I love iris. It can be a challenging scent, and not every iris perfume is for every lover of iris. It can smell like dirt, paper (Hermes Hiris!) or even a bit medicinal if it isn’t blended with notes that make it sing on the wearer’s skin. Because you know now that everyone wears every…

Guerlain Apres L’Ondee…. Perfume For After The Rain
It’s been raining a lot lately. You know, those heavy, ozonic rain storms. They only come after intense heat and humidity, when you can barely see a few feet ahead, there is such a deluge. So of course, this brings to mind a perfume, and of course, that perfume is Guerlain Après L’Ondée. Après L’Ondée translates more or…

Orange Blossoms Bloom On Warm Skin
The orange blossom is one of my favourite little white perfumed flowers. Orange blossom is the fragrant distillation of fresh bitter-orange flower. These oranges are too sour to eat, but it is that bitterness that makes this the most aromatic of the orange varieties. The leaves become petitgrain oil, and the delicate white…

Mother’s Day Memories
Mother’s Day is that day of the year when I like to do as little as possible. Sleep in, drink coffee, be lazy on the sofa and no worrying about anything is allowed. Mother’s Day is for mothers- your mother, your sister the mother, your friend the mother, or you, the mother. For me,…
Be Sweet & Pretty, Smell Sweet & Pretty
Hey boys and girls, it’s time for another perfume draw! I am loving the sweet boho styles I’m seeing everywhere for summer and it made me think of this beautiful photo. Both of my daughters love Taylor Swift, and even I have to admit when her music is playing, I feel relaxed and happy. There…
Lily Of The Valley Perfumes Bloom in May
I don’t know why, but this time of year makes me crave the sweet, pure and simple scent of lily of the valley. They do always bloom now, and I grew up in house that was surrounded by them. My friends and I would pluck the tiny little stems with those perfect white blossoms and…
That Violet Perfume Is So Purple-y
I love violet perfumes. The “love at first sight” flower…fitting. They are soft, simple and innocent. Why innocent? Hm, I’m not sure. Somehow I associate violet with babies or grandmothers, or candy, and all of those things are pretty darn sweet & innocent. They is an airy and fresh feel to violet perfumes that to my thinking…
