Indie perfume house Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has launched Uptown Moonshine {Holiday no.18}.
New Years Eve, Harlem, 1924
The snow sparkles in the moonlight almost as much as the beads on the ladies dresses and the slicked back hair of the pomade laden gentlemen making their way to the speakeasy to ring in the new year. Inside, the room is filled with dancing, merry making, and the scents of smoke and whiskey; it is a flapper’s paradise. The intoxicating elixir of sensuality, sophistication, and hopefulness for what the new year will bring is palpable. We become immersed in it, and revel in its excitement.Fast forward> 2018
Harlem is once again a place filled with excitement for the future; high design, start-ups, and restored brownstones populate this new ‘Uptown’. At the whiskey bar around the corner, the elegant and sexy fill the room with exhalations of the hottest local ‘moonshine’ blended by expert mixologists. The eternal cycle comes back around: what was old becomes new again.Uptown Moonshine is a modern whiskey and tobacco fragrance balanced with hints of oakwood, amber, and brown sugar. The note structure melds beautifully to create a scent that’s perfect for men and women alike. The gourmand elements open up as the fragrance wears to reveal a woody-floral, smoky-sweet quality in the drydown.
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Uptown Moonshine is available in a variety of concentrations, sizes and formats, for more information see the website.

ooooooooh……this sounds really good!
100% agree.
Wanna nitpick that the Cotton Club folks would probably smell of Chanel. Schiaparelli and such, that they drank gin, cognac and sparkling wine, but nah, let’s not – not when the notes sound so wonderful!
Well, I’ll agree — historical accuracy is besides the point.
I don’t need any more boozy fragrances, except this one ????
LOL! Sounds like you were tackled by a very large lemming!
I’m gonna wait for a discount code that usually comes out in early December, I think. I then need to wade through the website.
sparkle2018, lower case sensitive, 20% off now until January I don’t remember when but now is good anyway ????
Thank you!
