• Smell Bent Snobirds EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2012.01.29 | Category: fragrance | Response: 0

  

  Smell Bent Snobirds is a limited edition fragrance in The Snowman Cometh Collection. Snobirds has this tagline:
  Winter somewhere warm.
  Yes, I want to spend winter somewhere warm. I’m sick of cold weather. I’m sick of snow and rain. But, for me, Snobirds smells warm but it still smells like winter. It smells like a “winter neroli”.

  Snobirds opens as a sweet orange. It’s like if an incense manufacturer attempted to do an orange creamsicle fragrance using all of their natural resins. A pop of cool… Continue reading

• Smell Bent Dead of Winter EDT Fragrance Review

  Smell Bent Dead of Winter is a fragrance in The Snow Man Cometh Winter 2011 limited edition fragrance collection. I’ve fallen for 3 in this collection, Dead of Winter being one of them. This is a “fluffy” gourmand that’s a must try for the heliotrope fan.

  Dead of Winter opens with spicy anise/licorice with vanilla sugar. If you want to smell like a Good & Plenty, here you go! And sometimes I do want to smell like candied coated licorice… Continue reading

  A perfume’s life expectancy is even more brief than a caveman’s. Most perfumes don’t live long enough to blow out five candles on their pink frosted birthday cake. To see a perfume reach it’s 40th anniversary is very rare. And to see a perfume reach its 40th and still be loved is even more aberrant. I’ve always adored Clinique Aromatics Elixir. I have a thing for chypres. And Aromatics Elixir is my “casual” chypre. It’s often a scent that I wear in the fall… Continue reading | 12 Comments

  Happy Hanukkah!

  Hänsel and Dreidel is a limited edition perfume in Smell Bent’s The Snowman Cometh Winter 2011 collection. Honey hounds, this is a fragrance for you.

  Hansel and Dreidel opens as this really sweet, animalic honey musk. It actually reminds me of the brilliant but unattainable limited edition fragrance, MAC Africanimal, but on steriods. It’s sweet just like honey with some delicate spice and a base of woods. You do get a hint of whole wheat grains. The dry-down… Continue reading | 4 Comments

  It’s December! And I think this is the perfect time to start burning holiday candles. AND December 1st is World AIDS Day. I’ve been burning Sir Elton John’s Holiday Candle by NEST. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this candle will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The scent is described as a “blend of evergreen and balsam fir needles combined with rich woods and sparkling citrus accord“.

  The Scent – The scent is fresh evergreen… Continue reading | 8 Comments
