Frederic Malle Perfumes
Two Frederic Malle numbers I’ve been wearing this year. I bought Portrait of a Lady because it’s a rose/patchouli number with a bit of spice and I’ve always loved a good rose-patch combo. Carnal Flower is a calming white floral … Continue reading
Chanel Cuir de Russie
Found a little used vintage of Chanel Cuir de Russie a little while ago and it was worth taking a chance on. I bought it to use and now it’s almost done.
Tom Ford Champaca Absolute Perfume Review
This was one of the early Tom Ford fragrances so it’s a little different from everything else that’s out there now. It’s a bright floral soapy juice. It smells like a tropical vacation at an isolated resort. It’s clean and … Continue reading
Panning: Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder
