Pi by Givenchy

Posted on 2023-02-16

Crumbly marzipan cookies dusted with icing sugar à la 3.14159265. That’s Givenchy Pi. In this post, I take you back a few decades to review an early gourmand I first discovered in a Montreal department store on a home visit between jobs here in Japan. I had a boyfriend at the time who smelled delicious…

Jimmy Choo & Jimmy Choo Exotic 2014

Posted on 2022-12-12

Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo is an eau de parfum first released in 2011, created by master perfumer Olivier Polge. That guy rarely makes a mistake. Indeed, when this juice, housed in an elegant grenade glass bottle. came out over a decade ago, I was all ga ga over it. I tend to enjoy gourmands,…

Salt Caramel by Shay & Blue

Posted on 2022-09-252022-09-25

I have a true gourmand’s dream here to review today. I’m talking about the mouthwatering, chewy, and bakery-like fragrance that is Salt Caramel by Shay & Blue, released in 2014. I didn’t get it long ago, but only have a little left in my 30 ml bottle. It’s delish, and smells pretty much exactly like…

Sonia Rykiel by Sonia Rykiel

Posted on 2022-09-112022-09-25

Posted on 2022-08-282022-08-28

L’Artisan Parfumeur is a fragrance house of over 40 years that appears to have the honour of the title, “first niche perfumery.” Apparently, chemist Jean Laporte started up the endeavor after successfully meeting a challenge to create a banana scented fragrance to match a costume of the same fruit for some gala event, and subsequently…

BLV Notte Pour Homme by Bvlgari

Posted on 2022-08-22

BLV Notte Pour Homme is an oriental amber woody fragrance launched in 2004, and Alberto Morillas is the nose. No surprise, then, that it’s a good quality concoction, as Morillas is the great master behind some fantastic smells from the likes of YSL, Carolina Herrera, Kilian, and more. Sadly, I think this one has been…

Look what my cactus plant pushed forth over the weekend! There’s always something in bloom every month of the year where I live. Blessed!
Great discount on the bottle of #diorgrismontaigne ...with reason. The nozzle was busted. I googled all the things one can do in such a situation, and one actually worked!
My AI + prompt generated painting of a perfume bottle. I put "Chanel" in there, but it looks like #midjourney (the software I used) might be blocked from making use of copyrighted content (a good thing). It also generates some creepy facial features on both humans and animals. Both incredible and scarey tech, though!
