Katy Perry Indi
Celebrity scents are not as trendy as they used to be (at least from what I see), but I love the simple woodiness in Katy Perry’s Indi. It kind of reminds me of SJP Stash too, because of the dry … Continue reading
OG Mugler Alien
Can you believe that this is the first time I tried it on skin? I got it in a swap, and I thought why not. I had never tried it before, but I’m loving Mugler Alien now. This is the … Continue reading
Guerlain Nahema
I’m drawn to the quiet luxury of Nahema today, although it opens with a brilliance that fills the room and then fades to a skin-like warmth. This rose perfume stands up to any other rose perfume, a classic in every … Continue reading
