Rebel + Mercury Cerise en Cocoa Natural Parfum Review

March 19, 2013

Rebel + Mercury Cerise en Cocoa

Rebel + Mercury is a Seattle-based natural perfume line. I haven’t worn all of the Rebel + Mercury perfumes on the skin but I can tell you at this time, Cerise en Cocoa is my absolute favorite.

Cerise en Cocoa is a rich fragrance that opens with cherry liquor and a bouquet of roses with a lift of sweet grapefruit. With time, the fragrance becomes even juicier and richer. It’s decadent. The base is a dry, earthy cocoa powder and black tea… Continue reading | 1 Comment

Not Soap Radio Walking the Red Carpet

Not Soap Radio has a cute collection of 9 solid “trans-portable” perfumes called “I’m not here, I’m really…” somewhere awesome. The line is affordable and is FAA approved travel-sized. I’m not here, I’m really Walking the Red Carpet is the glamour girl in the collection.

I’m in one right now 🙁 I’m not really loving anything right now or lemming over anything. That being said, I did not request any perfumes. Shocking! But, not Schiaparelli Shocking 😉

Juliette Has A Gun Candles & Mini Review

April 7, 2011

Juliette Has A Gun Candles

A few months ago, niche brand Juliette Has A Gun added scented candles to their line-up. Instead of creating wax interpretations of their current EDPs, they created three new “concept” scents. In true Juliette Has A Gun fashion, these candles attempt to be edgy and broody. The overall vibe and candle names/concepts reminds me of teenage angst. Together they are all very Marilyn Manson-ish.
