New Perfume: House of Matriarch “The Wonderful and Strange Liquid Trio” (Christi Meshell) 2017 + 25th Anniversary of Twin Peaks Draw

Twin Peaks Final Episode 29: Agent Cooper (Kyle McLaughlin) and Killer Bob (Frank Silva)

One of the greatest and most thought-provoking shows I remember being addicted to  (before binge watching was even a term) was the surreal T.V. series Twin Peaks, which debuted April 8, 1990. It was only on for two seasons; it was so ahead of its time, so shocking and disturbing, that the network (ABC) cancelled it.

Twin Peaks population 51, 201 (original series)

Set in a small Northwestern town (population 51, 201) it still is considered  to be one of the best murder mysteries to air on prime time and has a cult following. On May 21, SHOWTIME is bringing it back, 25 years later, as a limited edition series of 18 episodes.

 Sherilyn Flynn as Audrey Horne who also worked behind Horne’s Perfume Counter

David Lynch, the director of the original show, along with Kyle McLaughlin (Agent Cooper)  and many in the cast will be pick up where the original series left off. Since some of our readers may have been pre-teens when the show debuted, the plot revolved around the unsolved murder of Laura Palmer, the troubled young woman employed at the perfume counter of Horne’s Department Store.

Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch

Perfume counter…Pacific Northwest… enter Christi Meshell of House of Matriarch who has never forgotten the haunting chords of the famous soundtrack, and the song Falling, which for so many of us super-fans, have kept the show alive throughout the years.

Over the years, Christi has returned to this soundtrack again and again; it was the music more than the plot that inspired her new limited edition perfume trio “The Wonderful and Strange”. Coincidently, she lives near the Snoqualmie Forest where the series was filmed and has a deep connection to how those dark woods smell. When Christi saw a video of Angelo Badalamenti, recounting the story of how he and David Lynch sat together at his piano to co-compose the famous soundtrack, Christi began to imagine the aromas which seemed to accompany the famous question still being asked:  “Who killed Laura Palmer?”

FUTURE’S PAST: Enter the enchanted forest at its darkest – and brightest.  Sandarac, tamarack and balsam set a deep and haunting baseline as a minor chord of Snoqualmie Forest evergreens beckon and owl feathers flutter above the damp earth.

99% Natural.

  

THE RED ROOM: Deep and haunting – a powerful chord of western red cedar heartwood with melodic overtures of black currant over a baseline of leather, copaiba and incense.  Yes, this is a red perfume, naturally colored by the red cedar heartwood.  

100% Natural.

   

WORLD OF BLUE: Base notes of oud and natural heliotropin (both forbidden and rare) provide structure for the minor chord of coumarinic, deer tongue, blue lotus and elder.  A cloud of powdery iris beurre imparts a melancholy dreaminess.

99% Natural.

LIMITED EDITION:100 Trio Sets, Signed and Numbered with Collector’s Presentation

100 Individual Vials of Each Perfume with Collector’s Presentation  

 Editor’s Note: 13% of the proceeds from the sale of the Wonderful & Strange Trio will be donated to the David Lynch Foundation for consciousness based education and world peace.

    My family watched twin Peaks every Saturday, then immediately did conference calling to discuss the episode. The whole cast was brilliant, but Audrey Horne was extra-special. The World of Blue scent sounds especially intriguing, though the Red Room sounds like it has major potential. I live in the US.

  • Meredith House says:

    OH MY GOD! I adore Twin Peaks and David Lynch and have been awaiting the reboot with bated breath. I love it when two things I’m passionate about intersect like this! All three fragrances sound killer but World of Blue really catches my eye. As for favorite characters, Laura Palmer! Or Agent Cooper if we are sticking to just the original two seasons with no additional media. My favorite House of Matriarch perfume is Coco Blanc. I adore it! Thank you for this opportunity!!

  • This is such a cool idea for a perfume inspiration. I hope Showtime airs the original before the new one. I was overseas when this was on and made my mother record it on a clunky vcr tape which she would then mail to me when it had a few shows on it. I can’t wait to see how House of Matriarch interprets this strange show. USA.

  • I absolutely watched Twin Peaks! The stunning Sherilyn Fenn played Audrey, my favorite character. The World of Blue is calling me, since I’ve been a little obsessed with iris lately. But Future’s Past speaks to my love of varied tones of woodiness.

    I am in the US.

