  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

  I’m an Estee Lauder fan girl. Estee Lauder fragrances are attainable, affordable and well-done. Out of all of the Estee Lauder scents, Cinnabar, the spicy floriental, is the most “me”.

  

  Cinnabar opens with this wonderful citrus floral nail polish. It’s classic Estee Lauder aldehydes and fruits. I get this antiqued, charming peach and stewed plum. The scent gets dustier with spices, cinnamon and clove, over spicy, fresh florals. I feel that Cinnabar… Continue reading | 2 Comments

  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

  I’m told that if you are a guy and if you like the original Dolce & Gabbana, that you should like Liz Claiborne Realities for Men. And you should love that you can find bottles for under $20.

  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.

  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: 9

  

  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 | 9 Comments

  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
