Guerlain has launched a new perfume called Eau de Lingerie. Being the Guerlain perfume fanatic that I am, I *had* to have this and bought it without even trying it, as I knew I would love it. And love it, I do. Here is what Guerlain says: “Close to the skin, in the very place where fragrance settles, our lingerie lies… and this inspired Guerlain to conceive of an innovative [...]
I will start this by telling you I had a dear friend mule this perfume over from France for me- as far as I know it’s not available in North America.

Annick Goutal Songes is a deeply sexy and lush jasmine perfume. For over-the-top, stiletto heels & red lipstick sexy, Annick Goutal Passion is really the queen, but Songes is the queen of sultry summer perfumes that are bursting with white florals and hot skin. I’d say sweaty skin, but that’s not quite poetic enough for an Annick Goutal perfume. I prefer the more floral eau de toilette to the [...]
