Penhaligon’s Violetta EDT Perfume Review
Purple Flowers Week – 2012
Penhaligon’s Violetta was created in 1976 but has the scary blue shade of a 1990′s club cocktail. The perfume house describes Violetta as a “dark, dusky and mysterious” violet soliflore fragrance.

Serge Lutens Bas de Soie EDP Perfume Review
Purple Flowers Week – 2012

I think L’Artisan Parfumeur Verte Violette is one of the best fresh, green violets on the market. However, it doesn’t last on me. I want to have a conversation with Verte Violette but all she wants to give me is a salutation… Continue reading | 3 Comments

NEST Sir Elton John Woodside Garden Candle Review
Out of all of the people in the world, I would imagine that Sir Elton John has one of the best gardens on the planet. I’ve always thought this. His flair for color, flash, and luxury makes me think that he would have the most amazing technicolor garden ever. And he has the money to keep his garden fabulous, growing whatever he fancies. The NEST Woodside Garden candle is inspired by Elton’s favorite flowers from his floral gardens at Woodside in Old Windsor, England… Continue reading | 2 Comments
