Alice & Peter Perfumes
of Alice & Peter that they were now for sale on the main website. I swooped in and ordered all five right away. I am really hoping that they smell delicious; I am a huge gourmand fan. However, if not, I am still looking forward to displaying them in my glass cabinet. The bottles are too adorable for me to pass up. The shipping will take some time as the company is taking its first orders this...

Skin Types and Fragrances
conditions that can lower the pH of a persons skin. One method to make a fragrance last longer, especially for fair-skinned people, is to moisturize the skin before applying your fragrance. It is suggested that you choose a moisturizer that is unscented. This way you will not layer too many different scents on top of one another and subsequently combine your fragrance unintentionally.

What is immedaitely evident, however, is that this is not just a simple Rose fragrance. I stand to be corrected, but I think the combination of Cardamom and Elemi in the top notes are creating what my nose picks up as 'clean-skin-in-the-sunshine' ... combining with almond milk to create a soft...

Perfumery as art
use. What is perfume without the wearer? What is the scent of one hand clapping? The construct of perfumer-as-auteur implies activity/passivity, the receiving and consumption of a product made by experts.

An Arabian Adventure
while another one called Madinah is a beautiful blend of sweet fresh florals with Rose, Jasmine, Orchid, Saffron and Sandalwood notes. Simply incredible ... I love wearing them. One can pay anywhere from just a few dollars for 3 mls of oil to a few hundred dollars and beyond for some of the top end spray fragrances. At the end of the day it's all relative I suppose ... it's very much a situation of want...

How To Write a Good Perfume Review
interest in. Having a cup of coffee together, she told me about her concept... It is problematic if descriptions and evaluations become too drastic and radical, especially if they are negative and disgusting: This perfume smells like dog turd - such a statement causes the reader to stop immediately since nobody would be going to examine that in detail if he finds it on the street.
