New York City, 1927. The jazz was hot, the gin was cold, and everything illegal tasted better.
Beneath the butcher shop on Delancey Street, down a staircase lit by a single red bulb, there was a place called The Velvet Finch. You didn’t find it unless someone trusted you enough to slip you the password. That night, it was “pineapple.” No one knew why, and no one asked.
Inside, the air was thick with cigarette smoke and trumpet wails. Flappers in sequins laughed too loudly. Men in pinstripes talked in low tones about big scores and bad bets. Behind the mahogany bar, Frankie “Four-Fingers” Malone poured whiskey like it was holy water.
He noticed her the moment she walked in—hair like polished copper, a dress that shimmered like danger, and eyes that told you she didn’t come here to be saved. She dropped into a stool and tapped a nail on the counter.
“Rough night?” Frankie asked, already reaching for the bottle.
She smiled, thin and tired. “Rough decade.”
He poured her a double without another word.
She took a long sip, exhaled slowly, and looked around the room like the world had tilted. “Funny thing is,” she said, “I came here with something important to say. Something urgent. A question I needed answered.”
Frankie leaned on the bar. “You remember what it was?”
She looked at her glass, then back at him. “Not even a little.”
“Then you’re in the right place,” he said. “'Cause whiskey’s the answer.”
She raised an eyebrow. “To what?”
Frankie shrugged. “Does it matter?”
She grinned, this time like a woman remembering how. “I suppose not.”
The band played louder, the crowd laughed harder, and the night slipped on like a silk glove. Somewhere upstairs, the city kept pretending it didn’t know what was going on beneath its feet.
But down in The Velvet Finch, nobody cared about the questions. As long as the whiskey kept flowing, the answers didn’t matter anyway.

Directions:
For the body oil: apply to wrists and other pulse points. As your body heat warms up the oil, the scent will release. Oil based fragrances are heavier than sprays and wear closer to your body. Reapply as often as needed. We use light dry oils so that the oil base absorbs more quickly into your skin, leaving no oily or sticky residue.
For the spray: our sprays are alcohol based for a larger burst of fragrance upon applying. We do not use any synthetic additives in our products to increase longevity of our scents (making our products more natural for you to wear), so please reapply as needed. Please note: some people are more sensitive to alcohol based products, please test prior to normal use.
Ingredients in oils: organic jojoba oils, phthalate free fragrance and essential oils, and organic vitamin E oil. May contain isopropyl myristate.
Ingredients in sprays: denatured or grain alcohol, phthalate free fragrance and essential oils.
Warning: Spray is flammable! Do not use sprays near open flame or heat source! Do not ingest! Keep away from eyes, nose, and mouth. Keep away from children and pets. Do not apply oils to fabrics, may stain.
All skin types and body types are different, please test on a small area of skin prior to normal use. If reaction occurs, immediately discontinue use. If you are worried about allergies, please contact us for a complete list of ingredients/scents used in a particular product.
