Banana Republic Icon Collection – the first 5 – REVIEW

Posted on 2021-01-24

In the major cities of Japan, we do indeed have a few Banana Republic (BR) fashion chains, but they’re not as prominent as Zara, H&M, or TipTop. I don’t frequent these stores because I don’t live in a large city, they only carry Japanese sizes, and because Japan is not a fragrance culture, it’s harder…

Three Favourites from Annick Goutal

Posted on 2021-01-152021-01-16

Founder and perfumer Annick Goutal sadly died at the end of the 90s, when she was just a year younger than I myself am right now, but her perfumes and her brand survive and thrive today, led by her daughter Camille and former perfume partner Isabelle Doyen. She was born in Aix-en-Provence into a large…

Loretta by Perfumer Andy Tauer

OMG, I know it’s not the most…

Light Blue (Eau Intense) by Dolce & Gabbana

Posted on 2020-10-252021-01-15

I had a bottle of D&G Light Blue some time ago that I wanted to write about, but I went through that faster than a greyhound at the races. My fast consumption was not due to my love of the fragrance, but rather due to its dismal longevity. The fragrance barely lasted an hour on…

Three Wonderful Woody Scents: Enre Noire (Lalique), Sycamore (Chanel), and Santal 33 (LeLabo)

Posted on 2020-10-042020-10-10

What do Chanel’s Sycomore, Lalique’s Encre Noire and Le Labo’s Santal 33 have in common? They’re all dry, woody, extremely unisex fragrances that don’t scream for attention, but rather calmly and elegantly command your respect. But which is better?  Sycomore Sycomore from Chanel was created by Jacgues Polge and I think Christopher Sheldrake may have…
