Hermes Cardamusc
I asked to smell both the Cardamusc and Musc Pallida perfume oils. And then I asked for a dab of the Cardamusc on skin. “Oh, that won’t be possible, we don’t do that.” Me: “Oh, what the heck, here you … Continue reading
Cosmopolitan Eau de Juice 100% Chilled
Apparently a perfume bottle meant to be instagrammed. Eau de Juice 100% Chilled. Coconut, musk, ambroxan… pretty light. Smells like the change room at the gym when it’s summer and school’s out.
Givenchy Dahlia Divin Le Nectar
Like being dipped in a jar of vanilla syrup and not being able to escape, except instead of syrup it’s literally the crush of older aunties, their bangles clinking as they pinch your cheeks, too much lipstick, crazy amounts of … Continue reading
Atkinsons London 24 Old Bond Street
I got bored of my own perfume so I dipped into everyone else’s, but my favourite was this Atkinson’s 24 Old Bond St. which I gave to my dad many years ago. It’s a refreshing blend that’s not aquatic or … Continue reading
Juliette Has a Gun Midnight Oud and Video Review
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

Bulgari Jasmin Noir
Bulgari Jasmin Noir, a damp woody jasmine-gardenia. Mildly indolic (it’ll remind you a bit of moth balls, but not much!), and an earthiness that’s hard not to love. Easy and calm in a bottle. This is pretty light and easy-to-wear. … Continue reading
Acqua di Parma Chinotto di Liguria
From the Blu line from Italian perfume brand Acqua di Parma. Went to the museum in Toronto and wore Acqua di Parma’s Chinotto di Liguria. The bitterness of Chinotto keeps this interesting even if it does disappear pretty quickly. Cardamom … Continue reading

Oribe Fragrances Review
Megan Markle said in a 2015 interview that one of her favourite perfumes was Oribe Cote d’Azur, so I’m sure that made it pretty popular. Last year, Oribe relaunched it, and added 2 more perfumes, Desertland and Valley of Flowers, … Continue reading
