En Voyage Perfumes Cafe Cacao EDP Perfume Review

September 28, 2016

Envoyage Cafe Cocao

En Voyage Café Cacao is a gourmand that is in the Souvenir de Chocolate Trio. It’s a perfume that is inspired by a the sort of decadent café mocha that Marie Antoinette would have had.

Café Cacao is as you can imagine, a chocolate perfume. Chocolate perfumes can go into a few different directions¹ and this is a sweet, creamy chocolate with some spice.

Primordial Scents 2012 Water Perfumes

September 15, 2012

I have been asked to review scents and participate in the Primordial Scents Perfume Project hosted by Perfume Pharmer.

I feel that each of these perfumes deserve their own independent perfume reviews; they are all wonderful. However, with my lack of time and “real estate” on my blog, I’ve decided to group the reviews by their element, starting with Water.
