• Boucheron B de Boucheron EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2012.01.21 | Category: fragrance | Response: 0

  

  I would say that B by Boucheron is the least talked about fragrance by Boucheron and it is the most recent Boucheron perfume launch (2008).  I really enjoy Jaïpur for men and for women. The original feminine Boucheron was lovely before it was reformulated. And I didn’t mind Trouble. I find it odd that B de Boucheron is so unpopular but at the same time it is something that I’d never wear.

  B opens as zesty pink peppercorns with florals peeking through. Strangely, you notice… Continue reading

  Fragrance brand, Scentsy, announced their ScenTrend™ for 2012. Drum roll, please… It’s pink pepper! Perfume lovers have been aware of this zesty note for years now and it’s gaining even more popularity. (rejoice or sigh) I’ve read in a few different places that pink pepper is predicted to be a popular fragrance note in 2012. It’s like cupcakes, you’ll be seeing pink pepper around for a long time.

  

  I know pink pepper has its haters since it was overused in numerous mainstream “pink” fragrances, but… Continue reading | 17 Comments

• DSH Perfumes Pandora EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.09.12 | Category: fragrance | Response: 68

  

  DSH Perfumes Pandora is amazing. And it’s so good, that I’m the evil one, not Pandora. I don’t want to share it with you. I want this to be my perfume. This has been one of my favorite perfumes of the past 5 years. Pandora is so familiar but not. It’s an old-fashioned chypre with a pitch black helmet-like bob and pencil thin brows. This is Lulu in Die Büchse der Pandora. This is a hedonistic chypre that is going to steal a few boyfriends and… Continue reading | 68 Comments

• Ormonde Jayne Champaca EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.09.10 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 4

  To my surprise, and my fumehead friends, I have fallen hard for the Ormonde Jayne florals. This is surprising because I’m not typically attracted to florals, especially abstract florals. I tend to like attars or straight forward white florals. Ormonde Jayne has introduced me to florals all over again.

  

  Champaca opens up as a spicy floral with some wetness. There’s pink pepper, but it isn’t overpowering. It smells more like “floral zest”.  The heart is a warm floral that creates an atmosphere. I… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Obaapa Purple EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.06.30 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  Obaapa Purple, a niche British fragrance, is a spicy oriental fragrance with some “umph”. Like biting into an unexpected chili pepper in  a savory dish, Obaapa Purple wakes up your senses and energizes. It’s a rush.

  Purple opens up a very good pink peppercorn spice with an added kick of mouth-watering cardamom. The blend is spicy and acrid with a meditative frankincense and red cedar woodiness. The pepper fades with time. I get clove, a clove pipe tobacco with an accent of sheer spiced… Continue reading | 4 Comments
