• 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

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

• The Forest Floor: L'Aromarine Oakmoss Mousse de Chene Fragrance

  Date: 2008.08.12 | Category: Beauty Best Under $10, fragrance | Response: 0

  

  My husband bought me L’Aromarine Mousse de Chêne aka Oakmoss fragrance oil not to long ago. I really didn’t know what to expect because oakmoss is a popular note that I thought I never smelled in isolation before but knew it in dry downs. I have been very pleased by this fragrance and I love it.

  I have reviewed L’Aromarine Jasmin in a previous post. L’Aromarine fragrances are very potent fragrance oils that have a nice price tag. Oakmoss is not as potent as Jasmin but it is still a very long wearing oil. The… Continue reading
