Vilhelm Room Service Perfume Review

VIlhelm Room Service perfume review

I was immediately drawn to Vilhelm Room Service because of the name. How luxurious is that?

MCDI Peche Cardinal Perfume Review

MDCI Peche Cardinal

Last year, I was going through a big peach moment. Never before had I cared for the note, but suddenly I wanted everything peach. I bought peach shower gels, lotions, candles and even perfumes. Somehow in this peach phase, I totally forgot about MDCI Perfumes Pèchè Cardinal which was a real shame because it was exactly what I wanted.
