Beleza: a warm, rich, and hypnotic oriental fragrance with notes of tahitian vanilla bean, orchid, Virginian sandalwood, and musk.
This one had a very interesting development on my skin. For the first few moments, it was all powder. Then, as the powder settled down, the sandalwood and musk notes came out and really warmed up. Sandalwood […]
Corazon: an intoxicating, seductive floral fragrance combining Kenyan Pink Pepper, Morrocan Jasmine, and other floral accords, green tea, and Amber.
This reminds me a lot of something my mother wore when I was a child. In a good way, mind you - I think it’s the jasmine. White Shoulders, perhaps? Anyway, the jasmine is clear as […]
Cobice: Luxurious, exotic notes of Patchouli and Leather, juxtaposed with the sweetness of green apple and bamboo flower.
The green apple is at the front of this composition, backed up gently by the bamboo flower. It takes a few moments for the patchouli to show up at all, but it is there, fashionably late. The leather […]
I’ve been hanging on to some samples of Abinoam perfumes, meaning to do a review for a long time now. Here’s my thoughts on them:
Desejo: A carnal interpretation of Pomegranate, the beguiling symbol of fertility.
This is the one I was most excited to try, so I figure I’ll go for it first. On the […]
A close cousin of the Bath Bomb, Bubble Bars are a bath bomb that fizzes while making big, soapy bubbles. They come in scents like Ma Bar, Amandopondo, and Blue Skies. They’re anywhere from $6 to $10 depending on the scent and size. The ingredients are nothing special:
Sodium Bicarbonate, […]
Lush is another one of those “love it or hate it” type brands. Their products tend to be very expensive but boast fresh ingredients (with expiration dates) and more natural scents than other brands. More or less, LUSH singlehandedly stoked our addiction to bath bombs. At $5.00 a pop, your Starbucks addiction suddenly doesn’t seem […]

Bug spray - smells bad, right? I thought so too, but lately I’ve been test driving Kiss my Face Sun SWAT - SPF 15 spray with essential oil bug repellent. After pulling weeds and hauling water in my garden, biking, and a family picnic, I can say I’m bug and sunburn […]
To cap off this Top 5 - Scrubs series, one of the most talked about scrubs on the internets these days: Isle of Eden. Love the uber-customized, exclusive scents, or hate the months-long turn-around time, Isle of Eden scrubs have sparked more interest in scrubs since Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish. Some of […]
I’ve admitted before I’m not much of a floral scent lover. That is - I appreciate them for what they are, but just don’t choose to wear them. Zents Petal is a classic floral - but with fresh green and citrus spiked here and there. At the first, I smell mostly lilac but other notes […]
