I received this Marc Jacobs Lola perfume for Christmas after some not so subtle hint dropping. I had smelled this fragrance months before at the Macy’s perfume counter and adored it instantly. It just sort of called to me and since then I had been building it up in …

Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass, is an oldie but good for the right person. I do not particularly love the scent on myself. I have worn it several times over the years because it was one of my grandmother’s favorite scents. I would go visit her when I was a …

There are some scents which takes a bold configuration as to its flacon. We have Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacob’s Bang For Men was quite unconventional, and most notably, Diesel. But this particular scent was beyond the boundaries of being artistic. The flacon caught my attention because it looked like …

One of the perfumes in my collection that is so dear to me is Ulric De Varens’s Mini Flirt. Well, I am not saying that the perfume name perfectly describes my personality because it definitely does not. What I actually liked about the product is it’s sweet and floral …

This scent was launched in 2009. One of the great things about perfumes manufactured by famous not-so-expensive clothing brands is that they are so affordable. Those from Hollister, Esprit, Gap, Benetton or Abercrombie and Fitch are examples. I tried this scent from Abercrombie and Fitch because it had a fresh …

Sweet, sophisticated and sexy – these three words perfectly describe one of the gifts I received during my graduation. I am talking about no less thay and Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Femme EDT Spray. The bottle itself, which is of the exact figure of a woman, denotes the scent …

When it comes to perfume, I am a big fan of all types. This scent by Perry Ellis is very different and refreshing. If you are looking for a flirty grown up scent, then try it out. This perfume has a lot to offer. I think that is is …

This has to be one of the most exquisite perfumes of all time! I absolutely love it and have no faults with it, apart from the price, which is quite expensive however understandable for such a beautiful scent.
The scent is an extreme musk scent and can be worn …

I am referring to of course, Bobbi’s Party …

I got this perfume from Victoria Secrets as a gift. The bottle itself is quite elegant, a tall sturdy bottle that curves in and out. The fragrance is a light pink colour in the bottle and is entire think is quite girly yet sophisticated meaning it sits nicely on …

UNLTD is a new fragrance from Marc Ecko which was released last spring ( 2011 ). I manage to check this immediately after I read about this in an online perfume website. One of the things that attracted me to this perfume is the appearance. Like “Drifter” by True Religion, …

This Juicy couture perfume was on my Christmas wish list last year. I’d smelled a sample of this scent in a magazine in summer and just had to have it. I was so excited when I got it. It’s a very fancy looking perfume bottle. It’s kind of over …

I have been recently testing out the fragrances that have been launched by the Jersey Shore girls, and after being underwhelmed by Sammi Sweetheart and very impressed by Jenny Farley’s JWOWW I was very much looking forward to trying out Nicole Polizzi’s signature scent named after her alter ego …

There are some perfumes which really inspires me to try by just looking at them. One of which is Drifter by True Religion. This perfume has a classy physical appearance, it resembles a man in leather jacket riding a motorcycle. I am fond of collecting these type of perfumes, those …

I work in a perfume store and recently have found myself trying out several of the Paris Hilton Passport fragrances. Though the packaging hasn’t always appealed, the actual fragrances have been far nicer than I first imagined and the saying ‘don’t judge a book by it’s cover’ really …

Another aromatic fruity scent that I have tried is Totally You from Onofri. It has its ” For Women” counterpart. I purchased this perfume because it was marked down in the department store. I am not really well-versed with the brand name since I have not encountered it before. The …

I recently purchased the Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Eau De Parfum Fragrance. I love the scents that they sell at Victoria’s Secret. I have too many of their lotions, body sprays, and body washes to count. I was recently browsing through their body products and saw this Bombshell perfume. I …

I have recently come across a range of perfumes by Paris Hilton called Passport and having been quite impressed by Passport Paris recently I decided to try out the others in the collection.
As I work in a perfume store I’m often surrounded by a plethora of different fragrances all …

I have to start this review by stating I am not a fan of Paris Hilton. I don’t know why but she does nothing for me at all, but that’s not to say I don’t like her perfumes as I have a slight guilty pleasure from wearing them.
As …

The concept was mainly derived from Middle Eastern culture. I looked up the meaning of “Oud”, it is a musical instrument used in Arab countries. But Oud in here refers to the wood as one of the base notes. The write up of this perfume also suggest that the story …

As I work in a perfume store I get to check out fragrances well before they hit the shelf for the general public, and this is ideal for me as I get to feed my habit of testing which perfumes I am going to eventually get around to buying.

