• Clinique Aromatics Elixir Perfumer’s Reserve Perfume

  Date: 2011.12.28 | Category: fragrance | Response: 12

  

  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

  Grossmith Betrothal parfum is a recently released, limited perfume for the 2011 Royal Wedding based on a the original formula created for Queen Mary’s betrothal in 1893. The Grossmith Pefume House is back in business (originally founded in 1835) . The bottles are based on the original Baccarat bottles and the formulas are based on “remastered” originals.

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Cimabue EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2010.09.23 | Category: fragrance | Response: 8

  

  Dawn Spencer Horowitz’s Cimabue Italian Journey no. 8 is described as “Opulent. Enigmatic. Beguiling.” This is another winner from Perfumes DSH. I’ve got to stop falling in love with all of her creations! Cimabue is intoxicating without being overwhelming. This fragrance is described as an “oriental/gourmand”. It is absolutely delicious. It has what I want in a gourmand: spice, citrus, honey, and sweet vanilla. What can I say? I like spice and Dawn Spencer Hurwitz does spice well. I can not imagine my fragrance collection without Cimabue.

  This fragrance is… Continue reading | 8 Comments
