EauPen Thread – Brands That Don’t Work for You

October 26, 2018

Chanel Cristalle
Is there a brand of perfumes that don’t really “click” with you?
I think many of us have a brand that we’ve tried but never really connected with us. It’s not about the perfumes. It’s us. Something about their style doesn’t work for us for whatever reason.

For me, it’s probably Jo Malone London. This is a brand that many people adore. I haven’t tried everything from the brand but what I have tried never really worked on me. Some of them go sort of “sour” on my… Continue reading | 16 Comments

EauPEN Thread – Decants

May 11, 2018

Myrna Loy
Do you buy decants?
Let me explain what a decant is for those that may not know. A decant is fragrance decanted from a full-size bottle of perfume. Generally, these are not sold through the brand but through perfume lovers (in real-life or online) or through certain decanting sites. The decants are typically larger than a sample and smaller than a full-size bottle of perfume. They come in generic bottles (so they really aren’t like a brand’s travel-size perfume).

EauPEN Thread – Sweet Dreams

Do you wear perfumes to sleep?
Yes, I do. Or I guess, I should say that I wear fragrance at night. I tend to bath/shower in the evening. This is the time I wear perfumes for myself (instead of sampling things for the blog). I do my ritual and enjoy whatever bath/body products are in my current rotation. I may wear something that compliments my bath/body products.I really don’t wear “different” perfumes at night vs. the day; I wear whatever suits my fancy.

EauPen Thread – I’m Sick of It!

October 19, 2017


What perfume note or style are you currently tired of?
OK, so this question isn’t asking if there is something within the industry you’re sick of sniffing. I’d like to know if there is a note/genre that you have burnt yourself out on or never really liked in the first place.

My answer: amber. I went through a crazed amber stage; it was all I wore. Then one day, I was so sick of it. I had burnt myself out (like if someone that thought eating cake everyday for a… Continue reading | 20 Comments

The Lipstick League – Week of 6.29.15

Happy 4th of July!

Question of the Week: What was your first “signature scent’? Do you still wear it?

EauMG’s Answer: Being a fumehead, we don’t have a signature scent. We have commitment issues. Thinking back, I don’t think I’ve ever had a signature scent. Even in my more youthful days, I’d wear lots of different things. I will say that I’ve had notes that reoccurred throughout my life – patchouli and rose. Those have been
