I wore Gin Fizz yesterday. It was…as I’ve experienced it before. I like it, but I decided a while ago that I don’t want a full bottle and that holds true now as well. I started a new public Instagram account a while ago that I just made private again. A man who followed aroundContinue reading “(Uninspired) Gin Fizz”

Carthusia To Save The Day
This is it. I’ll review two more Lubins but…*shrug* I’ve mostly given up for the summer on finding anything better because I love this one. It’s perfect. I’ll use it up. That’ll be fun. I know ages ago I said I’d stop buying any fragrances this year. Oops? *laugh* But I think this will beContinue reading “Carthusia To Save The Day”
Black Jade
I washed off the other two Lubins while getting dressed for the day. Now I’m trying Black Jade. I like it. It’s spicy but in a distant, quiet and removed sort of way. It’s not my full bottle… But I fully respect this one as well, and I find it quite enchanting. It reminds meContinue reading “Black Jade”
Princesses de Malabar and Epidor
I love the artistry behind these two fragrances but they are not my style. Epidor reminds me of Liz Claiborne circa 1990’s. Princesses de Malabar is fruity and… nice. Kind of like an updated version of the dried potpourri people used to use years ago. Maybe it reminds me a little of Lipstick Rose byContinue reading “Princesses de Malabar and Epidor”
Grisette and Itasca
When I first tried Itasca I decided it reminded me a lot of an early 1990’s fragrance in its style. Like something Prince would have worn. Masculine and opulent. Woody. Although, also somewhat…lacking in originality. Prince would have worn it to be polite and not to make a statement. Grissette was nice. Rosy. Nice. BasicallyContinue reading “Grisette and Itasca”
Korrigan
I love this one. It’s entirely possible I’ll buy a bottle of this and Upper Ten For Her and call my search finished. The notes on Fragrantica are listed as: Top notes of juniper berries, saffron and cognac. Middle notes of lavender, ambrette (musk mallow) and whiskey. Base notes of cedar, agarwood (oud), leather, vetiverContinue reading “Korrigan”
Akkad
So much for writing about all of the Lubins at once. It’s impossible to wear all the Lubins at the same time and figure each one out. They’re all different. But I’m very at peace today and not everything has to go perfectly if at least a something is improving. Akkad was a nice additionContinue reading “Akkad”
Fantastic! I Love Luckyscent.
My husband bought me a bottle of Carthusia Mediterraneo. And with that came samples of Lubin and four other lovely samples. I’ll quickly review the individual samples today and review Lubin tomorrow. Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Á La Rose: A gorgeous rose. My goodness… Some roses are proper and pretty. Elegant sure, but…demure. Á La RoseContinue reading “Fantastic! I Love Luckyscent.”
Waiting For Samples Continues… Thoughts.
Some people may be open-minded and honest enough to understand us. Even just a bit. They might clash with you or not on some things, but at heart they are possibly capable of understanding. One hopes… And then there are those who maybe consider the idea of being real or open enough to understand thoseContinue reading “Waiting For Samples Continues… Thoughts.”
Not Today
*frown* There was a delay in shipping so I’m still waiting for my perfume samples. *smiles* I was on Instagram today and saw posts by those who love old films. …You know, people in the past did dress so darn well. I look at some of the ordinary outfits they wore back then and IContinue reading “Not Today”
