Atkinsons Jasmine in Tangerine Perfume Review

August 1, 2018

Atkinsons Jasmine in Tangerine

Atkinsons is one of those newly revived perfume houses. It’s a British perfume house that now offers some classics as well as additional contemporary perfumes.  Let me start out with this disclaimer – This perfume has been the only experience that I’ve had with the line and it’s in the Contemporary Collection.

Jasmine in Tangerine opens as the sort of jasmine that reminds me of hairspray. There’s a bit of tangerine peel. Something about this perfume comes across as a “period piece”. It really reminds me… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Parfums de Rosine Rose Nue Perfume Review

February 27, 2018

Rosine Rose Nue

When I want to smell “pretty”, I like to wear Les Parfums de Rosine. Their specialty is pretty, romantic rose-y perfumes. When the house launched Rose Nue in its pretty blush pink bottle with a jade green accent, I knew this was something I’d have to try. The concept, the colors…it all fits in perfectly with the Parfums Rosine image.

Rose Nue opens with bright aldehydes, similar to those found in perfumes like Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere. Rose Nue wears like a soapy, clean aldehydic floral… Continue reading

Olivine She Belongs There

Last week, I reviewed a natural perfume with a realistic gardenia note. This perfume ignited an olfactory craving for gardenia. I went through my collection and samples looking for gardenia-centric perfumes. I came across some Olivine Atelier perfume oils that are white floral focused. Right now, She Belongs There is satisfying my gardenia cravings.

She Belongs There is a white floral. It opens with a humid gardenia that has the faintest hint of “mushroom”. As it wears, the jasmine takes over. It’s a clean, fresh… Continue reading | 2 Comments

EauMG’s Mother’s Day 2016 Gift Ideas

Mother's Day Gift Guide

 

Every year I complain about putting together a Mother’s Day Gift Guide even though I usually enjoy the “gift guide” portion of blogging. There’s a few reasons I dislike it¹ but the biggest one is that it’s intimidating. How can I put together a guide that is supposed to appeal to women of child-bearing age and beyond? Excluding the age differences alone, women are diverse with diverse interests. I have to remind myself that EauMG is primarily a perfume blog so I try to appeal… Continue reading | 6 Comments

EauMG’s 2015 Mother’s Day Gift Guide

May 1, 2015

Mother's Day Gift Guide

I usually love creating gift guides but I’m going to tell you that putting together a Mother’s Day one is my least favorites. These are so hard for me because these Mother’s Day guides are meant to encompass women of child-bearing years and beyond. I find most Mother’s Day gift guides sort of offensive in that regard. I mean, it’s mothers. That’s a diverse group; yet, it’s a group worth creating a gift guide for. I shall not be intimidated 🙂 So, when I do these… Continue reading | 1 Comment
