Organic natural brand Rich Hippie has launched Marijuana, a new fragrance for women.
This sweet and seductive floral scent is created by artfully blending crushed Madagascan ylang ylang petals and rose geranium petals with Italian petitgrain to create a scent so hypnotic that you just might find yourself attracting an army of admirers.
Ylang ylang, with its sweet floral scent and a delicate touch of sensual spiciness, is the perfect top note for this perfume and is beautifully balanced out with the crisp rose geranium and the citrusy olfactory treat from petitgrain.
This is one fragrance that is bound to get you attention and leave a wake of addicts in your trail! And of course, unlike an A-lister’s drug habit this is one little dose of marijuana that’s going to get you noticed for all the right reasons – as being someone in the know and ahead of the trend.
Rich Hippie Marijuana is available in 5 ml Eau de Parfum roll-on, $35.

RH has been along how long and they’re just now coming out with a scent called Marijuana? And whoever wrote the ad copy needs a little reminder course in tact. 😯
I’m likewise sort of surprised they didn’t already have one.
*around not along.
I don’t like the naming of this or the legitimizing a fragrance named Marijuana.
When you see the destruction wrought upon Mexican people by drug cartels and smuggling, this is offensive. No one would put up with a fragrance called Bloody Cocaine, or Decapitated Heroin. It would just be in terribly poor taste, just like this is.
i think you are over dramatizing things. its not in poor taste. they are just trying to say the scent will be addictive, like a drug. nobody is advocating drug use, or gang violence, or any such thing by naming a fragrance Marijuana. thats like saying the author of any book with Murder in the title thinks serial killers actions are completely justified.
The Nasomatto line has nearly all of their fragrances named after drugs(including China White which is in fact slang for Herion), and people do put up with it, because its simply a name and nothing more.
Actually Decapitated Heroin or Bloody Cocaine sound like they would be BPAL oil scents probably in a horror /slasher/thriller line.
Like it or no, drug references in perfume are ubiquitous — Nasomatto is just one example. Dior Addict caused a huge stir when it launched, but now most people don’t even notice this sort of thing.
(Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, just saying it’s a lost cause)
One word: Opium. Okay, another word: Poison.
Actually, I also think that the name is in very poor taste, and very off-putting, as are the names of the Nasomatto perfumes. Most likely, however, that is the entire point. A certain segment of the market will be motivated to buy this just for the association with an illicit substance, even though it would appear that neither the ingredients, nor the smell, have anything to do with marijuana, other than the purported “addictive” quality. I personally would not buy a perfume with a name like Marijuana or Cocaine or Heroin just on principle–but then I am obviously not part of their target market. Besides, what on earth could I say if someone asked me for the name of my perfume?
Makeup company MAC and the designers for Rodarte were collaborating on a LE make up line inspired by Ciudad, Juarez, Mexico but had to scrap it because the it was too politically controversial. The color names of the products (Juarez, Ghost Town, Factory) were too negative in connotation, I guess. An opinion is an opinion and not a fact. I don’t like it when I see people’s creativity and dreams being censored and crushed.
The scent notes sound nice but the name is awkward to admit to .
Any spelling errors -I’m pre-coffee and have a head cold.
Oh dear, hope you feel better! My son had a head cold all weekend but was miraculously better this morning.
Subtle, guys. Subtle.
🙂
How does it smell?
I haven’t smelled it.
So this doesn’t actually smell like marijuana, but is just addictive/pleasurable like it? I agree with the others who find the name offensive, but I also find it confusing.
Correct!
Dont Fresh have a scent called Cannabis (prob wrong spelling)? And there seem to be a lot of Hemp products out there too- what is the problem with one more?
Haha that’s what I’m thinking, this one is offensive but that one is OK because it comes in a bottle that also says “FRESH”! I actually have Cannabis Santal and find it smells nothing like either but still very good. Like a very pale and muted and mainstream Musc Ravageur.
I am a medical cannabis patient. It has given me my life back! And you find the mention of marijuana OFFENSIVE?? I pray you never need this plant.
The United States holds the PATENT on “marijuana’s neuro-protective and anti-inflammatory properties”. Research Patent # 6630507
Thus there is nothing about cannabis that should be considered “illicit”. The fact that they patented a medical use for it proves it has no legal basis for being listed as a schedule one drug. But, alas, they want to have it both ways.. with the drug companies backing them .
I find it a stupid name for a fragrance that has no cannabis in it, but not buying it due to a name that you have been brainwashed to hate, is silly. I’d wear it and tell anyone that asks exactly what it is.
Why should we patients have to face this stigma??
Julie, I think cannabis sativa ought to be legalized. It is a plant, just like tobacco, grapes, potatoes, coffee and blue agave. What we do with it (and how we treat people) is what matters most. I agree it is kind of dumb to name a fragrance Marijuana if there is no cannabis fragrance in it. Good luck with your treatments–I send thoughts of healing and peace.
AbdesSalaam has a fragrance called Cannabis.
Just a quibble, but the proper adjective for something/someone from Madagascar is “Malagasy,” not “Madagascan.”
I’d buy it if it smelled good. Considering the name of the company is Rich Hippie, I’m not surprised–especially given the names of their other frags–this one came along. The name doesn’t suit the listed notes at all, but I usually just wear fragrance for me and don’t mind silly names since I didn’t come up with them. Though telling someone I’m wearing Sexual Sugar does rate about a 3 on the Embarrass-O-Meter. 😉 Yeah, it is a little tacky, and comparing itself to the habits of an A-list celebrity doesn’t exactly make me want to buy it, but if it smells good then who cares about the spin…
