MCMC Perfume

August 26th, 2012 | local (L.A.), general | No Comments »

So let me preface this post by saying that I’m not typically a perfume person.  Smells that I like include: patchouli; slightly dirty hair; freshly cut wood; coffee; dirt; citrus; anise; and other very earthy / pure smells.

A few months ago I tried “Hunter” by MCMC at Broome Street General Store (one of my new favorites) in Silverlake and was surprised by how much I liked it.  It smells like bourbon vanilla, tobacco, musk, balsam fir.  It is just the right blend of masculine and feminine for me.  I would maybe even wear it with a little patchouli, but haven’t tried it yet.  Anyway, I finally took the plunge and bought it, after several times of going in to do a sample-and-wear-around test.  MCMC’s perfumes are perfect for people who don’t want anything too perfume-y or powerful.

Minnow Bathers

I am obsessed.  If I were going to plunk down some change for a new swimsuit this summer it would be for this one.  I’m usually a vintage one-piece only kinda girl, but I love most of the styles in this shop.  I even love this two-piece.

Oh, and I would also wear this.
