DSH Perfumes Metropolis EDP Perfume Review

December 6, 2014

DSH Perfumes Metropolis

Metropolis is a fragrance by DSH Perfumes that is inspired by urban city landscapes, modernism and minimalism. And I get that with Metropolis. This is like concrete roses, chrome aldehydes and lacquer-like sandalwood.

Metropolis opens with a rubber and leather under bright, chrome-like aldehydes. It’s an industrial fragrance with hints of vinyl, glue, rubber tires, leather and white musk. It reminds me of a rose dipped in concrete. The sandalwood in this comes across as a sharp and lacquer-like.

Beatnik Emptiness Incense Cones – Lily of the Dust Collection

1920’s Fashion – Get the Makeup Look of May Allison

March 9, 2012

Mary Allison 1923

As a person that loves a bold red lip, I love this 1923 Photoplay cover featuring theater and film actress May Allison. This violet-eyed actress had a long life; she celebrated 98 birthdays. May acted alongside Theda Bara, but her career practically ended when onscreen boyfriend, Harold Lockwood, died during the flu epidemic of 1918. This cover is from 1923. May’s career was dwindling but people still loved her face.  And I can see why.

Here’s what I did to get a similar look… Continue reading | 4 Comments
