What’s your lucky perfume or cologne?

photo: target.com 
I have a HUGE presentation tomorrow - not size-wise, but it’s very important to my education.  If I do well, I get to finally say I have a Master’s degree.  If I don’t…it means a lot more work for me.  So I want to do really well, and that includes looking and smelling my […]

The Scented LOLs

Oh, man - I found this news story and it was just too great.  The guy’s mug shot is classic too.  In short, he tried to rob a video rental/tanning salon with a bottle of Stetson shaped like a gun.  While I gotta admire his creativity, the bad thing is even using an item that […]

Frederic Malle Outrageous! for Barney’s Co-op

$110, 100ml.  I want this scent so badly for summer…the notes: caipirinha, clean laundry, green apple, orange blossom, amber and cedar.   It’s androgynous and clean without being too un-natural.  It’s available only at Barney’s Coop, and for a limited time only.  Why not buy a bottle and share it with your better half, whomever that […]

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier

In this month’s Lucky magazine I got a sample of Christian Audigier’s new perfume and cologne for Ed Hardy.  Ed Hardy is known as “the godfather of modern tattoo”, for his sophistication, depth and sense of experimentation. California native Don Ed Hardy is recognized around the world for his technical brilliance and mesmerizing imagery. Don […]

Thierry Mugler Angel Men Pure Coffee

via Uncrate:
Angel for Men is a rich, gourmand scent - Pure Coffee takes this deeper and richer, mixing coffee and chocolate.  I’m not finding it on Thierry Mugler’s site but I’ll keep an eye out.

Tom Brady for Stetson - fresh and in stores now!

This woody-chipre fragrance is a classic, and it’s being re-launched with Tom Brady (QB for the New England Patriots) as the spokesmodel.  This is some serious,  Brokeback Mountain-style hotness (except replace Jake Gyllenhaal with one of Tom’s model girlfriend Gisele….)  There also seems to be a new fragrance (Stetson Fresh) available only at K-Mart.  Or […]

Diptyque- new colognes, discontinued scents

Diptyque is going to be changing its lineup, adding three new colognes and discontinuing the following scents: L’Autre, Eau d’Elide, Opone, L’Eau Trois, and Virgilio.  Opone is an interesting white floral and I know some of you will not be happy, but let’s hope the new scents make up for it.  They are: L’Eau de […]

Buy a sample pack from LuckyScent and save $10!

I often buy samples from luckyscent and find it’s such a wonderful way to try many scents without throwing down serious cash which I obviously do not have.   Although I generally prefer to pick the specific perfumes I try out, this sounds like a really fun way to make the most of your budget.  […]

In a stink about perfume: National Post

I ran across this very interesting article in the National Post (Canada). It describes how fragrances aren’t just sweetness, light, and flowers - from the very beginning they were designed to evoke more…earthy experiences like sex, death, and drugs. Some of the scents that get name checked include Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, Dzing! […]
