Annick Goutal L’Ile au Thé, Take Me Away!

Posted on February 8, 2016February 11, 2016 by Jane Daly

Annick Goutal is one of my favourite perfume lines of all time. Annick Goutal Passion was my first “niche” perfume in 1990, and it sent me down the rabbit hole. I get so many compliments when I wear Passion and the best one was a friend who said I smelled like “weirdly sexy jasmine tea”….

Scenting the Strong & Beautiful Women of Mad Max Fury Road: Lucy B Apothecary Perfumes

Posted on May 23, 2015May 23, 2015 by Jane Daly

Recently, I’ve been sampling some fragrances sent to me by the UK celebrity makeup artist turned perfumer, Lucy Baldock-Sacchi. Lucy spent 12 years living in Australia, where she fell in love with the natural resources, healing atmosphere, the people and unpolluted lands. She discovered for herself the emotional, spiritual and physical benefits of the Australian Bush Flowers….

Floris Rose Geranium, Marilyn Monroe’s Other Perfume

Posted on September 8, 2013 by Jane Daly

Marilyn Monroe is famously known for wearing Chanel No5, ‘What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.’ Maybe she had a deal with Chanel, who knows? Because it would seem that she also loved another perfume, and she loved it so much that she had her personal assistant purchase six bottles. That would…

Jean Naté After Bath Splash: Energizing Delicious Goodness

Posted on December 27, 2012January 15, 2013 by Jane Daly

Jean Naté After Bath Splash is another terrific product from my youth that seems to have disappeared from Canadian drugstores. Happily, it is everywhere in the US! At $10 for a huge bottle, how could I not get it? I used to love the splash, the spray cologne and even the powder. It was the…

Smell Like The Future: Robert Piguet Futur Perfume

Posted on December 10, 2012November 18, 2020 by Jane Daly

Robert Piguet Futur is one of their original fragrances, originally released in the 60s.  At some point it was discontinued, likely due in part to the 60+ ingredients in the original version. Yesterday’s Perfumes has an enchanting review of the vintage formula. It’s been re-released and reworked with published notes of  bergamot, neroli, violet, jasmine,…

Sweet Scented Memories

Posted on November 14, 2012September 20, 2013 by Jane Daly

Scent is our strongest memory trigger. I know my earliest memories involve scent….being a wee sprog and getting into my mum’s make up. Her luxe cake mascara and those 60s lipsticks had a distinct rose scent that has been reproduced in few perfumes, notably Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose and my favourite, L’Artisan Parfumeur Drole de…

Earthy, Sexy, Floral And So Soft…Santa Maria Novella Gardenia

Posted on March 9, 2012June 5, 2013 by Jane Daly

 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…

The Gorgeousness of Ivoire de Balmain

Posted on November 18, 2011August 29, 2018 by Jane Daly

Most people describe Ivoire de Balmain as “soapy” or “clean”. I suppose it is those things, but to simply describe it as that would be like calling Ottawa in January as “cold”. Ivoire is, to me, a gorgeous meditation on warm, sexy skin. It was released in 1980, and is described as a Green Floral,…

Weirdly Beautiful: Les Khakis de Chanel Khaki Vert Nailpolish

Posted on October 9, 2010October 6, 2012 by Jane Daly

If you are into nail polish and beauty, you know the massive cult appeal of Chanel’s limited edition releases. Some make it into their permanent collection and others just sell out as soon as they hit the counters. Les Khakis de Chanel was a much anticipated collection- photos and swatches of the lovely muted colours…
