• C.O. Bigelow Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Splash

  Date: 2011.06.11 | Category: fragrance | Response: 7

  

  In preperation for summer, I purchased C.O. Bigelow Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Splash on a whim. It was cheap, marked down, and I couldn’t resist. Sniffing it in the bottle, I thought it smelled good. Neroli isn’t an easy ingredient to mess up, right?

  Here’s the deal. C.O. Bigelow didn’t mess up neroli. They didn’t mess up Lemon & Orange Blossom. It smells good. It’s a refreshing melody of tart citrus and citrus blossoms. I really do like it… Continue reading | 7 Comments

  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing A Popular Perfume

  I often wonder if I am a fragrance snob. I guess I am because I have more perfume opinions than the average person. But, then I think I’m not a snob because I try everything. I don’t get wowed just because some “eau” claims to be made by monks in the remote hills of Italy and retails for hundreds of dollars and smells like the orange blossom water I use in cooking. I have a few low-brow… Continue reading | 8 Comments

• Divine L’Infante EDP Perfume Review

  Parfums Divine L’Infante is a delicate floral perfume that is quaint and lovely like a country English cottage covered in ivy. The cool florals, crisp greens, and powdery vanilla make L’Infante an easy to wear powdery floral even during summer heat.

  I would say that L’Infante is “soft”. I spilled about half the tester vial on myself and I wasn’t overwhelmed. The opening is pretty, powdery peony entwined with wild ivy greenness. There’s a thickness to L’Infante, like densely growing ivy. This ivy accord gives a… Continue reading | 5 Comments

• What’s On Your Spring/Summer Perfume Wishlist?

  Date: 2011.05.04 | Category: fragrance | Response: 16

  

  Today is my birthday. For the past few weeks my husband has been nagging me about which fragrances I’d like. Many perfumistas go through funks. I’m in one right now I’m not really loving anything right now or lemming over anything. That being said, I did not request any perfumes. Shocking! But, not Schiaparelli Shocking

  There are a few perfumes that I’m interested but I haven’t parted with my cash yet. I’m at the stage where I’m trying to be really picky before bringing… Continue reading | 16 Comments

• Creed Spring Flower EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.03.22 | Category: fragrance | Response: 1

  

  Creed is one of the few luxury perfume lines that makes me want to buy fruity-florals. I really do like Spring Flower but for me, it’s more of a summer perfume. The fruits are so ripe that they are on the verge of rotting; there are no delicate spring fruit blossoms. Spring Flower can be summed up in 3 words: musky, fruity, floral. Is this as classy as 1950′s era Audrey Hepburn (this is her perfume)? I don’t know.

  Before I get started with this review, I… Continue reading | 1 Comment
