EauMG’s December 2015 Favorites

January 7, 2016
Bergdorf Christmas 2015
One of Bergdorf’s windows.

December was a stressful month. I think it’s that way for a lot of people. For me,  there was a lot to wrap up before 2016. I can’t really remember much from December other than working and beating deadlines.

However, more than work occurred. I made an effort to see all the glorious store windows in the Upper West Side department stores. The displays were phenomenal. I went to the MET a few times. A lovely contributor from… Continue reading | 12 Comments

Smell Bent Winterrific 2014 Perfume Collection Review

December 10, 2014

Smell Bent has launched their limited edition perfume collection, Winterrific, just in time for the holidays. These are new takes on Smell Bent’s old holiday favorites.

Here’s my reviews for all four in this collection:

Smell Bent Dr. Dreidel 3000

Dr. Dreidel 3000 with notes of oud, Malaysian sandalwood, guaiacwood, hiba, “designer musk”, vetiver and amber incense.

Every winter, Smell Bent makes a “dreidel” fragrance. I remember Dr. Dreidel from 2010. It was a spicy green perfume that reminded me of Drakkar Noir. This one is really different. Dr. Dreidel… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Smell Bent Bollywood or Bust EDT Perfume Review

November 9, 2014

Smell Bent Bollywood or Bust

Smell Bent is a brand known for their jaunty perfumes and cheeky names. And this can sometimes distract from the constitution of the actual perfumes. I think this is something that has happened to Bollywood or Bust.

First things first, I wouldn’t describe Bollywood or Bust as a very “Bollywood” perfumes. So let’s get rid of that little assumption. Let’s just go into this thinking of it as an indie perfume with a reasonable price point. Bollywood or Bust opens with a sour, woodsy sandalwood and… Continue reading | 7 Comments

Eating Crow – September 2014

September 27, 2014

Crow

I had said in my 6th Blogiversary post that I’d like to start doing a feature where I revisit perfumes to see if my “eaupinions” have changed. I said I wasn’t afraid to eat crow…and I’m not.

I think the best way to handle this new monthly feature is to resniff and wear 4-5 perfumes that I’ve reviewed in the past to see if my thoughts on these perfumes have changed. In 6+ years, I’m sure there will be some crow eating.

So, let’s… Continue reading | 2 Comments
