I’m a mad exfoliator. My skin is oily and acne-prone, as in painful cystic hormonal acne, along with blocked pores. However, as is often the case with acne prone types, my skin is also sensitive. Part of keeping oil and blocked pores at bay is exfoliation. When you exfoliate dead skin, your skin doesn’t just…
Mmmm, boy, oh, boy, LUSH does a beautiful job with rose scented products. Their Rose Jam Shower Gel is one of my favourite LUSH rose products, and it’s back for Christmas! LUSH Rose Jam is a sweet and creamy rose – with yummy vanilla and berry to add an edible-ness I adore. There is almost…
Creed Fleurs de Bulgarie is not just another floral or rose scent. The list of notes is incredibly simple – bergamot, Bulgarian rose (known for their luscious scent), ambergris infusion and musk. Yet Fleurs de Bulgarie is so rich and beautiful, it’s hard to believe it is something so simple. It is an historical scent…
Marilyn Monroe is famously known for wearing Chanel No5, ‘What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.’ Maybe she had a deal with Chanel, who knows? Because it would seem that she also loved another perfume, and she loved it so much that she had her personal assistant purchase six bottles. That would…
Not sure how I ended up on the Jurlique website – maybe I wanted some more rosewater? At any rate, I ended up on this page which is their Scent of Rose page. Sounded good to me. But what sounded even better was their Essence of Rose Roll-On Fragrance Oil. I love the scent of Jurlique’s…
One of my favourite scent memories is Rose Milk body lotion. I used it as a teenager and just loved it. Turns out it is still being made and sold! I think a few drugstores in the US carry it, although I got mine from Amazon.com for under $10. It is nothing spectacular as far…
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…
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 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…
Comme de Garçons has some lovely simple and beautiful perfumes. They also have some intense & exotic perfumes, so it’s safe to say they have a perfume for everyone. If you read the blog regularly you know I love rose- the scent of rose, using rosewater, scenting my home with rose…. I can’t go on…
