• BLOOD Concept A EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.12.04 | Category: fragrance | Response: 12

  

  BLOOD Concept is a concept perfume line out of Italy. Yes, it’s based on blood types. Eventually, I’ll get to reviewing all of the “perfumes” in this line. I’m going to spoil my opinion for you with my first review. I’m terrible at being suspenseful.

  My first response to A on me skin was a loud “ewwwe” of disgust that caused The Smooshed Face League, my dogs, to jump. I startled the frugs. Concept smells like Bonne Bell Lip Smackers Watermelon Lip Balm and… Continue reading | 12 Comments

• Sonoma Scent Studio Fig Tree EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.11.01 | Category: fragrance | Response: 13

  

  I love fig fragrances. I own more than enough and I’m still searching for new ones. Last month, Sonoma Scent Studio launched Fig Tree and I was eager to try it. Fig is such a “happy memory” scent for me. It reminds me of my childhood, late summers and sunshine. Fig Tree is a fig fragrance inspired by the “entire” fig tree. It doesn’t accentuate the fruitiness or the “coconut” sweetness of figs. Fig Tree is an environment scent that uses some “headspace” to… Continue reading | 13 Comments

  Celadon is a velvety smooth violet fragrance with enough greenness to keep it from being too powdery and sweet while remaining soft.

The grass reminds me more of fresh sweet grass than a freshly mowed lawn. Celadon gets smooth. I’d say it was “powdery” but at the same time it isn’t. Like the company’s description, Celdaon is velvety, not powdery. It’s the… Continue reading | 4 Comments

  Aftelier Haute Claire is the newest fragrance in the Aftelier line. To read more about the inspiration and process of Haute Claire, check out Nathan Branch’s blog to view the letters between perfumers, Mandy Aftel and Liz Zorn. A few of us fumeheads and perfume bloggers  have said that we want a “creamy green” perfume. We like green but are sometimes turned off by its “coldness”. Well, here’s a “creamy green” perfume that surpasses anything my little non-perfumer brain could ever imagine.

  Galbanum – this… Continue reading | 15 Comments

• Yves Rocher Thé Vert/Green Tea Cologne Review

  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing A Popular Perfume

  Yves Rocher Thé Vert/Green Tea Eau de Cologne is one of those energizing citrus scents done in that screechy super clean and fresh 1990′s style. Thé Vert is lemony, unisex green floral that reminds me of other “green tea” fragrances.

  Thé Vert is mainly bergamot and lemon and orange “zest”. I detect a hint of cool mint and a… Continue reading | 4 Comments
