Guerlain recently released a perfume inspired by their famous spherical powders, Les Météorites. I say inspired by versus named after, as they did previously have a Les Météorites perfume that was released in 2000 but is now discontinued. That version did smell true to the soft violet powder scent of the makeup – exactly like…
CHANEL recently released some absolutely gorgeous No5 L’EAU (read my review of No5 L’EAU perfume here) body products, and they are simply stunning. The newest additions to the No5 L’EAU family are as light and airy as the fragrance and perfect for summer. The No5 L’EAU All-Over Body Spray is soft perfumed spray for the…
Father’s Day is coming so here come the fragrance recommendations. Except I think we all know by now that fragrances are all gender neutral, right? The old days of labelling a fragrance masculine or feminine are long gone. If you’re still doing this you should stop. Now, that said, we all have associations with…
Le Labo Santal 33 is one of the most gorgeous sandalwood perfumes out there right now. If you haven’t tried it, maybe don’t. You’ll just want it, and at $305 CAD for a 100ml bottle, you won’t thank me for making you want it. I am lucky enough to have a Santal 33 candle…
Look out guys, I’ve got some great fragrances for you to try out and I think you’re going to love them. These new releases really caught my nose, and frankly, these are scents anyone can wear. I put “Man” in the post name because I wanted to catch their attention, but these fragrances would be…

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…
Can you believe it has been fifteen years since CHANEL released a new perfume as part of their classic collection? The last one was CHANEL Chance, released in 2002. All the perfumes that have landed on CHANEL counters since then have been flankers of their existing perfumes, beautiful on their own but not “new”….
Burberry has added another member to the My Burberry family. We have My Burberry, which is a lovely soft floral, My Burberry Black (reviewed here), which is a richer oriental take on the original. Either one is perfect for whatever mood might strike you, and both are the work of the divine Francis Kurkdjian (here…
I was anxiously awaiting the launch of Gucci Bloom. Photos of the campaign, shot by Toronto’s incredibly talented artist Petra Collins, and the stunning bottle, were leaking online before the release and tempting me with it’s beauty. The campaign is stunning, modern and perfect and, THAT BOTTLE! Honestly as soon as I saw that…
