Smell Like Summer With Atelier Cologne’s Orange Sanguine

Citrus seems to be popping up in new fragrances left and right. It’s a trend I’m on board with. The citrus is incredibly refreshing and reminds me of warmer weather.

Dare To Be Unique With Kilian L’oeuvre noire Fragrances

Challenge Day 17: Bergamotto di Calabria by Acqua di Parma

So the Tom’s natural deodorant isn’t really cutting it anymore. It lasts most of the day, but by about 4:00 I can tell I’m not smelling my freshest.

Jasmine is one of my favorite scents in the world. When I was studying in the south of France during college, there was a jasmine plant outside my window.

Flirty And Sophisticated: Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne (And Enter To Win A Trip To Paris!)

Yves Sanit Laurent’s latest women’s fragrance is just what you should expect from a French design house.

Because she knows how to love, how to live.” [...]

Bring Sexy Back To Your Man With Givenchy Play

With the flood of celebrity fragrances on the market, it can be hard to take them seriously. Some, frankly, smell downright cliched to me. But when you get a well respected design house to team up with a celebrity spokesperson, you can expect a nice fragrance behind all of that marketing. Take Givenchy’s new fragrance [...]
