First impressions of Inlé by Memo Paris
What is this? I had no frame of reference as to what Inlé from Memo Paris would smell like, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fragrance was a soft, delicate floral that drew me in. On day one I wore it on a whim; on day two I intentionally reached for it. Inlé eau de…

I had my reservations about this Dolce&Gabanna scent
With low expectations, I sprayed on Dolce&Gabbana Devotion for Women eau de parfum. “Oh, that’s actually nice.” How disrespectful of me. Something about the extravagant bottle made me think it would be overpowering and sickening. Maybe I should have assumed I’d like it, given its key notes are things I tend to like. Add orange…

A quick review of Tocca’s Cleopatra
Now, in the quiet of the morning, I can finally smell the fragrance I frantically applied yesterday. Throughout the week, I’d been testing Cleopatra from Tocca, but I could barely detect the scent. Now I can smell something soft and ever so slightly citrus. It’s pretty. But do I like it? I kind of see…

Some other options for your vanilla fragrance needs
We all have our strange obsessions. Mine is trying to figure out at what point I will finally like the smell of this vial of Vanilla 28 by Kayali. It is a fragrance that went viral because of how delicious people thought it smelled. On me it was at best, “meh,” and at it’s worst…

A Kilian fragrance to reclaim your royalty
I was on a mission to buy something, anything. That is a dangerous position to be in when you’re a luxury fragrance store. But there I was, exploring the Kilian store, on a mission. I was taken by a relatively new release: Her Majesty. I don’t recall being particularly excited by the fragrance as I…

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…

The smell of Pyrite
I was traveling and game for trying something new. I walked into the Credo Beauty boutique in Boston knowing I might find some goodie, new fragrances that are classified under their clean beauty standards. I was draw to the dark bottles of the Osmé fragrances. Sniffing through them, I stopped and came back again and…

This delicate fragrance from Guerlain has my attention
I made my way down the fragrance testers at the Guerlain boutique in Raffles Boston. I was giddy with excitement, finally able to try the brand in person. A collection with pastel labels caught my eye and then quickly became my favorites, Les Eaux. Eau de Coton was good. It is a beautiful scent. And…

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…
