Wylde Ivy Artisan Fragrance: A fresh, modern floral with a sheer tropical twist with notes of bergamot, pink orange, Tahitian Tiare flowers, delicate tuberose, dewy jasmine, spring greens, blonde woods, fresh coconut milk, on a bed of sheer blue musk.



 She dreams always in shades of blue. Endless stretches of deep blue summer skies, hung with mounds of impossibly heaving looking clouds.  Sheer blue tropical waters as clear as glass.  His eyes....his eyes, blue as glinting sapphires.  Eyes that have always held her, in dreams and waking, in memories and wishes.

A fresh, modern floral with a sheer tropical twist with notes of bergamot, pink orange, Tahitian Tiare flowers, delicate tuberose, dewy jasmine, spring greens, blonde woods, fresh coconut milk, on a bed of sheer blue musk.



 She walks silently, her fingers trailing delicately over the soft tips of deep forest fern.  The trees above shift and release a miniature deluge of raindrops that patter they way down to nestle among the small leaves of the hidden glen. As suddenly as it started, all is soundless again.  She closes her eyes and breathes in the fragrance of emerald and dew, new and old.

Sweet nuances of delicate unfurled fern fronds, the cool essence of the deep forest, dewy oakmoss, sweet heliotrope, white oak, crushed bergamot, and a sweet whisper of lemon leaf.



 She slides into the water, the crispness stealing her breath for a moment. She glides over the still surface, then rolls onto her back and floats. She sees the leaves above, sunlight jumping from leaf to leaf as it makes its way down through the canopy to drip small spots of golden warmth into the water. Small flying things swarm the water’s edge, light glistening from their gossamer wings. Emerald moss cascades down the bank eager to touch the water with a thousand tiny toes. Ferns unfurled to the world. Bunches of wild violets dance gently together in an unfeeling breeze. She floats, her dress billowing around her. There is no sound, only weightlessness and the cool fragrance of green.
A modern, fresh dewy blend of lush green plants and sweet nectar.
Notes of: fresh cut aloe, sweet prickly pear, cucumber tonic, wild violets, agave nectar, willow, and water lotus.





Kisses that linger secretly on the skin, dreams that cling to eyelashes blinking against the morning light, gossamer wishes that whispered to the stars.

Sweet, warm, and innocently alluring.  Notes of white freesia, faded cotton, pure white vanilla, southern magnolia, wild violets, blackberry brambles, and dainty sugar cubes.







 She walks through the gate were lilac blooms lay heavily over an aged white washed fence releasing their sweet spring perfume into the breeze. Unseen birds sing in hidden places as they throw the cold thoughts of winter behind them. The spring sun is a shy kiss on her cheeks and shoulders. The garden is new and wild and free with the hope of sun and growth, like her mind.

A clean and gentle white wood fragrance sweetened slightly with a whisper of floral and the fresh nip of citrus. Notes of sun warmed blonde woods, lilac nectar, jasmine petals, bergamot, and lily of the valley.

Wylde Ivy Covid Shop Updates

It seems like we all are waking up everyday to a very different world.  So many of us are facing rapidly changing circumstances and too many unknowns.

Though our county and even our neighboring counties here in Pennsylvania are just starting to feel the reach of Covid 19, our state has taken early preventive measures.  Even with the measures in place, Wylde Ivy is able to operate as usual at this time.  I am able to self quarantine, lucky that my workshop is attached to my home.  Still, I am taking extra precautions when preparing and packaging orders.  I am preforming extra cleaning of working surfaces and tools throughout the day, in both my prep room and my shipping room and gloves are worn during every stage of order packaging (in addition to product manufacturing).  I am closed to local pickups at this time.  I will continued to monitor the national situation and guidelines set by the CDC, USPS, etc.

One thing out of my control will be availability of supplies.  I fully anticipate running into shortages and delivery interruptions of raw ingredients as well as packaging items.  I will do my best to keep stocked and will make changes as necessary to keep products available for as long as possible.  Some packaging may change temporarily in the coming weeks and product availability may change rapidly.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and try to do a little something to help your community...even if it is simply some positive words or thoughts.  My own thoughts go out to all affected by the events.

Here we go again...Wylde Ivy Closed Due to Flooding

Those who have been with me a long time might remember the flood in 2006 that destroyed my workshop.  We learned so much from that experience, we made plans, we were prepared.  We always watched rainfall totals and river levels, we always organized and prepared for a quick clean out and evacuation of the workshops.  We always knew to take action long before the situation got dire.  We've had some minor flooding annoyances since 2006, nothing even really to pause my business more than a couple of days.

Well, we just experienced something we never even thought of....a flash flood.  Unprecedented rainfall north of us came slamming into our workshops Monday.  We were just shy of four feet of water this time...half of 2006.  The only difference this time was that we had less than an hour from the time we got the alert to having the carry our kids and dog out on our backs.  Both my husband and I were able to get the important items moved from our workshops.  I never moved so fast in my life and my daughters were such a huge and amazing help.  I'm happy to learn that they are calm and focused during a disaster situation....though they still were much more delighted to see the river running down our street than we were.  They meet everything they see with the glittering eyes and adventurous wonder of childhood...for which I am grateful.

The water has already receded and we are in the process of removing walls and cleaning.  I will be closed for the next few days.  We were only home from vacation one day when the flooding hit (thankfully we were home!).  Yesterday was to be my first day back to work after my vacation.  I still have outstanding orders that I will fill as soon as possible.  Everyone with a pending order has been contacted.   

Thank you all for your patience!
