Rich Hippie: Bliss

Last summer, while shopping in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with my mom, I discovered what has become one of my favorite perfumes: Rich Hippie.

Deliciously paradoxical in name, Rich Hippie is a line of organic scents. The company has been featured in Elle, British Vogue, and Body & Soul, among other magazines. And rightly so. With over 2o different perfumes (including 4 unisex scents) with titles like Maharishi, Bohemian Wedding, Wild Thing, Marrakech and Woodstock, the $65 vials are a heady blast from the past that my generation never got to experience.

Applying Bliss, my Rich Hippie scent of choice (which are rolled on, not spritzed), onto a wrist or behind an ear is a quick thrill, a musky post-shower reminder of all things naughty and forbidden. I'm not saying Rich Hippie is sex in a bottle, but there is something dirty about all the scents. Even though Bliss is one of the milder, sweeter perfumes, it still contains outdoorsy notes of dirt, hay, flowers and joints.

If you don't have the $65 to spare, but want to bring out your inner hippie, try the $15-20 sample bottles offered online.
