A Beautiful Life Composition EDP Perfume Review

September 3, 2015

A Beautiful Life Composition

It’s back to school time. And even though, I’ve long been out of school and I don’t have children, I was oddly haunted by one of those cliché “Oh, no! You really didn’t earn a diploma so you’re going to have come back for this course” dreams. The dream didn’t end up in Jerri Blank “Strangers with Candy” mode, but it was just me cursing and really pissed about this delay in recognizing such a mix up. What’s up with those stupid dreams?

A Beautiful Life PoP EDP Perfume Review

May 2, 2013

A Beautiful Life Pop

 

A Beautiful Life PoP is a vegetal musky fragrance that reminds me of hazy summer days. A portion of the profit sales are donated to The Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization that helps comic creators in need.

Pop opens as an herbaceous musky clary sage with a hint of pear and peach. Because of this, I’m reminded of white varieties of lavender – slightly fruity but very herbal and crisp. With time I get a peach sprinkled in dried, ground… Continue reading
