Tom Ford Rive d’Ambre Perfume Review

May 29, 2018

Tom Ford Rive d'Ambre

A name can really make or break a perfume. Is that fair? Absolutely not. But, it’s a first impression for most of us that sniff perfume. I’ve always liked Tom Ford Private Blend Rive d’Ambre despite rarely hearing anything about the perfume. The problem is its name. It’s “Rive d’Ambre”. This suggests an amber. It’s not. Also, this is in the “Atelier d’O*ient” collection which is going to suggest amber-style perfumes. Once again, Rive d’Ambre is not a classic amber perfume. So let’s just move on… Continue reading | 2 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 5.7.18

Happy Mother’s Day!

Question of the Week: What’s the most expensive eye shadow palette you own, and is it worth it?

Talk Some Scents Into Me – Summer 2016 Edition

September 2, 2016

Myrna Loy

 

In all honesty, I’ve felt a bit burnt out by perfume for the past couple of years. I mean, if this blog were a child, it’d be in 2nd grade. That’s a long time to talk about the same thing. I thought it may not even be “perfume” but life and personal obligations…stress. A lot has changed in my life during this time. We’ve moved across the country, we work different jobs and there’s all sorts of other things that have occurred that have me thinking about… Continue reading | 42 Comments

Tom Ford Orchid Soleil EDP Perfume Review

Tom Ford Orchid Soleil

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

As a designer, Tom Ford is known for “sex appeal”. Apparently, this means exposing a lot of skin, wearing a lot of shiny things at once and never underestimating the power of a glossy lip. When you see the “sex appeal” that Tom Ford constructs, you can tell this is a guy who grew up in Texas and has enjoyed many nights in disco-glamour-era NYC.
