The Watercolor Collection

A collection inspired by color and my love for art.  What inspires you?

 Five luscious richly saturated fragrances that celebrate the beauty of color.  Welcome back two past favorites, Pink Amber Sunset and Ombre in Blue, the two fragrances that this collection was built around.  Whether is is the warm, soft tropical notes of Pink Amber Sunset or the cool, subdued tones of Ombre in Blue, these are such amazing, unique fragrances that just seem like the perfect fragrances for colors.  I added three brand new fragrances to finish up this collection.  Jasmine Sun, is in my opinion the one of the most wonder jasmine fragrances with its highlighting notes of lemon and sweet raspberry sugar.  Pink Vanilla Blush is a fun, innocent, and playful vanilla fragrance and finally Shades of Rain with a mysterious fresh modern tone of rain, moss, and sweet water.

Shades of Rain Perfume The Watercolor Collection by Wylde Ivy
Shades of Rain

The Scent
The sweet fresh ozone fragrance of water and emerald green moss kissed by white bergamot, raspberry leaf, jasmine, and aloe water.

The Story
She preferred the rain.  She longed to linger in it's cool solitude. How she loved the way the sweet water dropped down from the rain heavy leaves, smacking and pattering the ground and throwing off tiny drops that sparkled like thrown jewels among the white flowers.  The drowned sound and accented the fragrances and all around her the ordinary colors were painted in the shades of rain.



Pink Vanilla Blush Perfume The Watercolor Collection by Wylde Ivy

The Scent
Clean, sweet, and innocently alluring.  White vanilla with a blush of wild strawberry, violet jelly, and sparkling citron.
 The Story
She plucked at the memories as her mind conjured them...the rolling sweet grass meadows dotted with wildflowers, the distant peal of joyous laughing, the warm caress of the hazy summer sun, the impossibly heavy looking cotton candy clouds strung motionless in a blue sky, his smile...always his smile.  She called the memories and as they came the colors flowed from her, her brush, to the paper in the palest of pink at first than deeper, richer and then finally all of the colors came in a wash of beauty, happiness, and surrender.


Pink Amber Sunset Perfume The Watercolor Collection by Wylde Ivy

The Scent
Warm, delicate, and inviting. A pink sand beach awash with the rich pink tinged light of the setting sun. Demure white amber crystals, creamy fresh coconut, light vanilla cream, and a hint of pink hibiscus, starfruit, and warm sugar musk.
The Story
Forgotten, dusty, and sad, it sat in the corner of a lonely stall at the antique shop where she found herself inexplicably drawn to it. An unassuming beach scene, just a small stretch of sand, water, and tropical trees washed in the pink and orange tinge of the setting sun.  It was a simple and almost plain painting and yet there was something about it that called to her.  She moved closer and the details were amazing.   The water almost glistened, the leaves almost swayed, it was as if she could feel the warmth of the sand and smell the sweet tropical air.  Mesmerized, she reached out and instead of brushing a paint coated canvas, her fingers seemed to slide right out of sight.  She felt a sway and a pull and then opened her eyes to the impossible.

Ombre in Blue Perfume by Wylde Ivy Watercolor Collection


The Scent
Cool and mysterious, sweet vanilla heliotrope and delicate jasmine immersed in tonka bean, fresh bergamot, mandarin peel, and all spun with a wash of blue sugar musk.
The Story
She could always see magic.  Long before she even knew what it was, she a could see shades of blue in unexpected places.  Azure sparkled around a genuine smiles.  A mothers love was always surround by a haze of shimmering lapis.  Secrets were  cloaked in indigo.   Once, without thinking, she reached out to touch a particularly beautiful teal swirling around a child who was completely engrossed in an old dogeared book.  The instant her finger made contact with the color, the blue broke over her hand, spilling down her arm like a overflowing glass of water.   Soon she found that she could collect the magic. She could collect blue.  From that day on she borrowed hues of blue and gave away magic wherever she went.


Jasmine Sun Perfume by Wylde Ivy

 The Scent
Sweet, rich, and intoxicating jasmine with a sunny twist.  Demure jasmine petals with a sparkling touch of raspberry soaked lemon zest.

The Story
...and they sat, with their backs together relaxed into one another as they had not done since they were small girls.  Chins upturned to the summer sky, the east wind perfumed with sun warmed jasmine swirling around them.  Breathing out together, it began to happen.

Discover Boho Dreams

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.
