DSH Perfumes Maui Perfume Review

DSH Perfumes Maui perfume review

The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes.

In case you’re just tuning in, I’m a huge fan of Dawn Spencer Hurwitz of DSH Perfumes work. In fact, she’s partially responsible for why EauMG still exists today. Her perfumes were my first real introduction to indie perfumery. Since trying her perfumes, I have tried hundreds of indie perfumes, many I have covered on this blog.

So, I’ve learned with DSH, there’s a massive catalog… Continue reading

Nateeva Jamaica Perfume Review

Nateeva Jamaica perfume review

The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes.

Out of the Nateeva line, Jamaica is one that seems the most “beachy” to me. That doesn’t mean that it necessarily smells like an actual beach but it smells more like perfumes marketed as tropical and beachy.

Jamaica opens with spicy, ozonic tropical florals over warm sand. It smells like an oceanic breeze through trees covered in flowering vines. There’s a brightness from citrus that fades rather quickly. At first, I thought Jamaica smelled like coconut. Then it started to… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular (Limited Edition) Perfume

AND The Beach Eaus – A Month of Sniffing Beach & Ocean Inspired Perfumes

I’m not going to get into all of my weird phobias, but I will say this, a cruise is my personal version of hell. I’m not judging anyone that enjoys them. I’m just saying that I have issues and it’s like a cruise combines all of my phobias and has the audacity of charging me money for it.

The newest limited edition summer Mugler Angel flanker is “cruise water”… Continue reading

What are your favorite coconut perfumes?

A few years ago, I put together a comprehensive guide of coconut-centric perfumes (which I’m sure is outdated now). That was a guide so I didn’t really talk about what I like in that post.

I’m one of those people that for some reason likes coconut fragrances. I know they’re “cheap” since that lactonic, creamy scent is associated with functional fragrances like sunscreen and conditioners. It’s also a common flavoring. But, I can’t… Continue reading | 8 Comments

H&M Has Perfumes – Some Reviews

May 13, 2019
H&M perfumes

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing (Some) Popular Perfumes

Last year H&M launched a TON of perfumes. I was extremely skeptical. Who launches this many perfumes at once?! I also remember them having perfumes before and in their true fast-fashion fashion, they were also discontinued quicker than a yellow light turning red. Everything about H&M’s new perfume collection felt so rushed, so fast and well, cheap. Plus, they probably wouldn’t even be available in the U.S. anyway.

I was wrong. A friend I met through perfume convinced me to give them a try…and not just to… Continue reading | 6 Comments
