July 11, 2019
Andree Putma Tubereuse Interdite perfume review

Andrée Putman basically spent her life as the interior designer. When I think of how a wealthy person with good taste decorates, I basically think of Putman’s streamline, unfussy, neutral, and very French aesthetic.

Balenciaga Paris perfume

Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Perfume

I’m a fairly predictable person. I have my routines. And every spring I want to smell like violets.
