In honour of the re-opening of the Ladies Lounge at Mona, we’re thrilled to introduce you to our commemorative fragrance “the Verdict” made for the Lounge to celebrate Kirsha Kaechele and the Lounge’s victory in the Supreme Court.

This “scent of victory” is collectable, timeless and elegant, from the delectable fragrance notes—which boast an elegant bouquet of fine florals and their lush green stems, plus juicy citrus and a hint of spice—to the unique hand-rolled gold-lustred ceramic tops, which were lovingly crafted by Material Institute Tasmania. 

Kirsha says it may also be applied as a disinfectant in environments of strong patriarchal power and toxic masculinity.

Artist and curator Kirsha Kaechele’s tremendously lavish space welcomes ladies for a final month of celebration and indulgence—where you become part of a living installation—before the Lounge leaves Mona forever. She’s even letting some boys in, for domestic arts lessons and other reparations.

Originally created in 2020 in homage to Kirsha’s great-grandmother Tootsie, the Lounge is an oasis amidst the art, architecture and male hubris of Mona—a haven of priceless treasures and enlightened conversation where the only man present is the butler, who does as he’s told.

In 2024, following a lengthy legal process which saw the artwork subject to an anti-discrimination complaint (brought forward by a man), a tribunal ruled that the Ladies Lounge must ‘cease refusing entry to persons who do not identify as ladies’. Kaechele opted to close the Lounge instead of opening it to men.

She then donned her power suit and pearls to appeal the case in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, where the original ruling was overturned. In celebration, the Lounge will open for a victory lap before moving on from Mona. Men are (still) not permitted, though the opportunity to be of service will be available to a select few if they queue nicely.

Key Ingredients:
Bergamot, mandarin, pink pepper, 
Rose, jasmine, carnation,
Sandalwood, vetiver, musk

The title is derived from the French verb “Entreprende” meaning “to undertake”. 

L’Entrepreneuse celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit. Honouring those who undertake risk, chase adventure and provide a source of new ideas and innovation for the betterment of society. 

This candle and it's unique fragrance was created in collaboration between Suzie Anderson (of the legendary eponymous homewares stores in the Southern Highlands) and the Raconteur. 

A collaboration that began in late 2019, was disrupted by a pandemic, and finally blossomed into this fresh new candle fragrance. This new signature scent celebrates all those individuals, throughout history and today, who have been “in the arena” and found the determination to persevere and reinvent themselves during challenging times.

This unique candle has been created to showcase the exceptional beauty of dining at Bennelong in the Sydney Opera House, a site of historic significance to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation where feasting, performance and celebration have taken place for thousands of years.

Act I opens with green spice from native Tasmanian pepper, earthy blackcurrant bud, rich fennel and honeyed wine notes from linden blossom. From this fresh and invigorating introduction the shape of the scent’s smooth curve begins to emerge. As the heart notes in Act II announce their presence, they are led by crisp complex florals from native kunzea l, smooth herbaceous celery seed, and a hint of spice from clove leaf before giving way to subtle citrus from litsea and the warmth of honeysuckle. The base notes of act III take centre stage with soft, creamy, woody notes from native sandalwood, paired with labdanum and cedarwood, before a final overture from lush oceanic moss.

Scent: Spicy, earthy, boozy, floral (light), green (herbal), citrus, woody (soft), marine

Elements: Native Tasmanian pepper, blackcurrant bud, fennel, black pepper, linden blossom, native kunzea, celery seed, clove leaf, litsea, honeysuckle, native sandalwood, labdanum, cedarwood, moss

Dine at Bennelong

This fragrance encapsulates the sheer energy of Central Australian flora. A bountiful base of desert oak recalls the dry sandy plains that surround Uluru while native grass and wild berry notes signify a kaleidoscopic feast. A subtle hint of native mint bush opens up a quietly spiritual dimension.
