Perfumer’s Spotlight: Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch “CaFleureBon Legacy LTD ED Collection (Forbidden, The Maj and Antimony + 20% Discount Store Wide

Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch

Perfumer Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch is well-known and well-loved in the fragrance community. She works with both an all-natural and mixed-media palette. While many bloggers have had the pleasure of working with Christi “creatively”, I was honored to be the first when I invited a few Sr. Pefumers at that time (2011) to take part in  The Natural Perfume Guild “The Thirteenth Sign” aka Ophiuchus,  inspired by my discovery that "Oh“F* us",  those of us born between November 29-and December 19 weren’t a Sagittarius anymore.

Christi created her break-through fragrance Forbidden in 2011, a boozy tuberose with ‘forbidden” absinthe that captivated many fragrance lovers including Donatella Versace.  Former Natural Perfume Editor John Reasinger was instrumental in encouraging Christi to launch 2013's all natural The MAJ based on majmua attars of India. For our 7th year Anniversary:Project Talisman, Christi composed the mesmerizing magical smoky eye beauty that is Antimony, with 111 ingredients and commemorative cartouche. House of Matriarch was the first natural perfume collection to be  stocked at Nordstrom. 

Recently Director David Lynch licensed the Wonderful and Strange Trio created for the 25th anniversary of Twin Peaks. She is a scent star!!! – –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

So in keeping with Christi’s creativity and loving spirit she wrote me, “Your inspiration has sparked so much creativity- when I was first starting out I got discouraged and almost gave up – your first review of my perfumes many years ago filled my sails with inspiration which kept me going. Last night I created twenty incredible gift sets to honor our years of collaboration.  I'm calling it “House of Matriarch: A CaFleureBon Legacy." (Click this link to view)  It features three perfumes that were inspired by YOU, Michelyn, as Editor-in-Chief and advocate of all perfumers, especially American.  This set is a tangible manifesto of the effect you, your blog, your writers and your readers have had on my work and me personally over the past seven years.

    Thank you, Christi!!! My favorite thus far is Trillium – wore it yesterday morning!

  • Christi is such a gifted perfumer! I got hooked on her line a few years ago, when I fell in love with The Maj and Carmine, oh and Ambre Vie and Forbidden and actually almost every one that she made. I look forward to try her new ones that I don’t know yet. Thank you for the discounts!
