Under the Lemon Tree: A quick review of the eau de toilette
This is going to be a very quick review of Maison Margiela’s Under the Lemon Tree. I was surprised that it was a subtle lemon scent. I was expecting the scent to hit me like the burst of citrus in cleaning supplies. This is much more subdued. Perhaps it is a way paying homage to…

This is the best I’ve got for today
I am struggling to come up with an idea of what to write about today. All of my ideas seem to be taking a lovely vacation. They didn’t put in any notice. I am left here to just wing it, I guess. I wish creativity were something I could keep in a box. I wish…
