TAIGA ON i-D

Zola Jesus just turned latest album, Taiga, into a perfume by the same name. The dark, apocalyptic LP was recorded on an island near Seattle, so it's fitting that Zola teamed up with Seattle-based fragrance makers Blackbird to create the scent. According to the singer, the super gothic fragrance is "the ancient scent of smoke born from the first fire." Expect Omani frankincense, oak, bergamot and geranium.

BLACKBIRD ON MIMIFROUFROU.COM

 

Blackbird, formerly a menswear clothing store based in Seattle, WA, has morphed into a design studio and perfume house in 2015 with 9 fragrances that reportedly took 9 years to research. They are: Triton, Pipe Bomb, Mizuchi, Hallow, Tinderbox, Iroko, Moto Oud, The Wendol, and Zola Jesus Taiga X Blackbird...

Founder Nicole Miller was interested in particular by so-called "progressive" fragrances wanting to explore the cutting-edge of the perfume industry. The result is characterized as defining a perfume style which "is transportive and modern, yet easy to wear."

BLACKBIRD IN APARTMENT THERAPY

From Blackbird, Nicole Miller's design/fashion/inspiration company in Seattle, WA, I've been burning Hibernus this week, and it's truly lovely. Available in 16 scents, each tin comes with little, conical pyres of perfume scented incense inside which last for about 30 minutes. They are black as night or black as coal. Very elegant.

MOTO OUD EAU DE ON MODE

You haven't saved enough for that Harley yet, but you have a model picked out. In the meantime, you rock Blackbird’s Moto Oud Eau De Parfum to settle your Inner Rebel. The fragrance was inspired by how a broken-down bike in the desert might smell, and we mean that in a good way. It's unique, edgy, and the right amount of masculine. Think fine leather and spicy wood, subtly robust and inviting.

BLACKBIRD'S BEARD OIL IN ASKMEN

The first thing our testers noted about this beard oil was its intense scent. “The smell is strong and not my personal favorite,” said Marc.

“The oil was far too pungent,” Guillaume added. “In fact, my eyes watered for a time following application.” He felt the “manly, lumberjack” scent would appeal to some guys, but it was a bit much for his own taste. 

The testers also found it made their skin feel a bit irritated immediately upon application,  “as if I had applied cologne or aftershave,” described Guillaume — so if you have sensitive skin, this may not be the best option for you. 

On the plus side, Marc says, “It was easy enough to work into my beard and didn't come off as too glossy or shiny.”

BLACKBIRD SCARVES ON STUPID DOPE

Just because it’s the first day of Spring doesn’t mean it still can’t get cold. Just ask folks in the Northeast this morning. Well today we’ve got something that is sure to keep you warm and add some style to your life. Today we get a look at Blackbird Scarves, which are perfect for all seasons. Blackbird has a unique collection of scarves, all of which are hand cut with raw edges to 6 feet long.

They come in a unique number of designs, the Gravity, the Frosthammer, the Suspension and the Concrete, all coming with their own unique allure and concepts in the process. Each one provides a unique design and some stunning style, allowing you to use them as a scarf, wrap, cover up, improvised dress, towel, tent, blanket, curtain, or baby swaddle.

TRITON IN BYRDIE

Remember back in the day when you and your friends all wore the same fruity body spray and your whole friend group would smell the same—like a cloud of synthetic fruit running down the halls of your grade school? Luckily we all out-grow that berry-melon-mist phase of life. But still it’s smell just like everyone else. If you’re someone who enjoys bonding with friends (and strangers too) over your shared love of Elizabeth and James’ Nirvana, then fragrance shopping is a breeze for you. If you’re someone who prefers a bit more mystery in her perfume, this is the guide for you.
