Donna Karan’s Be Delicious Night is so different from the original Be Delicious which was bright and fresh. This version is a different take from Karan’s original inspiration – it’s still full-bodied and made to represent full fast New York living – just at night, so it’s smoky. It smells more like incense with a [...]

Michael Kors is My New Signature
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 [...]
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist – Perfect When You Want Some Softness
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 [...]
Britney’s Seventh Scent
Kyle Gordon Seems good old Brit is making a comeback and one that seems quite well received to boot. With accolades and an arm full of awards at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, the star of the highly anticipated TV special Britney: For the Record doesn’t seem to be suffering. If you were watching [...]
Velvet Hour by Kate Moss is More Than Vanilla
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 [...]
Gwen Stefani, Harajuku Lovers, and Their Perfumes
So the new thing in beauty is coming out with products that have a spin to them. You know that the trend has caught on hard, when it’s not enough that a celebrity is releasing a new perfume – she’s releasing 5! The celebrity in question here is Gwen Stefani and her collection of Harajuku [...]
Emporio Armani Diamonds for Him Is Different
First there was the Emporio Armani Diamonds for her, which featured a huge campaign headed by Beyonce and now there’s the Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men which features the ubiquitous ads with Josh Hartnett (what happened to him anyway?). I love this scent. Unlike most fragrances marketed for men, this isn’t just a dose of [...]
Stella by Stella McCartney is Perfect but Disappoints
Recently I was gifted the Stella by Stella McCartney perfume in the form of a gift set. I received the Eau de Parfum and the Body Cream and the reason I got them was that I had mentioned that I love the way that the perfume smells. The perfume is a mostly rose-based scent that [...]
No. 5 Eau Premiere by Chanel – Same Story Different Ending
Chanel’s No. 5 continues to be one of the best-selling perfumes in every country, every year, and in France it is almost always number 1. I, personally, don’t really like the scent so I think it has more to do with heritage and prestige than how the scent actually smells, but anyways. As if having [...]
A Perfume For All Ages – Iris Noir
I don’t always go into the Yves Rocher store, but after smelling this perfume, it’s going to be on my regular stop. I absolutely adore their new scent Iris Noir and I’ve been wearing it daily for the past couple of weeks. It’s fresh, but it’s also dark and smoky and really reminds me of [...]
