The Bite:
imageWanna tap into your inner mad scientist? Try Roxana Villa's perfume alchemy class and make your own fragrance from scratch, or get her to custom-blend one for you that matches your scent palette and body chemistry. Her perfumery, Illuminated Perfumes, also carries seven pre-made scents, including our love at first sniff: Lyra (floral, amber, citrus). Roxana's perfumes all come in pretty handmade bottles and use organic and biodynamic ingredients whenever possible. And while 95% of the more than 4,000 chems used in fragrances today are made from nonrenewable petroleum, hers are petrol-free...totally makes scents.
Wanna Try: 
Roxana Illuminated Perfume (818-992-0490). Lyra, $75.

Cocktail Fact

Rose hips (the part left on the plant after the rose blooms) contain more Vitamin C than almost any other fruit or vegetable.

Small Changes Add Up

If LA Biters opt for perfumes made with organic ingredients instead of conventional ones, it'll help keep the same neurotoxins in cigarette smoke out of our air.
