Providence Perfume Lemon Liada Cologne review

Remember in an Initio review from a few months ago when I said I was going to start posting reviews more regularly again? Well, I’m trying and life just keeps getting in the way. I mean, here we are and its summer. I feel motivated by sunshine, longer days, and yes, colognes. I have been trying so many summer-y perfumes that I really want to share with you.

There’s a subtle greenness that at times I think are… Continue reading | 6 Comments
