‘… Chic West Hollywood’s Sunset Plaza ’
In L.A., all roads lead to….Tracy Ross, whether you’re driving from Hollywood, to Beverly Hills or to the Beach.
 |
Nestled in with West Hollywood’s chic high-end boutiques on Sunset Plaza, Tracey Ross is the glamourous spot to shop and relax. |
I push the black door open and feel like I’m entering a cozy & chic boudoir closet. I know I’ve stepped into a secretive, secluded place…and it is easy to see why Tracey Ross, founder and owner, after 15 years in business, has made a huge mark in LA’s fashion world.
The tinted black windows make it a haven for celebrities… Nicole Ritchi, Kate Hudson… safe from paparazzis’ prying lenses…With high-end brands like Stella Mc Cartney, Chloe and L.A.’s Karen Zambos vintage couture – just love her dresses – I’m set for L.A.’s Oscar-mania!

I go straight to the black glass counter, intrigued by the dark amber perfume bottles set in a midnight-blue jewelry box…and sure enough, it’s from the famous LA jewelry designer, gothic guru, Loree Rodkin.
Yes, Tracy Ross is all about cutting-edge, eccentric, chic rock n’ roll…
so Loree Rodkin perfumes have found a safe haven here!
Remember those gothic rings and claw necklaces Madonna, Cher and Aerosmith wear at their concerts or the Grammys?…well that’s Loree Rodkin…
Formerly known as a Hollywood actor’s manager, she is now famous for her jewelry design, and has added her visionary modern yet medieval design to fragrance and candles…to my delight!
Two words best describe her signature fragrance: raw addiction.
Gothic I is an addictive blend of patchouli , amber and vanilla notes.
The friendly staff tell me that selective customers come here just to purchase the fragrance oil or the large brown wax candle. The body mist is the latest addition to this unique high-end perfume line. Yes, you’ll pay the price for this ‘couture fragrance’ but all you need is a single drop of oil on your skin for it to last for ever…and I do literally mean just one drop .

Loree Rodkin roll on Gothic I
Gothic I is a deep, enveloping blend of two vanillas (both classic and essential) and Near Eastern patchouli that radiates from the wearer like candlelight amidst great darkness. A grounding, almost meditative fragrance that evokes a sense of the earth and all things ancient, it melds with your body chemistry to wear more like a second skin than a perfume. Gothic I captivates, perplexes and draws others toward the one who wears it, as would a piece of jewelry suggesting origins distant and unknown. |

Gothic II - Loree Rodkin – Parfum.
Gothic II is a nocturnal elixir of a fragrance that marries vanilla (both classic and essential) and Near Eastern Patchouli with accents of Opium and Frankincense. A concoction for seekers and daring paramours of life's journeys, it veers off the beaten path and evokes images of exotic bazaars and inner chambers shrouded in mystery. This perfume is the olfactory equivalent of a piece of jewelry that transcends its function as simple adornment to become a talisman. |
