Bits & Bobs & Pet Peeves...
Thought I would show off my latest acquisitions. Rather happy with these:
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: The Raven - Sleek, dark, and ominous. Violet and neroli mingled with iris, white sandalwood and dark musk. Sheol - The final burst of the soul’s light and joy before passing into the depths of the earth, and into the cords of Sheol; Sheol, who is never satisfied, and who makes wide her soul...

Oil Aboard!
Ahem, sorry for the little pun there, I couldn't help it. As you may have guessed, this post will be about perfume oils, one of my many passions. However, I don't have as many as I would like as most of the perfumers who create these little wonders aren't based in the UK and so I'm very often put off ordering because I'm always very impatient to get my hands on a new smelly. But I have got some from eBay to bolster my collection...

Out of the darkness...
Been away from the interwebby thing for a while, been feeling rather down. But getting back on the horse, so to speak! I have so many reviews that I want to do and so many pictures that I want to take! Planning and plotting again and looking for new smellies to enjoy! :-)

Happy bunny and it's no longer Easter!
I'm a happy bunny. I love taking pictures of my perfumes, but the last two pictures I particularly like. I've bought quite a few "cheapies" recently, some good some not so good. But I've taken pics of them all just the same. Most of my recent reviews have been of perfumes in the "reasonably priced" end of the market. But I have a heap of samples coming for more expensive fragrances and look forward...

Be still my beating heart!
I am finding that my love of perfumes is expanding in a most unusual direction. I have for many years now scorned the modern and very generic "fruity/floral" fragrances that have flooded the market. I do not have disdain for sweet perfumes, I love Gucci Eau De Parfum by Gucci, now sadly discontinued, or the sweetness of a rose in Moment de Bonheur by Yves Rocher. I have even been tempted by the juicy lychee...

A work in progress...and a thank you to Parfumo.net!
My daughter was laughing at me today as I was taking various pictures of some of my perfumes in order to show them off here. I told her that I have about 160 perfumes and that I was shocked when I counted them and realised it was so many. At this point she said that she thought I had more and that it looks like I have thousands. Now I know that teenagers have a propensity to exaggerate,...

My miniatures
I have a small but cute (I think) selection of miniature perfumes. I'm not an expert, I'm just a perfume enthusiast, so they may not have any financial value, but I love them just the same. I decided as I am settling in here to show some of my favourites in a little blog post.
I love this little Anna Sui miniature of Sui Dreams. It is so cute even though it isn't old or rare, it speaks to me as a beautiful...
