I have been coming back around to rose scents lately. Interesting, rose is often associated in aromatherapy with “women’s issues” and helping to balance moods. That’s not to say men can’t benefit from the calming and soothing benefits of the scent of rose, but I notice when there are fluctuations of the hormonal kind I…

Floris Night Scented Jasmine
As you know, I am a lover of jasmine perfumes. I was lucky enough to stumble up a Floris perfume windfall at Winners recently (like a Canadian TJMaxx) and one of my fave finds is Floris Night Scented Jasmine. Floris is an English perfumer that has been around for many years- it was actually founded…
Powdery Perfumes, Beautiful & Comforting.
I love powdery scents. They are comforting, and harken back to simple sweet times. I always loved the scent of baby powder and wore it when I was a pre teen as a sweet “perfume”, along with my Love’s Baby Soft. I have also used J&J Baby Lotion, for its light moisturizing and soft powdery…
Smell Sexy & Beautiful
Just dabbing a bit of perfume on before bed…what? Of course I wear my fur to bed, silly! This is a tough category, as we all have our own ways to feel sexy and beautiful, and the scent we choose is no exception to that individuality. I do think there are seasonal sexy scents, some…
By Kilian Sweet Redemption – The End
I adore perfumes with orange blossom. There is a simplicity and innocence to that scent that evokes soap, babies and even sweet desserts. You can be transported to a romantic garden with intoxicating blossoms surrounding you. But therein lies the issue with this flower. We don’t always want to smell like sweet gentle babies in…

Beautiful & Soft Egyptian Musks: A Musk Love Story
Get me my perfume…and dab it on me…NOW Musks are funny shape shifting notes in perfume. They don’t smell the same to everyone, and one person’s “Ew that musk is so strong it makes me ill” is another person’s “Musk? What musk? I don’t smell any musk”. There are the 70s musks, that I personally…
Feel Beautiful While You, Ahem, Glow
That’s what women do, right? We “glow”…we don’t sweat. Yeah, right. ANYWAYS…It may seem a bit odd to do a beauty post about deodorants but I am going to anyways. As with everything in my beauty routine, the scent or perfume of my products is very important. When it comes to deodorants, I most often…
Aftelier Honey Blossom is a Natural Beauty
Well, I would not have thought it possible but someone has managed to bottle Summer and they call it Honey Blossom. Mandy Aftel of Aftelier perfumes has taken the essence of sweet fragrant air, scented with blossoms blooming with the promise of the honey that’s too come. You can close your eyes & feel the…
It’s Easy To Love These Green Perfumes
One of my favourite perfume groups are the Green scents. Green perfumes tend to focus more on the foliage of the flowers and tend to be fresh with a slightly sharp edge as opposed to the sweetness you get with flowers. This is often due to the addition of aromatic green leaves, grasses and herbs….
