• L’Artisan Parfumeur Piment Brulant EDT Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.07.06 | Category: fragrance | Response: 9

  

  Who eats peppers everyday? Me. Who goes through more bottles of hot sauce, dried peppers, and powdered peppers in a month than most people do in a year? Me. Who wants to smell like a fresh, red sweet pepper? Me. I’m a Southern gal and I love my peppers. I swear, I skipped Gerber rice cereal and was given pureed jalapeños instead. I’m a pepper thrill seeker. And since I’ve been hooked on hot since childhood, nothing ever seems hot enough anymore…except for L’Artisan’s… Continue reading | 9 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Drole de Rose EDT Perfume Review

  If you are looking for a perfume that smells like “vintage” cosmetics then sniff no further. L’Artisan Parfumeur Drôle de Rose is a fun, fuzzy pink powder puff, a cheesecake boudoir of perfumes: sweet, powdery, with flirty florals. If you use fancy French cosmetics then I feel like you’ll find this perfume a bit boring unless you really do want to smell like your face powder! Hey, some people do! And others may long for the memory of mother, a stylish great aunt, or a… Continue reading | 10 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Fou d’Absinthe EDP Perfume Review

  L’Artisan Parfumeur Fou d’Absinthe perfume is an herbaceous, foresty fragrance with spice. L’Artisan describes the fragrance as such
  Hot and cold, spicy and soft, Fou d’Absinthe is a perfume-paradox, olfactory craziness, an embodiment of absolute freedom of mind, of the desire to break taboos and to have courage to realize one’s most daring dreams. Inspired by absinthe, the decadent drink of choice of poets and artists, this addictive potion is an aromatic explosion of green, slightly bitter absinthe, tingling spirit of angelica and crispy blackcurrant buds. The hot-cold sensation is… Continue reading | 11 Comments

• Mistral Wild Blackberry EDP Perfume Review

  Here in the Pacific Northwest, ripe blackberries mean that summer is almost over. It’s a good time to review Mistral Wild Blackberry perfume with summer officially ending soon. My love of blackberry musk fragrances is a recent love. I started liking these after living in Washington. I rarely had blackberries in the Southeast because bugs and “vermin” would get to this luscious berries before I could. The first summer we moved here, I couldn’t get over the blackberries! They were everywhere, plump, ripe… Continue reading | 16 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Cafe Noir EDP Review

  Date: 2010.01.19 | Category: fragrance | Response: 3

  

  Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Cafe Noir is a moody, rich fragrance. I love it. I call it “beatnik in a bottle”. It’s smart and sophisticated and a bit counter-culture (if a perfume can be described as such). It reminds me of a classic French perfume created for the kind of gal that spends late nights/early mornings reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti by the fireplace, sipping on midnight black coffee.

  DSH describes this spicy oriental luxury perfume as “a Paris night…Dark and sophisticated, it evokes late concerts in smoke filled rooms…sipping coffee
