Fragrance Scentral: Scent by Alexis

scent by alexis bottles
What happens when a classically trained painter-turned-installation artist embarks on a fragrance-making endeavor?  (Hint:  It’s not what happens with a celeb fragrance line).  You get Scent by Alexis, an utterly exquisite line of hand-crafted perfumes created by Alexis Karl.

Scent by Alexis is comprised of 10 unique perfume oil blends named to evoke the influence and lure of feminine wiles.  Each elixir is housed in beautiful glass bottles which are dyed and gilded by hand. The perfumes are meant to be decorative, divine art treasures in and of themselves — perfume as art.

Our favorite?  We’re particularly captivated by Vixen, which we’ve previewed for you below.

On Paper

“’Why you little Vixen,’ he utters under his breath as the trail of your scent – rich Ethiopian coffee, dry red currant, a juicy mélange of berries – entices his memory.  You smile and walk away.”

On Person

Vixen is a tempting, seductive scent, invoking the smoky essence of a light, berry-based incense or the full taste of a remarkable, dry, red wine.  Close your eyes while breathing in the luxurious blend, and transport yourself to a hot, exotic land filled with unclaimed riches.

The expertly-blended formulation lingers on the skin with the perfect potency throughout the day.  A small dab on the wrists and neck will harness Vixen’s seductive powers and exert its sway on all who encounter the wearer.
