I’m taking some time to sample a few Kenzo fragrances. Why now, you ask. I’ve known that Kenzo Flower is the best in the market since it came out, and it’s an absolute classic. I just felt that I had to try both Amour and Flower to see the difference in them both. Just from [...]
When I say Lovely, what springs to your mind should be Sarah Jessica Parker and her perfumes. They are always unique and instant classics which is what’s made them hits season after season. This spring, the collection expands with 3 new incarnations called together The Lovely Collection. There’s Dawn, Endless, and Twilight and they all [...]
Does everyone remember CK One as well as I do? When the fragrance first came out, everyone in my junior high class wore it, and had to have it. It got the point that you couldn’t tell whether I was wearing it or not, because the whole classroom smelled of it anyway. Anyways, CK One [...]
Bond No. 9, that brand that seems to do everything in its own way, has come out with a new scent called Brooklyn. Although all the scents from the line are unisex, obviously there are some that are more masculine and some that are more feminine. This one for sure goes in the former category. [...]
Love it when a new fragrance actually references an original. Romance Always Yours by Ralph Lauren does exactly that and smells amazing. While th eoriginal Romance was light and slightly fruity, 10 years later, Truly Yours is more mature because it starts with fruity notes and adds a musky base which you can smell all [...]
One of my favourite things to do is to go scent shopping with a friend. I find that I try things that I might have passed over ordinarily, and it’s fun to see how different scents smell on different people. It was a friend who first introduced me to the original Michael Kors fragrance and [...]
Sometimes you want a scent that’s not strong. You don’t want to blend in, but you want to just smell good and comforting. Donna Karan created Cashmere Mist to be something that reminded her of soft cashmere against skin and this scent is exactly that. It sits against you and makes you smell nice, clean [...]
Lise Watier is probably one of our favourite Canadian brands. Not only do they always have stellar makeup collections, but they’re fun! This holiday season, they’ve expanded the range of their Desirable perfume and added some fragrant body lotion and a bath and shower gel that can be used on the body or hair. My [...]
Ralph Lauren has a new perfume out called Notorious. This one takes a departure from other Ralph Lauren fragrances in that it’s an oriental. When you take a sniff of the juice straight out of the bottle, you’ll essentially smell the dry-down of the final product. Though the opening is an almost citronella-like citrus, the [...]
If hippies could be a fragrance they would be Kate Moss’s Velvet Hour. I should know better than anyone else that you need to wear a perfume and let it rest on your skin before you make your mind up about it, but for some reason all that went out the window when I first [...]
