launch last night in the mission district of san francisco a very rare and beautiful flower opened its petals for the very first time at 5 30 i met up with perfume buddies hilary randal and mario gomez at barney s ny to head out to the very trendy and à la mode mission district for the launch of tigerlily perfumery as we battled our way through the pre black friday crowds to the bart station i learned that tigerlily perfumer s launch was for a pop up at the love luxe boutique prior to its opening in a permanent location on 22 nd street this coming february tonia and betsy and the chandelier i met up with photo stolen from tigerlily facebook the owner of tigerlily antonia kohl has gathered together some really interesting perfume houses for her new exhilarating venture including yosh ineke mikmoi bois 1920 amouage i hate perfume bruno fazzolari and il profumi di firenez and the list like the beat goes on we arrived just after 6 to the strikingly chic boutique and were greeted at the door by bill o such and ineke rhuland of ineke perfumes it was a real treat to see them again and to connect over ineke s new perfume collection floral curiosities hilary mario and i were presented with cocktails based on the new collection the floral curiosities amazing sample set the drinks were delightful imaginative and created to reflect a taste sensation to go along with each perfume i was the first to try the angels trumpet royale this delicious cocktail of prosecco and melon liqueur was created by bill and his friend gretchen van horne and presented to me by the very charming ms van horne herself it was a deceptively light and yummy libation the perfumed inspired cocktails were a big hit of the evening ineke and i caught up a bit discussing her new launch and her amazing garden where she often finds inspiration for her creations she asked me if i had a garden so i told her of my tiny fire escape overflowing with geraniums roses and parma violets ineke is a charming woman brimming over with a great love of her work i had so much fun with her we will have rings and things and fine array w shakespeare the owner of love luxe betsy barron introduced herself and surprised me with a lovely goodie bag filled with samples now that was an unexpected and delightful surprise thanks betsy i love your boutique the jewelry at love luxe is exceptional and stunning i was fascinated as betsy showed hilary some incredible pieces created by an artist from niger in northern africa if you are interested in some very unique pieces by all means when in san francisco make love luxe a must on your shopping next trip at this point i had maneuvered myself over to the tigerlily pop up and met antonia kohl and her husband what a charming and engaging couple tonia took hilary and i through a mini sniff a thon of some of the perfumes on display i must say i was very impressed with the very wide and exciting selection i was also very happy to see that bruno fazzolairi s amazing perfumes were in the lineup his romantic and lushly gorgeous au delà was on hand and i had to take a sniff to remind myself of just how stunning this perfume is i was also very happy to see mikmoi s perfumes in attendance and available to the san francisco audience of perfume lovers tama and corey photo stolen from b b baird being very tall i ended up at this point doing battle with a low hanging chandelier before moving on to sample bois 1920 ajne as dj bill zindell spun some great party music i was joined by tama blough of ca fleure bon corry nguyen elly wang and brooke baird from sf sniff our little group took over the pop up for a time to explore i hate perfume danielle sargent s fabulous cognoscenti perfumes and d s durga i was astonished it is a small pop up crammed to the rafters with incredible product i can t wait until february when tigerlily opens its store photo stolen from corey nguyen by now the boutique was packed with a hopping crowd and the event began to

queen of the barbary coast gilded lily by ineke hi ya lil the news boys along market street would shout out to her as she gloriously and most spectacularly passed by each day looking like a queen miss lily little bobby thomson would say every day as he gave her a newspaper on the house he thought she was swell the newsboys always holding her signature goldband lily bouquet lily de marché would smile laugh and blow kisses to the boys knowing that in just a few short years they would join there fathers and older brothers as her audience at the hippodrome on pacific street she was the toast of the town the belle of the ball and the queen of the barbary coast the only woman the great caruso wanted to hear sing when he came to town she was her own woman she owed no man anything more and nothing less than a beautiful song presented along with her famous cool smile from the footlights between 9 and 11 every night but monday in the city by the bay lily was the most famous beauty of her day she rode every afternoon down market street in a black carriage burnished with gold leaf drawn by four black arabian stallions each prancing horse sported a gold hat of plumed red ostrich