Sale @ Skindecent!

By far my favorite Canadian e-tailer (for all of you up there) is Skindecent. How excited was I to read the latest newsletter?! Very!  Her scrubs are among the best I’ve tried - I’m very partial to the Sheen Appeal.  Free Shipping + Free products just can’t be beat.  But the sale is […]

Sweet Tooth: Perfect Nectar by Creative Scentualization

Once again, this scent reminds me SO MUCH of something I can’t quite put my finger on. Something from a long time ago. I think, actually, that it might be Tribe (remember Tribe by Coty perfume?)! Also, it is similar to Benefit’s Maybe Baby with hints of peach. All three […]

A Popular Philosophy

While visiting Beauty.com I decided to check out the recent ‘top sellers’. It seems a little one-sided:

Not that I’m super surprised, or disappointed - Philosophy makes easy to wear scents that aren’t overwhelming, and are affordable enough. But to completely dominate a top ten best seller list (with only one, slightly surprising exception) […]

Perfume by the Horoscope: Scorpio

Always Scorpio gets the reputation for being overly sexual, dramatic, moody. Often drawn to black and red. This one was pretty easy: Cartier’s Baiser du Dragon (Kiss of the Dragon). Definitely not a ’skin’ scent, basically if you loved Opium 20 years ago, this is a perfume you can wear today. […]

Perfume by the Horoscope: Pisces

Ever feel like a fish out of water?  Profumum’s Acqua di Sale may be the thing to set you right again.  Some beach scents (CB I Hate Perfume At the Beach 1966 for one) have marine notes but are overwhelmed by other ideas (suntan lotion, cotton candy, pina colada).  Acqua di Sale (or, salt water) […]

Peace Comes from Within: Creative Scentualization

My schedule is really heating up these days.  School has started, work is as busy as ever,  and I’m trying to get ready for a housewarming party in less than two weeks.  So, I could really use a little inner peace.
Peace Comes from Within immediately struck me as similar to Fresh’s Sugar and Lemon Sugar […]

Perfume by the horoscope? Libra

Lots of folks love to wear jewelry, especially gemstone rings, displaying their birthstone or horoscope sign. And who doesn’t peek at their monthly horoscope in the back of Glamour or Cosmopolitan, even if they didn’t take it seriously? If you’re trying to shop for some, impossible to buy for cousin or acquaintance’s birthday, […]

Remember Antonia’s Flowers? NYT Article on the perfumer, Antonia Bellanca

The NYTimes style section, especially Home & Garden, is a must-read for me every week. Some of you might remember an 80’s cult classic, Antonia’s Flowers. It was everything the 80’s wasn’t - simple, natural. This article details the life of the perfumer and two of her friends some 20 years on. […]
