NEST White Sandalwood Perfume Review

March 5, 2018

Nest White Sandalwood

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

In 2013, Nest Fragrances launched a line of fine fragrances. I reviewed a few of them shortly after their launch. They’ve since launched a few more perfumes (that I have not tried). I’m more familiar with the brand’s home fragrances, which is why when I was walking in Soho last year and saw a sign for a Nest Sample Sale, I went in. I don’t know how familiar you are with sample… Continue reading | 6 Comments

Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne Review

August 21, 2017

Jo Malone & London Wood Sage

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

I rarely pay attention to Jo Malone London Launches mainly because they’re never what I want them to be and they perfumes themselves are too fleeting. We all have a brand (or brands) who’s aesthetic doesn’t really fit with ours. One of these brands for me is Jo Malone London. I think they’re perfectly fine but they don’t attract me. There are some exceptions in the brand but let’s just put it like this: I don’t own… Continue reading | 10 Comments

Art de Parfum Sea Foam EDP Perfume

September 14, 2016

Art de Parfum Sea Foam

If you think that aquatic perfumes smell like synthetic messes that resemble household cleaner, let me suggest that you try Art de Parfum Sea Foam. This is an aquatic that actually smells like a sea breeze and not something you’d use to get rid of smudges on your glass coffee table.

Sea Foam opens with a citrus-tinted, dry cedar that comes across as driftwood. There’s a crisp greenness to Sea Foam like that of unripe, green and latex-ish figs. This fragrance performs in the… Continue reading | 1 Comment

Jacques Fath Curacao Bay EDP Perfume Review

August 19, 2016

Jacques Fath Curacao Bay

I have a rule for myself: Never trust blue liquids. A blue perfume can’t be trusted. And don’t get me started on blue alcoholic beverages which are basically inspired by untrustworthy blue perfumes¹! Why do I not trust blue juices? Well, I lived through the 90’s and associate these with “sporty” or aquatics that smelled like they were household cleaner in fancier bottles.

I ignored my own advice and tried Curacao Bay from Fath’s Essentials before I tried any other from this new, revived line. I’m… Continue reading

Davidoff Cool Water for Women Perfume Review

June 28, 2010

The Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Fragrance

Davidoff Cool Water is the fragrance that defines the aquatic genre in my opinion. Since its release in 1997, this light and watery fragrance has been very popular.Who hasn’t tried Cool Water? Seriously. I felt like I’ve smelled this on so many ladies throughout the years. I’ve sniffed the men’s version on many guys over the years. People really love light and “clean” fragrances (or at least that was a trend). 

I
