• NEST Moroccan Amber Candle Review

  Date: 2012.01.22 | Category: home scents | Response: 4

  

  NEST Moroccan Amber is sweet amber with spice. The spice reminds me of clove. The amber in this is more powdery than resinous. Moroccan Amber is a spicy powdery scent with a cooling camphoric side. (Eucalyptus is a note listed). I wouldn’t call it an exotic or “dark” amber but more of a soft and approachable amber because of its sweetness. It’s a cozy fragrance.

  Like all NEST candles, Moroccan Amber burns evenly and has a great throw. I find that this scent lingers… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• aroma M Geisha Amber Rouge Perfume Review

  Date: 2012.01.17 | Category: fragrance | Response: 8

  

  Geisha Amber Rouge is an interpretation on Geisha Rouge…it’s the flanker. Amber Rouge is a spicy oriental with a dark, animalic amber base. Geisha Amber Rouge is getting great reviews. Some see it as a smoky, seductive fragrance. Others are reminded of the cozy goodness of Christmas. Geisha Amber Rouge reminds me of a honky tonk at 3 a.m.

  Amber Rouge reminds me of a spiced whisky. It’s spicy but it has a malted molasses element with an aged oak. The fragrance becomes… Continue reading | 8 Comments

• NEST Holiday Collection Candle Review

  Date: 2011.12.18 | Category: home scents | Response: 2

  Every year the limited edition NEST Holiday Collection sells out quickly. Why? Because it smells like the holidays. This is the type of scent you’d like to smell when there is snow on the ground. And if you live in a place that will never have a white Christmas, this candle’s scent will put you in a holiday mood.

  NEST Holiday is a light fruity pine scent. The pine seems almost aquatic and fresh. The real beauty in this fragrance is the pairing of this… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• Esscentual Alchemy Christmas & Cookies EDP Natural Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.12.15 | Category: fragrance | Response: 3

  

  Esscentual Alchemy Christmas & Cookies was a request from the perfumer’s dear son. Little Esscentual Alchemy wanted a perfume that smelled like Christmas. I feel that most most children don’t think of their age in birthdays but in how many Christmases they remember. In a world filled with expensive botanicals, I’m sure Legos would be a cheaper gift, but not as interesting request Thank you little Esscentual Alchemy for requesting a perfume for all to enjoy. Mama and little Esscentual Alchemy created a perfume… Continue reading | 3 Comments
