Missoni and Missoni Acqua
I think that the concept of a variation on a fragrance is a great one. The result is two scents that are similar but not the same – sister scents, as I like to think of them. Missoni is one … Continue reading
Lush Gorilla Perfume Imogen Rose
I first got @LushCosmetics Imogen Rose perfume 9 years ago when it first launched. The perfume is discontinued now and Lush has new scents out in different packaging – the bottles actually have labels stuck on to them now, because … Continue reading
