Halloween Home Fragrance: Diptyque Incense/Encens Candle

This is just spooky and goth enough to make the cut for Halloween (I mean, it’s not even orange) but I think it would lend a nice air to your home for any Halloween parties this weekend. Like all Diptyque products, it’s not cheap: $72 at Bergdorf Goodman’s (it’s only 3 […]

Dolce and Gabbana: The One perfume

Generally, I think Dolce and Gabbana perfumes have a lot to offer. Light Blue is eminently wearable and appropriate for almost every occasion, and yet isn’t boring or bland. Same with Pour Homme - it’s just a little bit ahead of many other men’s scents in the same vein. Although, really, I […]

Usher: Usher for Her

Just in case you were wondering if celebrity fragrances had jumped the shark,  here’s proof this trend is going strong.  Usher’s new perfume, Usher for Her, just released.  This one kind of flew in under my radar, what with the Sean John Unforgivable beef with J.Lo, Mariah Carey et al.  Anyway, the bottle’s kind of […]

Diesel Fuel For Life…customized!

Maybe the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while, Diesel recently launched a site where you can customize a bottle of their new fragrance, Fuel for Life. It is described as “sexy elixer of blackcurrant, antique indole (that means stuff that smells..um…earthy) and patchouli. I ordered the women’s perfume although the men’s looks as good […]

Sneak Peek: Bath and Body Works rolling out more holiday scents

I think Bath and Body works must be doing gangbusters sales with their Temptations line.  It’s a good product, a good price point, and the clincher is the cute packaging.  Coming soon are two minty scents: Dreamy Chocolate Mint and Strawberry Mint.  I just had a chocolate mint treat at Dairy Queen tonight, so I […]

Need a Margarita? Philosophy Senorita Margarita Hot Salt Scrub

I know I could sure use this right about now (and about four of the real thing to take the edge off).  It’s a yummy, absolutely true margarita scent (think fresh squeezed lime, triple sec, and yes, even tequila!!!) and a salt rim.  I love the acid green packaging.  Just one caveat - […]
