perfume whisperer
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…
Earlier this week I posted about the new Clinique Nail Enamel and now I finally got the chance to try a couple colours. I have a few more to go but these ones stood out as lovely for spring! They really are not as strong smelling as my other polishes and application was easy. Pinkini is…
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…
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…

Clinique introduces a pioneering innovation to the nail enamel industry with a formula designed to minimize unwanted reactions to the nails, skin and eyes. Available in a…
I thought I would share two items I am LOVING right now. These are items that have earned permanent spots in my collection for one simple reason – the reason anything becomes something I can’t be without – they work. Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes is a new product in the LiftActiv line,…
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. I bet you already can smell lemon. You can feel your mouth…
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…
This isn’t a review, I’m just sharing my love and my collection with my fellow perfumistas. Some of them I’ve reviewed, some I haven’t. Some I still plan to, some I will never bother trying because such amazing reviews have already been written, and I have nothing to add. So here you go, enjoy!…
I was digging through a scarf drawer the other day. I use the term “scarf drawer” loosely. It’s predominantly scarves. Well, more like fifty-fifty. Anyways, I found a small silk scarf square, white with a black lace design that is reminiscent of the packaging on the vintage Rochas Femme perfume. So I think it is…
