night since 1906. In the heart of the city, and yet with lovely Monroe Park at its doorstep, a more beautiful setting could not be imagined. Behind the heavy carved doors, across the cool stone floors, incense wafts over the oiled wood pews, and a bouquet of iris and rose adorns the altar.
Shockoe Bottom: This begins with a sweet, musky blend of violet sugar, soft vanilla musk, and hints of Chambord. The perfect sweet/sexy scent for a night out on the town or in da club.
Texas Beach - Scramble down the bluffs near Maymont from quiet Texas Avenue above, and you will find the oasis of North Bank Park on the James River. Even in the middle of the city, nature abounds, and wild honeysuckle ranges. The fresh air and slow-moving river are a welcome break from the hot asphalt. We call this Texas Beach. Put on some suntan oil and hike, bike, fish, or just enjoy the sun from a rock in the middle of the water. It may be short on sand, but who needs it with a view like this?
The Vine that Ate the South - Sure, sure. Kudzu is a noxious weed (even though we imported it from Japan on purpose). It grows a foot a day, so it's said, and the roots can go 12 feet deep into the soil! But since we're stuck with it, at least enjoy the lovely scent its purple flowers produce. Lightly floral, but the main attraction is that it smells like...Grape Soda!
URGE Magazine - coffee, sandalwood, vanilla, chocolate, and bitter orange.
