Perfume Samples I Finished in February
Here’s what I tried and what I liked.
Prada Candy Perfume Review
Gourmands aren’t my thing, but I have a sweet spot for Prada Candy. Really, I’m following the benzoin, and moving from Prada Infusion d’Iris to Prada Candy. What Infusion d’Iris has as one of its base notes, Candy makes the … Continue reading
