Chanel Bois Des Iles
I’m running around in sweats and running shoes today but I smell classy in Chanel Bois des Iles. This one is the silky lacy under things of the Les Exclusifs line, wispy and ethereal in texture. Its old-school aldehydes, ylang … Continue reading
Guerlain Santal Royal Review
It’s been snowing all day, and now I’m watching the Grammy’s and wearing Santal Royal, Guerlain’s completely unnecessary addition to the rose-oud category of perfume. I guess they had to, they did create a line inspired by Middle Eastern perfume, … Continue reading
Santa Maria Novella Melograno
It’s been the busiest week but lots of great perfume got me through. Love the elegant but also cute 50ml bottles from Santa Maria Novella, and I wore lots of Melograno this week. A powdery blend of florals and … Continue reading
Le Labo The Matcha Perfume Review
Working late and wearing The Matcha 26, as I slowly work through my Le Labo sample set. The Matcha is a sleeper hit, and I think it’s perfect for anyone who thinks that Santal 33 is too strong. There’s a … Continue reading

Comme de Garcons Incense Series Jaiselmer Perfume Review
Incense Jaisalmer, for another freezing day and this one is warming me up with hot and dry spices. Cardamom and red pepper along with a dry cedar and palo santo are making me imagine a smoke that’s not there. The … Continue reading
Diptyque Fleur de Peau eau de parfum
Diptyque Fleur de Peau – perfume but make it HR-friendly. A blend of iris and musks. The musk starts like a clean laundry musk, but then the ambrette comes out, and the warmth of your skin makes this feel like … Continue reading
Ledda 19 Vanilla Nera Perfume Review
The latest addition to the Ledda fragrance family: 18 Vanilla Nera. A very sweet vanilla with hints of spice, thanks to a touch of ginger and cardamom. It’s almost as if it’s holiday time and I’m eating a delicious spiced … Continue reading
Dusita Rosarine Perfume Review
It’s a perfume for someone living in Paris who grew up around vintage perfumes but trying to break away from my mom’s perfumes, I’m going indie where the ingredients are pricy and the formulas are heftier. It’s like moving out … Continue reading
