• NEST Holiday Collection Candle Review

  Date: 2011.12.18 | Category: home scents | Response: 2

  Every year the limited edition NEST Holiday Collection sells out quickly. Why? Because it smells like the holidays. This is the type of scent you’d like to smell when there is snow on the ground. And if you live in a place that will never have a white Christmas, this candle’s scent will put you in a holiday mood.

  NEST Holiday is a light fruity pine scent. The pine seems almost aquatic and fresh. The real beauty in this fragrance is the pairing of this… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• NEW: Tallulah Jane Hope EDP Natural Perfume

  Date: 2011.11.30 | Category: new products | Response: 5

  

  Perfumer, Elenor Jane, created an uplifting floriental with notes of citrus and exotic white florals named Hope. Like all Tallulah Jane perfumes, Hope, is 100% natural, vegan, and cruelty-free/Leaping-Bunny certified.  Here’s what impresses me the most about Hope: 50% of all proceeds will directly be donated to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Yes, 50%.

  Notes listed include mandarin, citrus, exotic white florals, White Champa leaf, and amber.

  I haven’t tried this Tallulah Jane fragrance but I’ve tried others. I was very impressed with… Continue reading | 5 Comments

• Atelier Vanille Insensee Cologne Fragrance Review

  Vanille Insensée (Insane Vanilla in French) sounds like a woody vanilla if you go by the notes alone. But, in reality Vanille Insensée is a sheer vanilla that verges on “clean” and is very modern and casual. This is one of those vanillas that one could technically wear in the summer. I don’t know may “sheer vanillas”.

  

  Vanille Insensée opens up as  vanilla. It’s creamy and dreamy but there is something else there. That something reminds me of the spicy freshness of… Continue reading | 6 Comments

• Archipelago Pomegranate EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2011.09.20 | Category: fragrance | Response: 2

  

  Archipealgo Pomegranate is a citrus-floral that is sunny and energetic. If you are looking for something fruity like a pomegranate, this isn’t it. I don’t know why, but it seems like no perfume actually smells like pomegranate. There just isn’t a decent synthetic or natural on the market.

  Pomegranate opens as a shrill fruity-floral that reminds me of crisp lemon and lemon blossoms. It’s bright, shiny and cheerful. I get tart-sweet fruit, but I wouldn’t sniff it and think “pomegranate” but I do think “juicy… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• Halston Z-14 Cologne Fragrance Video Review

  Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Fragrance

  Launched in 1976, Z-14 is a fragrance that contains every note in the universe. It’s loud and it throws. Because of this, it’s a polarizing fragrance. You either love or hate it. Or love it 50% of the time and hate it the rest of the time. I’m in the “love” team of Z-14. It’s a wonderful manly scent, very Boogie Nights, a perfume on the prowl in a discotheque.
