Into Voice

What is Audacity?

Ask Ann Richards, who turned a grin into a gavel. Ask Barbara Jordan, whose voice commanded a nation on principle alone. Ask Molly Ivins, who drew blood with a column and a wink. Nobody handed these women the microphone. They brought their own.

The scent is built the way they were. Wild bluebell and violet petals, the bluebonnet Texas could not fence in. Iris root and night-blooming jasmine, the warmth of a woman who makes everyone feel like her favorite person. And beneath the bloom, golden oud: depth, structure, staying power. It does not shout. It lingers.

This is the company Dottie Hargrove keeps. Women like her: bluebonnet bright, golden oud underneath, impossible to fence in.

Fragrance Notes

Fragrance Family

Floral · Woody

Built on a wild Texas bluebonnet accord.

Texas loud lives in the confidence, not the volume.

The Woman

Dottie Hargrove is a bluebonnet, the flower Texas claims as its own because nobody could stop it from taking the whole highway. She was raised to be agreeable, to laugh at the joke that was not funny, and to let a lesser man take the podium. She kept the charm and returned the quiet, unopened. She takes the podium now, and she does not ask the room’s permission first.

She was told to smile more. She did, right after she won.

Wear Audacity When

• You have the truest thing to say and you are done waiting your turn
• You are walking to a podium, a mic, or a meeting that needs a spine
• You were told to smile more
• You want to change the room by walking into it

Pairs With

Black Rose Mojo, her sister scent: the velvet ledger to Dottie’s open microphone.

Layer over the matching body butter to carry her from first light to last word.

The Collection

Dottie is one of six women in The Southern Belle Gothic Oud Collection by Sugar Mama’s Artisan Fragrances. One thread runs through all six: oud, the shadow beneath the flowers.

Six women. Six fragrances. Six ways to go Beyond the Belle.
