perfume whisperer
Charlotte Tilbury is a perfume lover, and there is no question about that. Her first perfume, Scent of A Dream was drop dead gorgeous and quite brave in this age of clones and smell alikes. Scent of a Dream always reminded me of my favourite eighties chypres like Ungaro Diva, Paloma Picasso and Patou 1000….
One of my favourite things to do while watching any of the Real Housewives is to see their vanities, bathroom counters or dressers. I want to see all the beauty items but mostly the perfume, especially of my fav HWs. I don’t ever recall seeing a perfume in Carole Radziwill’s gorgeous apartment, but somewhere in…
One of my more ridiculous obsessions is perfume spotting in TV and film. If there is even a hint of a bottle on screen I have to pause and investigate immediately. Even more so when it’s one of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Near the end of last season we caught a glimpse…
The name of this perfume, Eau de Madeleine, is an homage to Proustian Memory. Au Pays de la Fleur d’Oranger Eau de Madeleine is based on that. Virginie Roux, who is the creator of this beautiful perfume line, was inspired by Proust’s memory of tea & Madeleines with his grandmother.
When the snow starts to melt, and our heavy coats get put aside in favour of lighter wear, it’s time to switch up things like skincare, hair care and of course, perfume. Our rich and cozy winter scents start to smell a bit heavy and it’s time to bring a little sunshine into our lives….
I was quite keen to try this perfume from the Arquiste line. Arquiste is a niche perfume house from New York, started by Carlos Huber, an architect specializing in historic restoration. The idea he had was to create perfumes that transport the wearer to evocative moments in history. He hires different perfumers, or “noses”, to…
I will start this by telling you I had a dear friend mule this perfume over from France for me- as far as I know it’s not available in North America. I’ve inquired with Nuxe but have heard nothing back yet- I will update this post if I do. Update: I have been informed that…
Chanel’s lastest offering in their Exclusive line is the lavender based Jersey. It was released to mixed reviews, but, luckily I know I have to judge things for myself so I still really wanted to check it out, given my mad love for Chanel perfumes. Chanel Jersey is named after the ubiquitous fabric Chanel…
I’m nothing if not a woman of broad tastes. I can appreciate vintage Guerlain Aprés L’Ondee parfum, swoon over it’s heartbreaking beauty while weeping over it’s unavailability while I watch bottles as rare as gems sell for many thousands on ebay. But, I am not a perfume snob, and I can appreciate something that makes…
One of my favourite perfume groups are the Green scents. Green perfumes tend to focus more on the foliage of the flowers and tend to be fresh with a slightly sharp edge as opposed to the sweetness you get with flowers. This is often due to the addition of aromatic green leaves, grasses and herbs….
