I was digging through a scarf drawer the other day. I use the term “scarf drawer” loosely. It’s predominantly scarves. Well, more like fifty-fifty. Anyways, I found a small silk scarf square, white with a black lace design that is reminiscent of the packaging on the vintage Rochas Femme perfume. So I think it is…

Everything’s Coming Up Roses
I love all things rose, as my regular readers know, so was very happy to add some more gorgeous rose products to my collection. I also love oils – for my face, for my hair and for my body, so the fact that I have found a perfect combination of the two things I love…
Spring Smells Like Lily of The Valley, Cherries and Flowers
When the snow starts to melt, and our heavy coats get put aside in favour of lighter wear, it’s time to switch up things like skincare, hair care and of course, perfume. Our rich and cozy winter scents start to smell a bit heavy and it’s time to bring a little sunshine into our lives….
Magical, Forbidden Perfumes of Enchantment, & Sin. Literally.
I love a special perfume experience. Perfume can transport and carry us somewhere else – perhaps the notes evoke a scent memory, or trigger an emotion. I also love perfumes that are gentle and easy to wear. Interesting – yes. A challenge to everyone around me? No. My favourite perfumes are the ones that make…
Marni by Marni Perfume Is Magically Spicy and Soft, With A Whisper of Rose
It’s kind of an odd one, the first perfume from the design house of Marni. Odd in that it was launched for spring and yet if you read the notes ad copy and description, you’d think it was a perfume designed for cool weather and sweaters. It’s chock full of spices and woodsy notes with…
Guerlain Eau de Lingerie – A Sexy Intimate Scent That Whispers
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…
Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess – Smell Heavenly
If you read this blog regularly you know I love soft clean musk perfumes. I particularly love musk oils – they melt into the skin and become part of your chemistry, and just smell clean and warm, but also subtly sexy. I love Egyptian musks especially, they are the cleanest of the musks, and have…
Guerlain Jicky Eau de Parfum
I’ve written about my love for Guerlain Jicky before, but that was the eau de toilette. If you know Guerlain perfumes, you will know that each formulation- the parfum/extrait, the eau de parfum and the eau de toilette – of each fragrance is different. Different notes and ingredients shine in each formulation, and they smell…
Jean Naté After Bath Splash: Energizing Delicious Goodness
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…
When I Wear Prada L’Eau Ambrée I Could Devour Myself
Prada L’Eau Ambrée is one of those quietly elegant perfumes that manages to please everyone while being unique, and also flying under the Latest Perfume Everyone Is Wearing radar. It’s categorised as an Oriental Floral, but I’d call it a warm skin scent. Yeah yeah, there are floral notes. And the spicy notes that are…
