• Sonoma Scent Studio Fig Tree EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.11.01 | Category: fragrance | Response: 13

  

  I love fig fragrances. I own more than enough and I’m still searching for new ones. Last month, Sonoma Scent Studio launched Fig Tree and I was eager to try it. Fig is such a “happy memory” scent for me. It reminds me of my childhood, late summers and sunshine. Fig Tree is a fig fragrance inspired by the “entire” fig tree. It doesn’t accentuate the fruitiness or the “coconut” sweetness of figs. Fig Tree is an environment scent that uses some “headspace” to… Continue reading | 13 Comments

• J05EPH K 9/Clouds EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.07.14 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  J05EPH K 9/Clouds is accurately named. When wearing this fragrance, I feel like I am falling backwards into a dreamy, soft down-feather mattress that never ends. 9/Clouds is soft and surrounds me. It’s the ultimate in comfort. 9/Clouds is like the perfect night’s sleep (which is a luxury for many of us).

  9/Clouds is a a cool, rooty iris layered with apricot cream. The cocoa and a warm, clean musk show up. Now I can’t stop sniffing myself. This top is amazing. With… Continue reading | 4 Comments

  This fig fragrance fanatic is delighted with this home fragrance by Infusion Organique. Infusion Organique Buddha’s Fig is a scent inspired by fig trees. And if there is one scent that I want to smell all of the time, it’s woodsy fig. Buddha’s Fig is a woodsy fig with enough greenness and fruit to make it fresh. It doesn’t smell exactly like a fig tree, but it does “capture” the ambiance of my favorite ficus.

  The scent of Buddha’s Fig is a… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Juliette Has A Gun Candles & Mini Review

  Date: 2011.04.07 | Category: home scents | Response: 7

  

  A few months ago, niche brand Juliette Has A Gun added scented candles to their line-up. Instead of creating wax interpretations of their current EDPs, they created three new “concept” scents. In true Juliette Has A Gun fashion, these candles attempt to be edgy and broody. The overall vibe and candle names/concepts reminds me of teenage angst. Together they are all very Marilyn Manson-ish. But, I’m not saying that is a bad thing!

  OK, I haven’t burned any of these candles because I don’t… Continue reading | 7 Comments

• Tom Ford Private Blend Italian Cypress EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.04.05 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  Tom Ford Private Blend Italian Cypress is dry woodsy fragrance with herbaceous and spicy notes. It’s dry, woodsy, and smoky. It’s a bit antiquarian. It reminds me of being in an 19th century study: polished woods, leather bound encyclopedias, and a cup of hot herbal tea.

  The opening is herbaceous and masculine. I get Earl Grey bergamot citrus with dried mint, like a bergamot mint tea. I get old-fashioned dry mosses. There’s a bit of clove spice in all the dried greens. This makes the fragrance feel… Continue reading | 4 Comments
