Watery florals by way of soap or linen spray or maybe even bathroom freshener, the colour of lavender just to mess with your head. More petitgrain than anything else, and then an mildly indolic tuberose makes its appearance. You make … Continue reading →

Diptyque Eau de Sens Perfume Review

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Henna

Intentionally imperfect like a rumpled linen button-up shirt. Last few gorgeous days of summer and wearing #diptyque Eau de Sens hair mist. This really works as a hair mist because it’s distinctly in-perfumelike, nor is it too soapy. Bitter orange … Continue reading →

Juliette Has a Gun Midnight Oud and Video Review

Posted on September 18, 2022 by Henna

It’s fall and I just added this back into my rotation.  Rose-oud by way of rose-patchouli but with spiciness from saffron, and a bit of leathery birch tar. Starts off so strong, almost cough-inducing, but settles to a silk skin. … Continue reading →
