Hey Fellas: The Motley Launches New Scent

August 15, 2014

As I step into the artsy fartsy LINE Hotel in Koreatown and up to the Apartment Suite, I’m greeted by The Motley crew for the launch of the new Cyprus scent. Prior to the event, I wasn’t quite familiar with the brand, but after a few whiffs, I was sold.

The Motley has a fragrance for every discerning man’s taste. Within the family of fragrances, “There’s a scent for every season,” said partner, Darren Criss. And with the launch of Cyprus, It brings to mind the mingling of saltwater, dry pine needles, ambergris and cedar with more unexpected notes like ginger and the smell of traditional shaving cream (great for fall or winter). For the cologne-wearer who prefers a clean, woodsy scent to darker, heavier fragrances. Like all colognes from The Motley, Cyprus is hand-compounded and poured in LA by artisanal perfumer Jacqueline Steele of Goest perfumes.
