You asked.......I complied.....resistance was futile......yes, I watch too much Star Trek.
Anywayyyyyyy.....
These are your new scents that you will see featured very shortly in PB products. The Wonderland collection is now retired and we are selling off the last few bits.
Phoenix Noir
This scent is in honour of a dear friend's coming baby boy who is to be named Phoenix. Merry meet, little man.....may the Goddess bless your arrival into this world!
Exotic black pomegranate, spices, oriental resins, sacred sage, redwoods, dark marine notes, a touch of intoxicating frangipani and a spike of dragon's blood. This is all sprinkled with a witch's blessing of health, strength, protection & love.
Miss Katrina
Named for the smiliest and most lovely lady back home. This was her scent idea and I've run with it. Katrina, I hope I did this justice for you.
The scent: Three types of ripe oranges~ mandarin,Florida fresh squeezed and exotic Spanish blood oranges are softened with Bourbon and Madagascar vanillas which is all spiked with the those most delicious buttered mint! The result is an amazingly sexy scent that will get you nibbled if not attacked by the hunk (or babe) of your choice!
Sugar Violet Dreams
Nicola....I'm looking at you, honey! This one is right up your alley!
The scent: Parma violets blended with fluffy marshmallow creme, sugared white cake, a touch of sugary bubblegum & almond cream. This is all folded into the most beautiful and softest touch of baby powder.
Madagascar Rose
Another scent inspired by two of my best selling scents. I've taken Queen's Rose Garden with it's varied rose notes, green grass, and herbs and blended it with my Madagascar Vanilla Angel scent....the result. A stunning blend caramelized vanilla scented roses with a touch of greenery.
Marrakesh Magick
This one is for my Caz whom I love dearly! She sends me fudge from the Shetlands, coffee from New Orleans and the Middle East....and is always there with that winning smile and witty words.
The scent: A souq marketplace alive with resins, spices, incense, a touch of smoke and dry dusty earth. Take all that and mix it with black pomegranate, earthy fig and some dark red wine....and you have magick!
Druid Gathering
This is for lovely Kate & Sarah who never fail to make me smile and I luvs them both muchly! The druids of yore have come to gather in the sacred wood following a crashing thunderstorm.
The scent: Deep dark wet soil, moss & lichen give forth their musty scent, rotting old felled trees and forest ferns & grasses touched with a very light scent of crushed wildflowers.
Lemon Brulee
This is just because I love lemon and when you combine that with creme brulee custard...well it is full of win! The scent: freshly squeezed tart Spanish lemons combined with the softer lemony scent of sherbert lemons folded into a rich vanilla bean spiked custard that has been sprinkled liberally with demarara sugar and broiled until it melts into a hard caramel crust. Yum!!
In Process:
Greek Holiday ( for Karen)
Filthy Rich-? (for Miss Beth in Nawlins)
Cowboy (for Ken)
Cymraeg Ardda~Welsh Garden (for Lucy)
New Scents coming...
It's just a teaser....we have a new perfumery......no real announcement on that yet. These are currently on for pre-sale at Alchemy Perfume http://www.alchemyperfume.com/ but the site has not officially launched yet.
You'll be seeing these scents soon enough....
Alchemy Elixir #1
The elixir of life, also known as the elixir of immortality and sometimes equated with the philosopher's stone, is a legendary potion, or drink, that grants the drinker eternal life or eternal youth. Many practitioners of alchemy pursued it. The elixir of life was also said to be able to create life.
We make no such claims.....all we know is this scent is just so damn good! The pulse quickens on this one!
The scent:
Honey-sweetened patchouli, sacred forest greens, a touch of loamy earth, 5 types of rose, ripenened peaches, red berries, amber, Bourbon vanilla, and blood orange notes.
Alchemy Elixir Fuschia
We've taken our Alchemy Elixir #1 and softened it a tad with some girly glittery pink sugar and hot pink lipstick!
Potion Noir
It's not quite a potion de amour.....more like a HOT, dark, sexy encounter with a swarthy dark-eyed man up against the wall in the alley outside a nightclub......not that *I* would know anything about these sorts of things. Just sayin'.....
The scent:
Black vanilla, Baltic amber, darkened honeycomb,brown sugar, sex musk, patchouli, & crushed silk.
Booty Call de Homme

The scent:
Sexy amber, dark patchouli, Egyptian musk, sex musk, a touch of sweaty leather, dark rich woods, a touch of sacred sage, exotic tonka bean, single malt whiskey, sambuca liquor,Carolina sweetgrass & pheromones.
Booty Call la Femme

The scent:
A mysterious blend of Asian resins, woods and incense. Unisex scent.