feathers that danced in the afternoon wind that came in like clockwork at 3 p m off the pacific ocean the horses and their ruby crowns were the delight of every newsboy along the market and lily was a fascination to every man who caught a glimpse of her each day she wore a new paris dress with a matching parasol and hat these along with her more spectacular evening gowns were imported by ship and then transcontinental train at great expense by her charmed patrons from nob hill once a dress was seen in public the garment was packed in tissue paper returned to its parisian box and delivered by her chinese maids to the prostitutes on the barbary coast nearly singlehandedly lily was responsible for maintaining the tradition of san francisco s ladies of the night as being the influential fashion plates of the west the society ladies of the city looked to the bad girls of town for the latest trends in fashion and followed them slavishly if it were not for her voice and exceptional beauty lily knew she would have most likely been working a crib at madame sally s on gold street lily liked to help the girls when she could and thank her lucky stars that she had a voice ladies of easy virtue in lily s hand me downs on an outing in golden gate park this charmed rather superficial life would have gone on forever if it hadn t been for one little thing lily awoke at 5 12 on that wednesday morning of april 18 th to the alarm of the saint ignatius church bell ringing madly just as she wondered why the 6000 pound bell was banging away at such an early hour it suddenly stopped ringing followed by a huge crash at that moment she was thrown from her bed as the wall of her bedroom peeled away from the house leaving the room exposed to hayes street only then did she realize that an earthquake was ringing every church bell in the city by the time the fires started she had the presence of mind to gather up her jewels and call for her carriage on her way to the safety of golden gate park she made her driver stop to picked up a newsboy she recognized from market street he was standing in the middle of oak street in his nightgown with a stunned look on his face she pulled him into the carriage and away from the pile of rubble that was once his home and now the tomb of his parents bobby thompson never once shed a tear but let her hold him in her arms for the rest of the ride over the following days in the makeshift refugee camps in the park lily found more children who were orphaned and brought them to her tent to take care of them no photos survive of miss de marché so lily langtry is filling in for her lily never performed again at the hippodrome after the fire and earthquake of 1906 she was much too busy with her new life as the founder of the de marché orphanage and home for wayward girls in the hayes valley that is not to say she never sang again indeed every evening after supper she sang for the children that she loved more than she ever had for fancy arabian stallions or paris gowns a trip down market street 1906 can you spot lily in her carriage gilded lily by ineke i find to be incredibly lovely it opens my mind to another era a time when life was at a slower pace or so it seems in hindsight an age when women who could afford it only wore perfume from france dressing gowns and silk pumps in the morning while they powdered themselves under gaslights before ornate mirrors at their dressing tables it is a gilded age perfume to perfection it has a touch of paris in it and speaks of glamour seduction on a refined and delicate level the perfume opens with a fruity blend of tangy pineapple sharp sweet rhubarb a zing of grapefruit these bright notes sparkle like champagne on the skin this bubbly blend is smoothed and soothed by a touch of aromatic elemi the pine elements of this note tie the opening together most elegantly and prepare the nose for what is yet to come there follows the beauty and glory of the perfume as it blooms within moments of these opening notes the gorgeous goldband lily makes its entrance and sings its aria of pure lily loveliness in the most captivating lilting manner this sublimely fragrant lily is lush and full bodied and gives the perfume a deceptively delicate aura it is the backbone of the fragrance and has the strength and staying power of a star note that has the singular job of carrying the perfume forward to the dry down ineke in her garden smelling the goldband lily photo stolen from fragantica the dry down is classic in blending the notes of patchouli oak moss and labdanum to me this is what gives the perfume a classy classic french feeling louis xv and his mistress madame de pompadour loved labdanum so much as to practically bath in it this royal note along with a rich patchouli and the beautiful oak moss carry the fading notes of the lily to a beautiful conclusion the life of the perfume is moderate lasting on my skin about six hours it is close to the skin after the opening with occasional glorious bursts of scent like a small fireworks display it is truly the beauty of its day gilded lily by ineke 5 gold stars november 23 2013 categories perfume
