Insider Scoop: The Healing Garden and Love’s Baby Soft

I get the weekly WWD BeautyNewsletter, and more often than not it’s a very interesting look at the supply side of the beauty and fragrance world. It’s got a lot of focus on the mass market segment, which sometimes gets overlooked by the big budgets and PR campaigns for more expensive brands. […]

The Greening of Clorox?

I’m sure you read, with great interest, that personal care products brand Burt’s Bees was purchased by Clorox for. . . a lot.   They now have a line of cleansers called “Green Works”.  Obviously Clorox is trying hard to make its image more environmentally friendly.  There are already many great, more natural cleaners like Mrs. […]

Perfume of the Day: Dior Addict Shine

Dior Addict 1 was an oriental, white floral with bourbon vanilla. Dior Addict 2 couldn’t have been much different, a girly citrus-spiked floral, but I liked them equally. Dior Addict Shine is a more youthful, summery take on Addict 2. I don’t smell any of the freesia that bothered me a bit […]

Perfume of the Day: Indult Manakara

Well, we’ve reached a new day here at TheScentedLife - the day in which I seriously wonder if I got a defective product. You see, Indult’s Tihota was not unpleasant, but I couldn’t very well justify the incredibly high price for something that smells like many other Comptoir Sud Pacifique scents. Manakara, […]

Bond No 9: Union Square

The Silver Factory perfume was one of my favorites of last year (too bad my neighbor said it smelled like b.o. on me!) and I’m happy to announce that just in time for spring, a new Andy Warhol scent is coming out. Here’s a few interesting tidbits for you:
“My favorite smell is the first […]
