I was quite keen to try this perfume from the Arquiste line. Arquiste is a niche perfume house from New York, started by Carlos Huber, an architect specializing in historic restoration. The idea he had was to create perfumes that transport the wearer to evocative moments in history. He hires different perfumers, or “noses”, to…

Aroma M Camellia Hair Oil For Silky, Touchable Tresses
I love oils- skin oils, hair oils….I love the idea of a product that sinks in, gives immediate results and nourishes the body and mind. Therapeutic oils usually smell wonderful, and if they don’t, well, I don’t want to use them. Aroma M knows scent well- as a matter of fact she has a gorgeous…
Nuxe Prodigieux le Parfum – As Perfect As The Oil
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. I’ve inquired with Nuxe but have heard nothing back yet- I will update this post if I do. Update: I have been informed that…
Diptyque Do Son Eau de Parfum- Perfume That Purrs
I recently became obsessed with tuberose. It can be a challenging note in perfume. Keeping in mind that everyone wears perfume differently, and just because it smells awful on me, doesn’t mean it isn’t a gorgeous perfume. Like Robert Piguet Fracas, which is arguably the grande dame of tuberose perfumes. Oh, how I wish I…
The Stunning Dior Grand Bal Holiday 2012 Vernis: Lady
Everything about Dior’s Grand Bal Holiday Collection 2012 is stunningly beautiful. Like- majorly hit it out of the park gorgeous. The nail polishes and bottles- I’m practically speechless and am blown away by the beautiful bottles and creamy and divine formula. I fell for Lady 011, which is a snowy white frosty colour. Originally I…
The Perfect Perfume For A Bond Girl – Amouage Gold Woman
Amouage perfumes are among the more luxurious and special perfumes in the world. They are full of rare and beautiful ingredients that smell divine, they are encased in beautiful jewel-like bottles, and they cost a small fortune. The cost is not really a deterrent. I have found that if someone really really really loves a…
Yeah, That’s Right. I’m Washing My Face With Dove Soap.
Oh, how I love Dove Beauty Bar. I love the way it smells, the way it looks, and the soft fluffy clean lather I get from it. Many years ago I owned a home cleaning business (one of our city’s first environmentally friendly services…) and I learned something very interesting from my employees. Our clients that had…
Cuddle Up In Some Hermes L’Ambre de Merveilles Perfume
I’ve always loved Hermes Eau de Merveilles (2004) perfume. It’s a sexy woodsy perfume, with mouth watering notes of citrus and a unique salty impression that leaves one thinking of hot sun, sand and the beach, without actually being a beachy or aquatic perfume. Its warm and sexy, and seems to glow on the skin….
