It’s cold out there! It’s winter and the sweet smells of summer are gone. The days are serene again – with a little help. A little indulgence in a bottle (No! Not that kind of bottle!) to help ease the bitter pangs of frost (as frosty as California gets) and brighten the day. Summer scents are among the most memorable to me (after Christmas trees). Blooming flowers in the warm air, and sipping lemonade while lounging by the pool. Summer’s essence is in the scent of lilacs, sweet tea (Southern exposure anyone?), and green leaves. Elizabeth W is a perfumery that can elicit memories and long-forgotten experiences to bring some life back into the dark-days of winter. Based in San Francisco, Elizabeth W has boutiques all over LA, but it’s still a tiny company with a big goal ““ to appeal to your sense of smell in a very positive and uplifting sort of way.
Named after Elizabeth Wightman, her grandson, Albert Nichols”“former architect ““ along with partner Michael Lindsay created the line Elizabeth W in honor of Nichols grandmére. Nichols notes, “Her spirit of determination and independence went hand in hand with her romantic nature and classic elegance. She was the obvious inspiration for my business.”
