Tom Ford Violet Blonde
I got this little mini so many years ago, when there weren’t that many Tom Ford perfumes, and definitely the private blends weren’t out yet. Violet Blonde really spoke to me because it’s a cool dusty floral, the kind that … Continue reading
Book Review: Scent and Subversion
Madame Rochas perfume ad, (image from the book Scent and Subversion by Barbara Herman.) I like this so much better than an ad with a celebrity. What do you think?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re interested in some insightful reading this summer, check … Continue reading
Shelfie
The favs these days. Which ones have you used? I know a few people saw me post about the Naturewell creams on Insta, and went and found them at Walmart. There is also a Vitamin C version of these creams!

Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Cream
Give me Hyaluronic acid and humectants but make it pink and smelling of roses. This is a lovely light cream for oily skin. It’s not greasy enough for dry skin but if you have fairly unproblematic skin and can get … Continue reading
