The Lipstick League – week of 8.22.16

Question of the Week: What are your current favorite limited edition products?

EauMG’s Answer: I’m not the sort of person that keeps up with limited edition items. I always miss out on collections. I often don’t realize a perfume is limited edition until it’s no longer available. There’s limited edition products that I like, like LUSH Rose Jam.

Huitième Art Sucre d’Ebène EDP Perfume Review

February 15, 2012

Huitieme Art Sucre d'Ebene perfume

Huitième Art Sucre d’Ebène is inspired by tropical tradewinds. I think that Sucre d’Ebène achieves that. It’s sweet brown sugar and benzoin with a sheer, breezy, “tiki” feel.

Sucre d’Ebène surprises me with an opening of sweet brown sugar and benzoin. It’s so sweet but so wearable. Why? There is this brilliant addition of astringent witch hazel.
