Is Stealing Someone’s Perfume A Crime?
I was musing about this the other day while writing a nail polish post. I remembered a friend who smelled so good I just had to have her perfume. She had a caveat when she agreed to tell me – that I “not tell anyone else” what it was. We lived in different cities, so that…
Summer Scentsibility
Hot steamy weather calls for different scents than you might want to wear when the weather is cold. Soft, tropical and lush florals, fruity delights, herbal “pick me ups” and “out of the shower fresh” perfumes can take the place of the heavier, richer and sweeter more resinous perfumes we might bust out on cooler…
Le Labo Jasmin 17, Guerlain Eau de Lit & Perfume Layering
Le Labo is a nifty perfume house out of NYC that has a cool aesthetic to their brand.

How To Get Rid Of That Perfume You Just Tried That Is Giving You A Headache
We all know that feeling. You’ve just found a lovely new perfume – you’ve spritzed a paper blotter with it, it smells good, you try it on your skin. Then, something happens. That perfume becomes a monster, slowly but surely turning into a headache (and possibly nausea) inducing disaster on your skin. You try washing…
Jane Birkin’s Perfume, Miller Harris Un Petit Rien & Santa Maria Novella Muschio Oro – Sexy Sultry Scents
As you know, I love musk scents. Clean musks, floral musks and woodsy musks – I love them all. Certain musks have the ability to morph and take on the chemistry of the wearer and become what I like to call a “skin scent”. This means the scent sits close to the skin and only…
Lemon by Mary Greenwell Is Sweet, Delicious & Sexy
Fragrance of the Lemon Peel © Ilya Zomb Let us enjoy this excerpt from Pablo Neruda’s Ode To The Lemon: …he most intense liqueur of nature, unique, vivid, concentrated, born of the cool, fresh lemon, of its fragrant house, its acid, secret symmetry.

Shall We See What I Have In My Purse Today?
I regularly change up the contents of the make up bag in my purse. I am still a huge fan of the leather pouches from American Apparel Carry All Pouch – they feel substantial and well made. I like the ones with nice heavy gold zippers, they add a luxe feel that you don’t get…
