• Opus Oils Starlet Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.03.03 | Category: fragrance | Response: 10

  

  Starlet is a spicy, orange blossom and rose long-wearing perfume in the Opus Oils Burlesque Collection. When I wear Starlet, I feel like an Old Hollywood starlet. Well, I feel that way every day, but you get what I’m saying . This juice has a classic vibe.

  Starlet is beautiful. It opens with green roses and tangy orange blossom water. It’s really a starlet. It’s glamorous in a classic way. With a little more time, the roses become powdery, more feminine. Orange… Continue reading | 10 Comments

• Bois 1920 Sushi Imperiale EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2010.12.28 | Category: fragrance, fragrance and food | Response: 10

  

  Since 2005, I’ve ignored Bois 1920 Sushi Imperiale. I got all upset once I started reading reviews that said it wasn’t a gingery, green sushi-inspired perfume with cold, salty white rice. I’m so literal; I know! At the time, I lived in an area that didn’t carry Bois 1920. I sure wasn’t going to order a sample of this spicy, comfort scent. It wouldn’t of appealed to me at that time anyways. Well, times have changed and it’s almost 2011. It’s cold and rainy… Continue reading | 10 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Epices d’Hiver Parfum Review

  Date: 2009.12.21 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  This is an all natural fragrance that is in Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH “Gaia Perfume Collection”. This is as the name applies, a spicy fragrance. I really do like spicy fragrances but I think I have “low-brow” spicy fragrance tastes. I seem to always use Old Spice as my spice fragrance point of reference. Well, Èpices d’Hiver is spicy and citrusy like Old Spice but much more high-brow. At first it is a wonderful winter citrus explosion. You can smell bitter oranges, blood oranges, perfumey bergamot, and grapefruit. It… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Gingembre Perfume EDP Review

  Date: 2009.10.12 | Category: fragrance | Response: 2

  

  Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Gingembre is a perfect cool weather fragrance. I live in Washington, not just anywhere, around the Puguet Sound: Western Washington. We are known for our massive amounts of gloom and rain. For a closet goth and a mushroom hunter, this is paradise. I love the cooler, foggy,  seaside days. The rain is here just like clockwork starting on October 1st. It’s a bit chilly (50′s), cloudy, and rainy. If you’ve ever visited this area during the rainy season, then you know why we love our… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• Sarah Horowitz Joy Comes From Within Emotion EDP Review

  Date: 2009.09.30 | Category: fragrance | Response: 0

  

  This is a rich and comforting fragrance that reminds me of Santa’s cookies and winter baking. It is a sweet, gourmand fragrance but I still like it. It is a blend of nutmeg, almond, orange blossom, vanilla, tonka bean, and musk. At first it is a spicy floral. You can smell the light, playful aroma of orange blossom mixed with spicy nutmeg. The orange blossom is a flirt and doesn’t hang around very long but you can tell it’s there even when it is “gone”. You soon smell the rich nuttiness of almond… Continue reading
