The perfect fragrance for lazy mornings
I just wanted to stay in bed all day. The perfect fragrance was of course Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela Replica.

Bubble bath: lazy afternoons, self-care Saturdays, and a life of leisure. It is also a clean fresh scent from Maison Margiela.

You might think Prada Candy is just another sweet fragrance
I remember, years ago, I tried Prada Candy at a Sephora, when I was first getting into fragrances. I was convinced this was the fragrance of my dreams. I wrote it down and committed myself to buying it in the future. I then proceeded to break that commitment. Now years later, I am trying it…
