“Two things make a woman unforgettable: their tears and their perfume” -Sacha Guitry
“Perfume is so close to feelings that we could say the same thing. Our name,
crazylibellule and the poppies, is not a coincidence. Of course, it’s a pretty name, but above all it remains words and stories. We all have a libellule soul, a […]

So, girlfriend had it pretty rough in 2007. I’m hoping she can clean up her act and become a good mommy, get her career out of the toilet, get in shape, etc. Honestly I think the bottle is cute and Rockabilly is supposed to be big again this year. So, […]

Happy New Year, everyone. I hope by now we’re all recovered from holiday cookie binges and egg nog benders. I was thinking a lot over the past few days of where we’re headed for 2008 in the world of scent.
1. Blue. Navy/Royal blue is in right now, but just like that Chanel Black Satin nailpolish […]

Move over Juicy Crittoure. Outta the way, Bark Jacobs. A hot, crazy trend in fragrance is perfume for dogs. I’m hanging out right now with my little guy, Mackie the pug, and I just asked him if he wanted some doggy perfume for the holidays. He snorted in my […]

There are a lot of scents that I can say are “nice, but not for me”. The Badgley Mischka Fleurs de Nuit I just tested is an example. However, some scents just don’t need to exist *coughDKNYbeDeliciouscough*, and I managed to get my hands on a sample of Elle by Yves Saint Laurent only […]

I can’t say I saw this one coming, but in a way it makes sense. From the folks that brought you Stetson (the cologne): Tim McGraw in a bottle. I guess if Shania Twain can do it…although - as glam as his wife (Faith Hill) is, I’d imagine there might be a collaboration/matching scent […]

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 […]

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 […]
