SAINT JULEP
On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road, sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript, but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff’s son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles are always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”

HOW IT WEARS
Opening with the scent of just-picked leafy mint accompanied by the bright zest of tangerine, after a little while on the skin and Saint Julep’s heart notes of sugared magnolia and warm, boozy bourbon appear. The dry down is a refreshing yet hearty sweet southern cocktail.
LORE LOVES
To us, Saint Julep is the scent of a Southern Belle – they’re super sweet and charming with impeccable manners… but also wouldn’t mind a swig from the communal bourbon flask at the local line dance. This fragrance is the perfect marriage of fresh, green aromatics with warmer gourmand notes, and it really can be worn all year round for that reason!
