UNTAMED LADY: A PERFUME INSPIRED BY GLORIA SWANSON

Gloria Swanson

Gloria Swanson was a fashion icon and one of the few silent film stars to succeed after the transition to talkies. Nominated for multiple Academy Awards and married six times, Swanson was larger than life.

Golden Age of Hollywood

While she was a megastar of the silent era, one of her most enduring performances was in Sunset Boulevard, released in 1950, in which she played an aging silent film star. One of the most enduring and iconic photographs taken of the beautiful actress was a Vanity Fair portrait in which she is draped in sumptuous black lace.

Vintage Perfume Collector

Gloria Swanson was also a collector of perfume bottles and would sneak them into her films. She once said that the perfume bottles covering her vanity were mostly by Guerlain “because whatever they make is good.” Her favorite scent was a fruity concoction known as Le Fruit Défendu. Untamed Lady takes its name from one of Swanson’s many films and was inspired by her favorite perfume. This fragrance features notes of almond, ylang-ylang, French vanilla, carnation and peach.

None of my fragrances or balms should ever be ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and if you are pregnant it’s not a good idea to use essential oils. Additionally, essential/fragrance oils are very potent and can cause allergies or rashes. Always test a fragrance (mine or anyone else’s) on a small patch of skin to make sure that it won’t bother you. Ingredients are listed in each product listing, if you have a known allergy to one of the ingredients do not buy. If you have a reaction to this product, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention (if serious). Please also let me know if you have a reaction so that I may note it for my record keeping.