  • Diego Hernandez says:

    Agent Cooper!!! And as my favorite perfume is blackbird no1! I absolutly love the leather in it!

  • GrandmaGaga says:

    How did I miss this series the first time around?! I will be sure to watch the original episodes, if only to get a gander at that gorgeous perfume counter! The Red Room sounds like my style but I would love to try them all…intriguing! I am in the US. Thank you for the chance.

  • I never watched Twin Peaks. I would love to try THE RED ROOM because of the intriguing notes especially the combination with the leather note.
    USA

  • malakay_21 says:

    I have never watched Twin Peaks but will definitely look into it now as I’m always haunting for something new. Outta those 3, Red Room appeal me the most: I just love a good woody note. I live in UK. My favourite from HoM is Kazimi. So much appreciate .
    Stay blessed everyone

  • cardinalmind says:

    I’ll be honest and say that I vaguely remember Twin Peaks as it has been a long time since I’ve watched it. It was when I binged watched US series back home. As such I can’t say a fave character and not just bluff saying I love a certain character. Out of the three scents, The future’s past is intriguing me but the red room is a close second. Haven’t smelled any from the house of matriarch and would love to smell some. Thanks and Have a nice day! USA

  • RoseMacaroon says:

    It was on past my bedtime, but in more recent years i’ve enjoyed the films of David Lynch so will definitely check out this series. I love the music for sure: the soundtrack engineer is a very talented engineer/multi-instrumentalist/composer who’s played musuc with my husband for many years (they’re obviously older than me), so it’s pretty thrilling to see it praised here. I live in the US, and suspect the Red Room might be a little more my jam than the othets, but they all sound fantastic. Many thanks for the draw!!!

  • stephanie says:

    I love Twin Peaks and just activated a Showtime subscription in advance of the series premiere! Audrey Horne is by far my favorite character, something about her naive yet smoldering femininity speaks very deeply to me. Also, I just loved her hair and clothes. Of the three perfumes, World of Blue is what I’d be the most interested in sniffing–anything described as “forbidden” makes me curious. I’ve never had the chance to try a HoM perfume yet, sadly. I’m in the US.

  • What an awesome draw! I only had a tiny bit of it, but I really liked the Maj. This limited set sounds​ great, I think I would like them all. As for the notes The Red Room deep and haunting would be my first to test.
    As for Twin Peaks, of course I watched it back in the ’90s. I liked the show very much, so strange and mysterious. My favourite character was Dale Cooper, of course. I live in EU, NL. Thank you for another great draw!

  • fazalcheema says:

    I am most intrigued by World of Blue because it has quite a novel set of notes in Oud and Heliotropin. I have not watched Twin Peaks because I did not grow up in the US but it is on my to-watch list. Thanks for the generous draw. I am in the US.

  • Thank you for the opportunity!

    I wasn’t allowed to watch Twin Peaks when it came out (but I still had nightmares about Bob), and I have been obsessed with it since. My favorites are Audrey and Agent Cooper. Can’t wait to see what happens 25 years later. That gum I like is finally coming back in style! ♡

    All the scents sound amazing, but World of Blue is the one I would have to try first.

    I am in the EU.

  • I have never watched Twin Peaks before but I have heard about Laura Palmer. World of Blue appeals to me most since I am intrigued by the notes. I live in Alberta, Canada.

  • Wonderful article, these perfumes are sounds so incredible. I have never watched Twin Peaks.
    I have tried only one perfume from House of Matriarch, and that was the fabulous Coco Blanc. This perfume is truly wonderful.
    Among the 3 new perfumes The Red Room appeals to me the most, but I would very love the others also, because all three are sounds really unique and special.
    Thank you for the draw. I live in Europe.

  • Samuel Almeida says:

    Would love to try The Red Room, but all sounded lovely. Favorite character, of course Agent Dale Cooper, second by Audrey :). I still haven’t had the change to try any of the House of Matriarch so that would be lovely 🙂 thank you

  • It seems a lifetime ago that I watched Twin Peaks on TV. I personally admired Sheriff Harry S. Truman. World of Blue is the new fragrance that appeals most based on the notes. I live in the UK – England, which is why I haven’t had the opportunity to try any of the House of Matriarch fragrances yet – although I must say Sex Magic certainly sounds like something everyone should try!

  • What an absolutely clever idea!!! LOVED twin peaks and anything Mr. Lynch does really. Yay for Christi!!!

  • Skye Moore says:

    The Red Room, as I wonder if it will emanate the creepiness of those scenes with the backward talking man! I was 18 when Twin Peaks aired and it is a masterpiece,. I love Agent Cooper for the humour he brings but Laura Palmer too, for her courage to endure the trauma.

  • I remember Twin Peaks when it came out, I was a little boy and indeed it was a weird little show. My favorite character was Agent Cooper.
    All three fragrances sound very intriguing and, from the notes and description, I think World of Blue would suit me the best. Haven’t smelled anything from HOM before…
    I live in Europe.

  • Sunday nights just were not the same after Twin Peaks was cancelled. I was in college at the time and nothing went with mind-expanding chemicals like that show! We all got together and got “in the mindset” an hour beforehand and had some really great times!!

    Though she only appeared in 12 episodes, the Log Lady was a character that utterly fascinated me to no end. Of the more major characters I enjoyed Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna Hayward.

    Of the three new ones, only by description, World of Blue sounds amazing…and utterly unlike your typical “bleu” fragrances do!

    I live in the US, in southwestern Pennsylvania.

    It is so hard to pick just ONE Matriarch scent as my favorite but I guess if I had to save one from a fire it would be either The Maj (amazing!) or Forbidden (best narcotic white floral ever!).

    Thanks for the draw and always keeping us informed!!

  • rodelinda says:

    I loved Twin Peaks, although I never watched it until about 10 years ago. Now I can’t wait for the reboot. Audrey was my favorite character — she was smart and weird and got stuff done. Like Christi, I also live in the woods not too far from Snoqualmie, so the series has a special place in my heart. All three sound interesting, but World of Blue sounds most appealing to me because I miss heliotropin. My favorite House of Matriarch perfume is The Maj. Thanks for the drawing!

  • Elizabeth T. says:

    What a treat! World of Blue sounds like an instant favorite for me. I love Bohemian Black and Trillium the most from HoM. Trillium especially is a spring favorite, and I’ve been wearing it tons lately. I’m in the USA. Thank you for the article and precious draw!

  • doveskylark says:

    I didn’t watch Twin Peaks when it was on in the 90s. I never thought I was clever enough for a show like that. I saw Blue Velvet and I just couldn’t wrap my head around a story like that. I’m older now and I’m old enough to watch the original series. Maybe I’m more clever now.
    The World of Blue has the most intriguing notes: deer tongue, blue lotus.
    I live in the USA.

  • I’ve never seen Twin Peaks but now I’m very interested. I love cedar and black currant so The Red Room looks like it’s the most appealing. I live in the U.S.. Coco Blanc is my favorite House of Matriarch fragrance. Thank you so much.

  • As other have stated, I never watched Twin Peaks but now I really want to go back and get caught up! The Red Room appeals most to me out of the three. The red cedar wood sounds like just my taste. I live in the US. My favorite HoM fragrance is Coco Blanc.

  • I also never saw Twin peaks but I am anticipating its return- its had a lot of publicity of Kate here in NZ and sounds like the hype will be well worth it- Hmmm how I’d love to watch it wearing that fragrance- Imagine! What a total buzz-Think of a big space and screen where a few hundred people are watching the first show and the air is filled with this fragrance to put us in the mood….Christi lives close and that’s serendipitous too 🙂
    Futures Past would be my first choice but I would never say No to the others…and thanks for informing us about David Lynch Foundation for consciousness based education and world peace. Want to learn more on this. I’m in NZ, loved the review and thanks for the draw.

  • marcopietro says:

    I was not a Twin Peaks fan during its first season in 90′ and I don’t particularly like Lynch’s works, but I still remember the interest that serial aroused among the spectators around the world.
    What a wonderful trio of fragrances! The most intriguing to me is Future’s Past. I do not know all House of Matriarch’s products, but I love Blackbird.
    I live in EU.
    Thanks for the draw!

  • NiceVULady says:

    Unfortunately, I’ve never seen Twin Peaks nor do I have any of the House of Matriarch fragrances. I’m drawn to the notes of Future’s Past and certainly the name is haunting. I certainly would be interested in the other two as well. Thank you so much for the draw. I live in the USA

  • Heather Freeman says:

    I love Twin Peaks, though it’s hard to pick a favorite character (so I’ll go with the log lady and Audrey today!). World of Blue appeals most, though they all sound amazing, and I love House of Matriarch. I live in the USA. Thanks very much for the draw.

