New Chanel No. 5 L’Eau, Limited Edition Packaging
I couldn’t let this cute bottle not be appreciated. Chanel No. 5 L’Eau and my first time owning this scent. To my nose it’s so fresh and smells quite different from the No. 5 edp that I have. This cute … Continue reading

Three of my favourites, and no matter what else I try, I keep coming back to them for reference: Chanel Coromandel, Boy, and Cuir de Russie. Boy is my spring and summer pick – lavender and vanilla done in a … Continue reading
