I promise this is actually about fragrances
I have had some moments in my life that were truly exhilarating . The concert, the great outdoors, that big event. All of them were fantastic experiences, And yet. I didn’t feel alive. I could feel myself trying to take in those experiences like I “should.” I was performing, like a poser attempting to have…

This fragrance from Caftari is meant to calm
As I’ve been using Caftari’s Nidra fragrance oil, I realized that I can’t review this like I do most of my scents. If I did, I would tell you that the longevity on this is not great. It is an oil, so it can get messy. It smells great, but the projection is low. All…

As I packed my bags for my trip, I referred back to my packing list. Everything was checked off and I headed out the door. I arrived to my hotel and realized that I never put deodorant on my list. It has been literally years since I’ve used the type of traditional deodorant/antiperspirant offered by…

Finally trying Good Girl
I applied makeup and put on an outfit (if you could call it that). As I chose the fragrance for the day, I landed on Good Girl by Carolina Herrera. The scent is strongly feminine. I must say that on first spray, I immediately thought of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison because of the almond note. But…

My first introduction to Salt & Stone
I smell like a luxury hotel candle. That is what I smell as I breathe in the scent of Santal and Vetiver from Salt & Stone. It’s soothing, but also expensive. It’s more than I even knew I wanted from this. I sprayed this on me before going to an outdoor meet and greet. No…

Is this supposed to be what purple smells like?
Dior launched their Dior Addict glow fragrances a few months ago. I am a sucker for a fragrance launch, but for some reason I waited only until now to smell and test these out. Here’s what I thought. The drop included three fragrances: Peachy Glow, Purple Glow, and Rosy Glow. Dior Addict Peachy Glow $124…

The sweet scent of Holy Peony
I wanted to wear something feminine, there was something about that day that just called for something pretty. Why not Holy Peony from the Christian Dior La Privée Collection? It is floral, slightly sweet, and ever so slightly fruity. It was exactly the kind of scent for the mood I was in. Holy Peony eau…