  • I vaguely remember watching a few episodes of Twin Peaks and remember liking it. The new Antimony is my current favorite in Christi’s line of beauties. Thank you for the memories and the draw’

  • ntabassum92 says:

    I have never seen Twin Peaks! I think World of Blue appeals to me the most, it sounds dreamy and mysteriously floral. My kind of fragrance. I am in the US.

  • I was a young teen when twin peaks arrived to Germany but allowed to watch it. My favorite character was Dale Copper but more sticking in my memory is the mystery that was connected with the soundtrack. I got this on a cassette and listened to the melancholic song falling a lot.
    I love so many House of Matriarch that it’s hard to choose just one favorite. A staple is Ambre Viel that really goes always for me.
    I’m mostly curious about the Red Room, though the World of Blue sounds very intriguing with the note of Blue Lotus.
    What an amazing draw. Thanks a lot for this chance.

  • Jackie b says:

    I have never watched Twin Peaks but am fascinated by House of Matriarch perfumes. I have what used to be called Blackbird and really like the depth and complexity of it.
    World of Blue sounds intriguing too. Such a lovely draw, thank you. I live in Australia.

  • Although I am old enough I never watched Twin Peaks – I better catch up! This HOM trio sounds intriguing, I would love to receive it in Switzerland, and I am especially drawn to Future’s Past.

  • This is incredible. I recently rewatched the series and it definitely holds up.

    My favorite character has to be Audrey Horne, though they’re all so good. How could you not like Agent Cooper?

    The Red Room sounds fantastic. Black currant and incense? Yes please! I have never tried anything from HoM, something I will have to remedy in short order.

    Thank you for the opportunity. Cheers, from Michigan.

  • Hi, not at all a fan of Twin Peaks (albeit a great fan of other DL works), I’m a big fan of The House of Matriarch work!Forbidden is my favourite, and the most appealing of the trio for me is World of Blue.
    I live in Italy

  • I never watched Twin Peaks but for me the peak of Cinema was 1990`s movies. 21st centuries movies and TV shows never satisfied me.
    I love to try The Red Room. Thanks for the opportunity and draw. live in the US.

  • Hi first like to say thnx for great giveaway ,really love house of matriarchs fragrances so i have never watched Twin Peaks But love D.Lynch’s work.

    The Red Room sounds amazing . I love incense and HOM does an amazing incens.my fav HOM fragrance is blackbird. I live in Canada

  • Thank you for such generous giveaway! I never watched Twin Peaks and I have never smelled House of Matriarch perfumes, but there are people around me who have done both things and they are stunned. They roll their eyes and touch their hearts, speechless, so I feel those series and those scents will be life-changing for me too. I am looking forward to try out Kazimi, Albatross and Longing. From these 3 the Red Room speaks to me the most, because I love cedarwood and incense, and scents with red feeling are my favorites. I live in EU.

  • MichelleU says:

    I remember my parents watching it and it creeped me out, to this day it still creepes me out!
    Favorite character is Dale Cooper, I must admit Kyle MacLachlann left quite a mark after Blue Velvet.

    I would love to try Future’s Past.

    Inam a reader from the Eu. Thank you!

  • Hikmat Sher Afridi says:

    What an incredible draw! I have never watched Twin Peaks but I hate to hear that someone killing a girl/woman and become sad.
    All the three perfumes are fascinating and sounds wonderful but THE RED ROOM is really haunting me. My favorite from ToM is the only I have Black No. 1
    Thanks to the generosity of Christi Meshell for Wonderful and Strange Trio set and Cafleurebon for the opportunity.

  • I have not watched Twin Peaks. A bit sad that have not, people talk about it every now and then; I have no idea of the topic. I would love to test all of these amazing creations. <3
    Eu, Finland

  • Beautiful, I watched Twin Peaks so many times. My favourite character is the Log Lady. Future’s Past sounds very appealing to me, thanks for the draw!

  • Twin Peaks was so ahead of its time on TV. I was so happy to see they had created some new episodes and were coming out soon. Don’t know if I had a favorite character. Didn’t think it was safe to latch on to a character bc you didn’t know if that character would resurface or die:)
    All 3 fragrances sound like they are perfect compliments to the Twin Peaks world. Futures Past probably sounds the most appealing to me. Actually World of Blue:) Favorite HOM fragrance is either SexMagic or Coco Blanc.
    I live in the USA

  • Thank you for this great draw! I have never watched it unfortunately. Coco Blanc has been the only thing I’ve smelled from this house but I remember it being amazing!
