An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Effective Relief for Dry Mout
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
Oracoat XyliMelts have been a lifesaver in managing my dry mouth symptoms, especially at night due to medication side effects. Ease of Use: These discs are simple to use; I place two in my mouth before going to bed, and they adhere comfortably throughout the night. They’re discreet and easy to apply, making them convenient for both nighttime and daytime relief. Effectiveness: XyliMelts work effectively to stimulate saliva production, providing much-needed moisture to alleviate the discomfort of dry mouth. I wake up with less dryness, which greatly improves my comfort and oral health. Flavor and Comfort: The mild flavor is pleasant and doesn’t interfere with sleep. The discs dissolve slowly, ensuring consistent relief without any irritation. Overall Experience: Oracoat XyliMelts are a must-have for anyone dealing with dry mouth from medications. They offer reliable, long-lasting relief and have become an essential part of my nightly routine.

A Tooth Saver
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
Work well. My mouth gets dry due to meds and this helps me avoid cavities while sleeping. It has a mild minty taste ad lasts most of the night. I sometimes use it during the day as well and it is nice and discreet.

Best relief for dry mouth!
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
My neurologist recommended XyliMelts after I mentioned dry mouth with CPAP use. I have been using them for about a year and they’ve made a huge difference. Before using them, I would wake up several times with a completely dry mouth and throat. These help keep my mouth moist for hours while I sleep. They stick well to the roof of my mouth without being uncomfortable, and the mild mint flavor isn’t overpowering. I also like that they dissolve slowly instead of disappearing too quickly like regular lozenges. The only small adjustment was getting used to placing them the first couple of nights, but after that they were easy to use. Overall, I’d definitely recommend these to anyone dealing with nighttime dry mouth or dry mouth from medications. Pro tip: bring them with you when you travel, they are super helpful in drier climates and on planes.

Works well but too expensive
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
We love these for nightime. Wish they didn’t stop making the cinnamon, but we like the mint anyway. Excellent for dry mouth esp at night! Too expensive though.
