Villainess Decadence And Dulces en Feugo Soap Reviews

Date: 2012.02.16 | Category: body products | Response: 0

If you love gourmand fragrances and if you like bar soap, you must try these 2 scents from Villainess. These scents are rich, dark and indulgent.

Decandence – “An indulgent vanilla that is alcoholic, butter and bittersweet with delightful undertones of tonka and coconut. Our favorite vice.” Decadence is a sweet but balsamic vanilla with a hefty does of tonka bean. This is like a soap version of Guerlain Tonka Imperiale. The name is perfect for this fragrance. It’s decadent and I feel decadent bathing in it. And… Continue reading

Huitième Art Sucre d’Ebène EDP Perfume Review

Date: 2012.02.15 | Category: fragrance | Response: 0

Huitième Art Sucre d’Ebène is inspired by tropical tradewinds. I think that Sucre d’Ebène achieves that. It’s sweet brown sugar and benzoin with a sheer, breezy, “tiki” feel.

Sucre d’Ebène surprises me with an opening of sweet brown sugar and benzoin. It’s so sweet but so wearable. Why? There is this brilliant addition of astringent witch hazel. I’ve always loved the scent of witch hazel and often wondered why it wasn’t used in fragrance. I guess it is seen as mundane and almost… Continue reading

EauMG’s Favorite Masculine Fragrances for Men

Date: 2012.02.14 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 36

This post is dedicated to all of the masucline perfumes that I enjoy smelling on men and not myself. I wear many masculine fragrances. I think Dior Homme, Caron Pour Un Homme and Chanel Pour Monsieur are some of the best masculines ever. BUT I wear these myself. This list is dedicated to those masculines that I absolutely adore and wouldn’t wear on myself. Why wouldn’t I wear them? They are just too darn masculine and “manly” for me. This are the ones I want to smell on a man.

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia Solid Perfume Review

Date: 2012.02.13 | Category: Beauty Best Under $10, fragrance | Response: 0

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia isn’t the best gardenia perfume out there. But, hey, can you think of any other gardenia that retails for less than $10?

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia is simple. It’s a surprisingly strong, heady white floral (jasmine/gardenia) with a leafy green crispness that gives a nice airiness. I mainly get jasmine/tuberose with this fragrance that could verge on mothballs. Tahitian Gardenia doesn’t wear very sweet on me. I don’t pick up any coconut or tiare like one would expect with a name like… Continue reading
