Histoires de Parfum Ambre 114
A gateway amber for some, a reference amber for others. Maybe an amber for people who are not really into ambers – Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfum. Cozy and warm without being suffocating, sweet but not gourmand. Thyme, a … Continue reading
Violet Parfums First Impressions
Quick reviews of Violet Parfums. I liked all of them, and the price point is great. There are also travel sizes available and I love that option best of all. If you come across them, sample them if you can. … Continue reading
