Celine Cologne Celeste Review

Enough of this clamouring for longer lasting perfumes. Do people also complain when a movie isn’t long enough? Do they write into the radio station when their favourite song ends? The most annoying party guest is the one who doesn’t … Continue reading

Lavande 31: A no-nonsense, cut through the BS kind of scent, lavender and clean laundry musks. Would work well for gym-goers and people who want a scent, not a perfume. I like that the latest Le Labo discovery includes a … Continue reading

Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens today. It makes me think of virile strength, a man breaking his way through a dry jungle, tree branches snapping, dusty earth under his feet, the snapping of dry leaves that crumble in your hands. … Continue reading
