Atelier des Ors Aube Rubis Perfume Review

Atelier des Ors Aube Rubis

Atelier des Ors Aube Rubis is one of those perfumes that I think I know but then I wear it a few different times over a span of a few different seasons and then I realize I never really knew it. There are times that I think of it like an iris gourmand (usually in warmer weather). Sometimes I think of it as a very opulent fruitichouli (again, in warmer weather). And then I wear it on cooler days and it’s suede and woods. Or it’s… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Atelier des Ors Choeur des Anges Perfume Review

Atelier des Ors Choeur des Anges

Atelier des Ors has launched a trio of new perfumes in their White Collection. These perfumes are primarily citrus/florals, but done in the Atelier des Ors style…they have some heft and aren’t fleeting “eau de colognes”.

I was immediately drawn to Choeur des Anges because of its energetic, effervescent opening. The opening of Choeur des Anges (Choir of Angels) is a luxury creamsicle. It’s a juicy, vivid blood orange with a hint of honeyed sweetness. The blackcurrant adds a “musky tartness” to the world’s fanciest… Continue reading

PURPLE FLOWERS WEEK 2018

It’s an annual tradition on EauMG to feature “purple flowers” on the week of Nowruz/Vernal Equinox. “Purple flowers” are what I call flowers that (usually) have purple blossoms and bloom in spring: lilacs, violets, iris, heliotrope, hyacinth and wisteria (when I’m feeling generous). These are the sort of florals that make me think of spring. Plus, it gives me an excuse to talk about some of my favorite floral notes.

I’m actually highlighting a non-floral “purple floral” this week for all of you that don’t want to… Continue reading

ROSE WEEK 2018 – A Rose-Oud

It’s Rose Week on EauMG! This is the annual celebration of rose-centric perfumes! This week I’m reviewing 5 fragrances that display a different aspect of rose perfumes.

How could I get through Rose Week without a rose-oud? The answer – I couldn’t. Atelier des Ors Rose Omeyyade is one of those darker, deeper, jammy roses balanced by woods.

The first part of the wear of Rose Omeyyade is a spicy, boozy rose. It opens with a raspberry jam with rose petals dusted in fruity, pink pepper… Continue reading

The Lipstick League – Week of 1/22/18 – Perfume!

The Lipstick League – Week of 1.22.18

Question of the Week: What perfume can’t you get enough of right now?

EauMG’s Answer: I feel like I’m in a perfume rut right now. I keep reaching for things with aldehydes/florals (like Caron Fleur de Rocaille) or something more gourmand-y (like Mugler Angel Muse). Out of perfumes I currently bumped up to the top of my wishlist – Atelier des Ors Lune Féline. I am currently obsessed with this cardamom vanilla.