This perfume has an absolutely lovely scent, it’s definitely one of my favorites! Hillary Duff is an actress that I’ve loved and admired since the old Disney Channel days, and being an artist with her sister. I’ve supported her greatly, and when I found out that she had a …

Lily of the Valley by Crabtree and Evelyn is an 10-year old scent but I still find it a great scent to use. It was released in 1999 but after I have smelled, used and tried it, I am still impressed with its composition and pureness. It is always good …

Because I work in a perfume store I am in constant contact with a whole array of beautiful and wonderful smelling fragrances that I wouldn’t necessarily come across in everyday life. One such designer I have become fond of recently is Gucci, and having not really tried …

Aromadisiac is one of the most recent scents from Avon. It was released in 2010. The appearance of the perfume is similar to some of Kenzo’s scent–an elongated shape of the flacon. The bottle is colored black, it reminds me of Armani Code. Just by looking at it plus the …

I simply adore the smells that evoke atmosphere and the natural order of thimngs. Take freshly-mown grass, for instance, or bonfires in the fall. Once experienced, these smells forever have an emotional impact far beyond anything else we may experience.
As if to reflect the importance of Christmas, another time …

For quite sometimes, I have been searching for a spray that could replace the Penshop spray that my son is currently using, the reason been that, the Penshop spray that he uses is abit stronger for him and I find that is more suitable for bigger boys. My son …

Apres l’Ondee is a fragrance I keep coming back to. I haven’t for a long time smelled real violet flowers, but my brain links it to Apres l’Ondee almost naturally like the real thing. If perfumery were a vast garden, Guerlain would definitely be one giant flower, …

I have been searching for that perfect Perfume for years and years. I am very picky when it comes to perfume. I don’t like anything too strong or powerfull or overwelming, I want a perfume that smells beautiful and sexy. So I made it my goal to try to …

When it comes to perfumes I like to think I’m quite a connoisseur - I’m far from an expert don’t get me wrong, but because I work in a perfume store I feel I have some knowledge of fragrances and as I have a passion for them as collecting …

I adore my job in a perfume store and please forgive me for constantly repeating myself but as an avid fan of fragrances in general it gives me the input to such wonderful perfumes that I may not normally come into everyday contact with.

As I work …

Chanel No. 5 was a favorite of mine. Well, let me think that one more time. It’s a bluff…the Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere is my new love. I was impervious to the marketing schemes of Chanel the time it was released, thinking it was a …

Tiffany For Men Sport is an old scent. It was released in 1998 but this is one of the best scents I have tried in terms of its longevity and composition. Albeit old and released decades ago, the physical appearance of the perfume remains great because of its luxurious name …

One of the things that inspires me to try this scent was its composition. I have never encountered any fragrance which is composed of green tea to be exclusively for men. Even this one from Demeter is unisex. The one from Elizabeth Arden was femininely-inclined and it was quite obvious …

As I work in a perfume store on a part time basis I come across all sorts of fragrances that normally I wouldn’t dream of testing out. One such thing is this new fragrance by Justin Bieber entitled Someday.
As I am in my early thirties, this is definitely …

I bought 1 of these sets for my gran’s Christmas. I just bought it last week for her as I am trying to get some of the Christmas shopping out of the way as at least if you are buying it over a few weeks (and obviously paydays) then …

I had always bought cologne for my son from the time he was very small until sometimes late last year, but since my son turned seven years, I decided to change his cologne to a more mature spray. I was looking for that unique mild smell that couldn’t irritate …

Taylor Swift has recently released her new perfume fragrance Wonderstruck. I received a bottle for my birthday and I was a little hesitant. Why? Because it’s a celebrity perfume and it’s Taylor Swift. I’m the hair metal Guns N Roses, Motley Crue chick, not Taylor Swift.
I opened the bottle …
