Madame Scodioli is Riley Fouts's Kansas-based perfumery. According to their website, their unscented products (tattoo aftercare, lip balm, etc.) are natural, but their scented products contain some synthetic fragrance oils. With the exception of the beeswax-based items (solid scents, tattoo aftercare, lip balm), Madame Scodioli is vegan! They're also cruelty-free. No animal testing here!
Their site explains that the brand draws inspiration from "gypsies, traveling carnivals, and restless spirits of all kinds." As far as the packaging goes, I feel that this is true. Madame Scodioli indeed occupies a special packaging niche on the indie market. Madame Scodioli operates under the guise of a traveling gypsy circus, led by the enigmatic Madame Scodioli (Riley Fouts). I was intrigued by the Madame's gypsy-bohemian aesthetic, and I was even more curious about her scented balms. One thing led to another, and I purchased Elyria ($16 USD), and a set of wee samples ($20 USD) consisting of Oracle, Step Right Up, Fortunato, and Cloven.
