As part of this week’s contest, I asked for readers to submit their questions about perfume and fragrance. Already, I’ve gotten some great ones, so it’s time to reach into the question bag and shed some light on the subject.
A great question today comes from Catalina, who asked about Oriental scents that are not too […]
A perfume extract, or extrait de parfum, is one of the most concentrated forms of perfume. L’Aromathecque has around 20 single-note extracts that are lovely on their own or for mixing and matching. Cassis (currant) is one of my favorite notes to wear especially in summer, because it has tart, citrus notes that balance out […]
Despite the touch-and-go weather (from hot to stormy and back again) we managed to have a wonderful weekend here in the River City. It’s a great time to enjoy the scents and sights of summer. Just a few of the highlights included a trip to the Lakeside Farmer’s Market, where I picked up some peaches […]
Prada has launched the final three boutique perfumes. Perfume Smellin Things has a review of some of the previous scents like Iris, Oeillet (carnation) and Cuir Ambre. Find them at Bergdorf Goodman and Prada Boutiques for $150.
No. 8 Opoponax ~ “a soft touch of bergamot refreshes the warm blend of oppoponax in essence as well […]
I got a fun little package today with two of the newest scents from Parfums de Coeur. The first item I tried was “King” - exceptional cologne. I was quite expecting something very pine-y or along the lines of either Old Spice or Cool Water. This does, however, resemble something quite different: citrus, juniper, and […]
I will believe it when I see it…she seems too classy to want to make money based on her name and not her talent/beauty. But with all those kids to take care of, she probably could use all the extra scratch she can get! I can’t really picture what I would have Angelina […]
Kind of like Germany or Florida, this game is harder than it sounds. Check out the fun quiz over on GeekSugar!
As the Gadgettes pointed out in their NPR interview this week, manufacturers market to ladies one way, by giving their products flashy and recognizable (therefore, girly?) names like “Chocolate” or “enV” instead of something like […]

I haven’t been this excited about makeup in a long time! I’m making my way to Sephora next week to check out their new collaboration with Kat Von D (of reality TV fame). But I find myself wondering - why not a fragrance?! Or at least some bath and body product. The packaging for […]
I’m not too familiar with Kiehl’s baby line, but I love their line for grownups, and this set is just so lovely. For mom, there’s
Creme de Corps - a superb all-over body moisturizer, ideal for extremely dry skin;
“Lavender” Hand and Body Lotion - a silky, lightweight lotion for hands and body that leaves skin soft […]
I’ll admit that I don’t get a chance to read all the blogs I want to (heck, sometimes I don’t even have a chance to write mine) so I love this collection of links. It gives a picture of all the interesting topics we’re chatting about here in B&S.
May is almost here but before we […]
