Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular (Limited Edition) Perfume

AND The Beach Eaus – A Month of Sniffing Beach & Ocean Inspired Perfumes

I’m not going to get into all of my weird phobias, but I will say this, a cruise is my personal version of hell. I’m not judging anyone that enjoys them. I’m just saying that I have issues and it’s like a cruise combines all of my phobias and has the audacity of charging me money for it.

aroma M Voluptuous Nostalgia

aroma M Voluptuous Nostalgia is a limited edition perfume with copy that sounds like it was inspired by Audrey Hepburn in “Roman Holiday“. It’s inspired by seeing Rome from a Vespa…decades ago.

Voluptuous Nostalgia reminds me of another limited edition perfume by Maria McElroy (Lil or
