Really quick smell of Izia la Nuit by Sisley Paris
Let’s jump into it Izia la Nuit by Sisley Paris. I smelled this in store and something about it drew me in. When I finally tried it out on skin, I felt like it smelled powdery and fruity. (I imagine that I interpret the florals as powdery.) I wore it all day out and about,…

If you can never seem to find the time to do the things you want
I readied myself for bed, exhausted. There was still a pile of laundry unfolded, a stretch of floor unmopped, and a general set of tasks undone. “I don’t understand. Why can’t I ever find the time to get this done.” I continued on, defeated. If you were to rewind a few hours before, you would…

Does every business have to go global?
I have been thinking through details about the brand Lanvin and its push to expand in China, so I thought,” How big does your reach have to be to be considered a success? Does every business need to conquer the Chinese marketplace?” I think there is a danger in pushing to be a global business…

Eyes Closed by Byredo, to smell like you, but better
When I tried Byredo’s Eyes Closed in store earlier this year, I was hooked. It sultry, it was different, but it had been a long day of fragrance sniffing. I needed more time with it to gather my true opinion. Trying a fragrance on paper is one thing. I needed to know how it would…

“Do you admit to yourself how bad you want it?”
I have a can of Pringles next to me, scorchin’ sour cream & onion flavor. I have just been eating them, to round out the dinner that I hadn’t planned of odds and ends. Probably not the healthiest. Definitely not the healthiest. It’s odd, if you think about. For some time now, I have toyed…
