If you read this blog semi regularly, you have likely noticed I’m a huge fan of vintage beauty ads. Lately, I was thinking about some products that I loved as a teenager. That sent me off on an internet adventure finding fun and delicious ads that are truly a blast from the past. My…
Does Kiehl’s Musk Smell Like Perfume? Or Just Skin?
I love a good musk perfume. They are soft and stay close to the skin, and are perfect when I don’t really want to wear an actual perfume, but when I just want to smell good. The beauty of a musk that works with your chemistry is that it is likely no one will even…
Body Oil For The Senses
Lierac is a French beauty line created in 1975 by a French dermatologist, Dr Leon Cariel, and is designed to help with aesthetic skincare issues.. I’d read about their products and had been keen to try them, but the one product I was dying to try was unavailable until recently. Thank the beauty gods for…
Fragrance For Dads That Hate Cologne
I suppose I could just compile a list of colognes that you could simply go get for the dad in your life, but that would be boring and likely leave that dad with something he won’t use. Especially if he isn’t a cologne wearing kind of dad. There are ways to encourage dad to step…
Perfume Infused With Air and Mystery
One of my favourite heady sandalwood scents is the divine Guerlain Samsara. I prefer the vintage formulations as they contain almost nuclear levels of the precious and now *restricted sandalwood and jasmine. But mostly sandalwood. I have both the eau de toilette and extrait in vintage formulation, and extrait (or parfum) wears closer to the…

Iris in Perfume: Refined, Relaxed and Calm…
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.