Siren's Call
Cornelius a Lapide said of Woman, "her glance is that of the fabled basilisk, her voice a siren's voice—with her voice she enchants, with her beauty she deprives of reason—voice and sight alike deal destruction and death." I'd say that poor guy had come under the influence of some pretty powerful feminine ways at some point, eh? All I can say is this scent could also be called man bait!
The scent:
Sexy amber & white musk blend beautifully with ripe red berries, honeycomb toffee, 3 types of vanilla, rich sweet mango, papaya & mandarin.
Regency Jewel
When I think of all of the great ladies and beauties of history.....I always end up in the Regency era. There were so many I felt the need to create a scent to honour these amazing women. I have taken a traditional blend that was a popular and closely guarded secret of French perfumers and added my own touches.
The scent:
A soft but heady blend of florals such as frangipani, English rose, violet, Lily of the Valley, night blooming jasmine, osmanthus, and Calla lily; beautifully blended with rich ripe fruits of apricot, peach, mango and manadarin all softened with a touch of almond milk and powdery silks.
Betrothed
For those that are hopelessly in love with the commitment-phobe-type man. This a beautiful and enchanting blend of florals & fruits that are *known* to put that fella in just the right frame of mind to make that ultimate commitment. Not the marriage type yourself?? No worries....it will keep him close...very close.
*Witchery may or may not have been involved with this blend* (grins)
The scent:
Secret but utterly enchanting.....featuring such things as magnolia, orange blossoms, gardenia, and ripe fruits. Sorry, I can't divulge it all.....there be many many spies afoot!
Goddess Groove
This is just a FUN and sexy scent! The Goddess herself would LOVE this. Perfect for anytime wear and very summery.
The scent:
Wild forest flowers, crushed grasses, earth & resins blended with summer berries, tart apple,pomegranate, melon and a green spike of witchy herbs.
Cathouse Blooms
This is exactly the kind of scent you'd want for all your 'after hours' kinda activities.....impossibly sexy and not AT ALL innocent...in fact, innocence done left town......ages ago!
The scent:
Sexy sexy musks, crushed flower petals, Madagascar vanilla, exotic resins and a touch of smoked honey.
Where to start?!
It is always at this time of year that I start making my grand plans for kicking the proverbial butt of the following year.
This has been such a rollercoaster for me on both a personal level and a professional one. Posh Brats celebrated it's first year in business, opened a retail store, became a distributor for two major bath & body lines and enjoyed huge growth.
I am just proud as can be and needless to say a bit overwhelmed too!
Right now we are up to our eyeballs with holiday orders (already!!) and making sure all our ducks are in order to keep things flowing smoothly.
We are also finalizing details on our new retail location opening in Knutsford in January. This has been a long long saga that began back in March 09, when I decided a move to another location was necessary.
My American mind still has a hard time getting around just how LONG it takes to do anything in the UK. The myriad of red tape, paperwork, meetings, meetings about having meetings, etc can be exhausting. SO, the finding of a new location then securing that location is now tantamount to my idea of hell. I look forward to a time when I can hire someone to do that sort of thing for me.
The past months have seen me behind the scenes developing my own product line. It's nowhere near completion...one hurdle at a time.....but it IS coming in the new year. I have been busy tweaking recipes, researching, and planning. I love the lines I carry and I believe in them but I am very aware that the only thing that will push Posh Brats over the edge into big business is to have our own line of products.
Thankfully my years and background spent in the beauty industry has assisted me greatly BUT the main source of inspiration in this journey are the customers. I have some dedicated product testers that are brutally honest with me and that is priceless!
So...... watch this space because I will be making announcements soon regarding the new retail space!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Villainess' Silk and Cyanide Soap - a bloke's view
I have been kindly allowed to squat in the Posh Brats blog by Brittany and write about one of my favourite new products - Villainess' Silk and Cyanide soap.
Often referred to as my favourite drug of choice, Silk and Cyanide has provided me with many hours of wonderful company in the shower.
Now, being a bloke, I am not ashamed to declare my love of this soap and also being a bloke, I can say this devotion (almost obsession according to some) is based on some well observed facts, of which I shall try and write down in a logical manner.
1. It is made from all natural ingredients
2. It smells great
3. It feels great on my face
4. Oh, and it smells great.
In truth the biggest plus for me is that it has cured my face of horrible ingrowing hairs which I get if I don't shave for a couple of days - which for me is often as I like to grow a bit of the 'ol designer stubble.
So there you have it. From having a face that was tarnished with enough spots at times to make a teenager look in disgust to nothing in a month.
I would not class myself as a metrosexual or label myself with any other tag that is conveniently hoisted on us for marketing purposes; all I am is a simple bloke who has found his definition of soap heaven.
