Armani Prive Eclat de Jasmine
I’ve reviewed the Armani Prive fragrance collection before and mentioned that what I loved about it was the wonderful smokiness that added a layer of mystery and uniqueness to each fragrance in the collection. Eclat de Jasmine’s superficial distinction is … Continue reading
Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum
Bottega Veneta shoes are having a moment today, and maybe that’s why I’ve reached for this beautiful fall fragrance. I have finally found my favourite fall scent and it’s from 2010. It is quiet, yet there. You smell it if … Continue reading
Nars Monoi Body Glow II Oil
The Nars Monoi Body Glow II oil came out as part of their Tahiti Bronze collection in 2016, and that’s how long I’ve been holding on to this bottle for. It always seemed too precious to use, so I kept … Continue reading

Anyone remember Entourage??? And this scene? Ari: What’s that smell? Lloyd: It’s Issey Miyake, her favourite scent. I’m wearing it as a subtle, subliminal show of our support. The “her” in Lloyd’s sentence is referring to Mary J. Blige. I … Continue reading
Sarah Jessica Parker Covet
Covet has been out for a few years, but I just pulled it out of my perfume stash. The bottle itself is beautiful to look at, but remember that the jewel-like top is actually light-weight plastic. The perfume is strong! I … Continue reading

Here’s a fragrance that’s made for the summer: Clean Shower Fresh. It’s been out for over 10 years and is still available at Sephora – probably a best-seller too. This might just be better than the smell of dry shampoo, … Continue reading
