The second installment of our collaboration with J. Hannah, this limited-edition, bespoke necklace reimagines the sterling vanity perfume as a wearable object of ritual. Designed by J. Hannah and crafted in New York, the sculptural pendant is paired with vintage and deadstock chains selected by Kindred Black.
The Necklace comes with a petite hand-blown glass bottle of the Kindred Black x J. Hannah signature perfume oil – Drink Deep, Psyche. A sweetly fragrant honeyed floral with exotic, spicy undertones, this full-bodied botanical elixir is richly potent with natural aphrodisiacs. Hand-blended in small batches, it is crafted with wild, aromatic flowers and spices – each ingredient chosen for its potency, power, and lore. The scent is inspired by ambrosia, the mythical nectar said to sustain the Greek gods and grant them immortality. Today, “ambrosia” is synonymous with a fragrance so exquisite, it feels touched by the divine.
An edition of 50, each chain is individually selected from vintage or deadstock collections, making every necklace slightly unique. The photos shown are representative of the style you will receive, but subtle variations in texture and link are part of the charm—and the story—of each piece.
A Brief History of Vinaigrettes & Pomanders
For centuries, small, often ornate objects designed to carry scent have been worn close to the body.
Pomanders, used as early as the Middle Ages, were spherical containers that could be filled with aromatic herbs, flower petals, resins, and fragrant waxes. Worn on chains or carried in pockets, they were believed to protect against illness and were used to ward off unpleasant odors. These perfumed orbs were a luxury, a status symbol that conferred wealth and social status.
By the 18th and 19th centuries, the vinaigrette became popular—small, locket-like cases often made of gold or silver that contained a sponge soaked in essential oils or aromatics dissolved in vinegar. These were used not only for refreshment, but as a form of subtle self-care, a way to ground oneself in crowded rooms or moments of distress. They were often carried by women to ease the swoons and spells of faintness common in an era of restrictive corsets.
At once functional and symbolic, these objects served as personal, protective amulets— a ritual wearing of scent with meaning and intention.
