Perfumes Deals Roundup – October 2017

October 30, 2017

In this month’s enabling post AKA a roundup of perfumes that I think are a good deal, I focused on “heavier” scents/notes that I start to crave in the fall. These are a mix of spicy scents and vampy ambers.

Natori perfume

1.  Natori by Natori EDP – So, this bad mama has been discontinued and this angers me. It’s such a great plummy floral-chypre in a beautiful bottle. It’s vampy with a glamorous Old Hollywood vibe. Anyway, it’s dirt cheap right now so get a bottle while you still can (assuming that… Continue reading | 4 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 9.11.17

Question of the Week: If you could travel anywhere in the world with the sole purpose of buying beauty products, where would you go and why?

EauMG’s Favorite Rose Perfumes – 2016 Edition

Turkan Soray

Rose Week 2016

After almost eight years of perfume blogging, I figured now is the time to share my favorite rose perfumes. If you read EauMG, you probably picked up on the fact that I love roses. I love rose skincare, bath/body products and of course, rose soliflores. My personal perfume collection is dominated by roses.

Serge Lutens Chene EDP Perfume Review

January 21, 2016

Serge Lutens Chene

Like the name states, Serge Lutens Chêne is an oak fragrance. Years ago when I tried Chêne, I liked it but I dismissed it as a simple fragrance.
