Oh, mama, do I love a good gardenia perfume. It’s like a holy grail perfume search for me. Gardenia is a tricky flower from which it is practically impossible to extract perfume. It’s been done recently, but very rarely, and is prohibitively expensive. So most gardenia perfumes you smell these days don’t actually have any…

Super Sexy And Luxe Tuberose Perfumes: Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia and Heeley Bubblegum Chic
Every time I spritzed on Heeley’s Bubblegum Chic, the intense heady top notes reminded me of another perfume I knew I had in my collection. No, not the ass-kicking-take-no-prisoners tuberose of Fracas. It was definitely something more velvety and smooth. Bubblegum Chic is sold as a jasmine perfume, but I have to say the jasmine…
Tom Ford Private Collection Venetian Bergamot is Actually A Gardenia Perfume
Well, not exactly, or not exclusively, or at least, not what I expected. When trying a new Tom Ford Private Collection release, my expectations could be called cautiously optimistic. I like a few, love three, (Velvet Gardenia, Moss Breches & Black Violet, all discontinued) and am indifferent to the rest – for me. For men,…
Sweet Sexy Tuberose: Heely Bubblegum Chic vs Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia

Earthy, Sexy, Floral And So Soft…Santa Maria Novella Gardenia
It is flowers, green vegetation and so warm, earthy, and well, sexy. Like you’re relaxing in the shade on your porch in the deep southern heat, after having a luke warm cooling bath using only the simplest and cleanest soap (Dove?). You’ve put on your gauzy linen slip and the humidity makes your skin glow…
Kiehl’s Gardenia Perfume Oil is a Rare Beauty
Its always a bummer when something we love is taken off the shelves. There are countless perfumes that have been discontinued and there is usually only one reason for this- sales. So I suppose the beautiful, soft and lush Kiehls Gardenia Oil was not a big seller for them. Pity, because to my nose…
AERIN Tuberose le Jour & Tuberose le Nuit Perfume Reviews
Tuberose is everywhere this season! I am pleasantly surprised by the face that many of this fall’s perfume releases feature white florals. And, considering how much I adore Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, I swooned when I saw that AERIN had released two new tuberose centric perfumes, I was quite excited! Her Tuberose collection…
Cozy Perfumes You Need For Fall
Ah fall. I have mixed feelings about fall. I love the clean air, the smell of leaves underfoot and light in the sky. Where I live, fall is a welcome relief after a hot and humid summer. However, it’s what comes after fall that I do not like. Let’s not dwell on things like unpleasant…
Amazing Moisturizing Body Scrubs By AERIN, CND & Bleu Lavande
I am always moisturizing. Always. But applying creams, oils or lotions to skin that has a build of dead or flaky skin cells is throwing money down the shower drain. Every skincare product works best on smooth, exfoliated skin. I’ve used brushes, poufs and loofahs but my favourite way to exfoliate is still with a…
CHANEL No5 L’EAU – A PERFECT MODERN TWIST ON A CLASSIC
CHANEL surprised everyone the first time they tweaked their iconic No 5 fragrance in 2007 with the unexpectedly gorgeous CHANEL No5 Eau Premiere. No5 Eau Premiere was softened version of the classic No5, with a gentle airy powdery vibe, a fizzy sweetness and a warmth that is absent from the (gorgeous) original No5. Eau Premiere (which…
