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 […]

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. […]

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! […]

I couldn’t help noticing the ad for RSVP Kenneth Cole. It stars a very yummy looking Jon Bon Jovi. I’m a little young to have really had the hots for JBJ back in the day but he has aged remarkably well. The tagline is “Did you rock someone’s world” and Bon Jovi […]

I was reading on one of my new favorite websites, Candy Blog (I also like Candy Addict) - so much for those new year’s resolutions - and she claims that licorice (liquorice, anisette, whatever you want to call it) is a hot new trend in flavor.

Patchouli is just one of those “love it or hate it” scents. I guess most of the world hated this one because it appears to be discontinued although decants are still available at places like ThePerfumedCourt and DecantPerfume. The notes include:
top notes of ginger, bergamot and orange; heart notes of patchouli, cinnamon, and […]

One midsummer night each year, an unusual desert flower blooms as night falls and then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun. Few see it, but those who do are entranced by the rare fragrance of the exquisite, short-lived bloom. The night blooming cereus is the desert flower from which Cereus takes […]

Today I gave this perfume a proper voyage, and did we ever go places.
The inital blast reminds me of CKOne. No lie! But the heart of green (Hatian Vetiver) and ambery base are so much more grown up and sexy than the youthful androgeny of CK1. I think […]
