 34 Bohemian Cafes is a jaunt into the cover of the coffeehouses and subterranean clubs, an experience of the spatial affection of bebop and the enlightenment of poetry. You are at once observer and participant from the shelter of your seat in the cafe with an open invitation to the stage. Bohemian body heat warms the room around you while conversation and the rhythms of jazz fluctuate about your consciousness. Write poetry, play a long game of chess, smoke and talk until the late hours of early morning; if this joint closes you don’t have to go home.

 Girl of the Year is an exploration into the private enclaves of the woman, off film, away from parties, protected from the flash of the camera. It is the quiet moments between calls and engagements, the space reserved for nestling into your memories. Artifacts of a life being lived populate your space, untidy and endearing: the leather jacket left behind by a lover lazily draped on the sofa, your vanity clumsy with perfumes and jewelry, the littered ashtray on your windowsill. Every article of clothing and tube of lipstick a talisman of self expression and protection becomes a souvenir of the moment, iconic of an era. From the solitude of your dressing table, you stare at your reflection with no one else to see. The phone rings.

​An ode to iconic rock club on the Sunset Strip. Dark, electric, and little bit drunk. A groupie nuzzles into an intoxicated rock god backstage; they swig spicy warm bourbon from the bottle together and her girlish scent swirls about the sweaty room. The red stage lights burn hot lighting up the beautiful faces in the smoky crowd. The base thumps from the stage rattling the old, sticky, wooden bar.

Bedroom window open, the sounds of a record playing in the distance floats through the trees, swirling with the sound of an acoustic guitar strumming in the next room. The smell of your lover lingers on your pillow, while their voice carries from the kitchen mixing with the laughter of friends who crashed last night. The faint smell of a freshly lit joint creeps under your door dancing with the patchouli on your silk scarves.  A breeze blows in the dry woody canyon air drenching your room with golden sunlight.

 If these walls could talk. Inspired by the end of an era, memories of the 60s were still echoing into the next decade. Led Zeppelin’s stay in 1968, Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski’s residence until February of 1969, and Jim Morrison’s last hurrah in 1970. Your bungalow is adorned with roses, alive and wilting. You are enveloped in crisp hotel linens, dirtied by last nights romp. The vintage furniture’s wood smell permeates the room, steam creeps from beneath the bathroom door while your lover showers.

Named after the Malibu beach and the year Neil Young released his album of the same name. It’s jasmine season in LA and you’re taking sunset all the way to the ocean.

about us

Cathleen Cardinali, Anthony Polcino of Thin Wild Mercury

So thin wild.

Thin Wild Mercury is a fine fragrance line encapsulating the iconic spirit of Los Angeles.  In a 1966 interview with Playboy, Bob Dylan described his yet-to-be-released seminal album Blonde on Blonde as having "...that thin, that wild mercury sound." While Dylan found the inspiration for this spirited description of his work through his band's lively, uninhibited performances of it at the time, ours is rooted in the illustrious history of Los Angeles; its renowned neighborhoods and hangouts and the nowadays fabled eras of its vibrant lifespan – told aromatically.

Our fragrances are made in the famed city's Los Feliz Village neighborhood.  Cathleen Cardinali is a veteran luxury retailer turned perfumer via LA's Institute for Art and Olfaction and an insatiable drive to tastefully create something that did not yet exist but had the feeling of a classic.  Anthony Polcino is a lifelong musician turned designer via many multi-faceted years in the "east-side" scene and the relentless need to see to it that ideas become realities. Together they realized Thin Wild Mercury through a simple, traditional ethos of the masters: do it yourself. TWM's fragrances are like nuanced stories redolent of particular places and times of the past eloquently told by musings from the present. The result is something like a state of mind for the senses – for anywhere, anytime.
