The Pefume House: A Love Story. Part 1 - The Fragrances

from Donna @ Aromascope

By Donna Hathaway
This is a story about one special place, which was made possible by some very special people. It is an unassuming little shop to the untrained eye, housed in a whimsical older building on a busy street, easy to pass on the way to bigger and brighter things. But if one takes the […]

BPAL Project: Love Me

from teacake @ teacakery

I figured with this sweet little name, so different from BPAL’s usual..{GOLGOMOTH’S URN}.. that this would be a sugary confection. Maybe a touch of heliotrope quickly drowned out with too much vanilla and finishing off with some standard bakery spice i…

Fragrance Bouquet on Summer Vacation

from Divina @ Fragrance Bouquet

My dears,

I am writing from Greece! I really wanted to post before I actually left, but things got so crazy on Friday… As I have said before, I somehow manage to not get almost any sleep before I leave on a trip. Friday was no exception. I was planning to write a nice post, but actually ended up packing until midnight and slept an hour later. I guess one in the morning does not sound too bad

New Bonds & biehl . parfumkuntswerke & Andy Mod!

from Patty @ Perfume Posse

Time to round up all my new samples I’ve gotten to sniff!

Bond Saks for Her — Notes of Jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, vetiver and vanilla.  I’m totally underwhelmed. It’s kinda nice, soft, nothing offensive here, and the drydown just fades… to a softish gardenia.   Okay, take that back, should have been more patient …

Coming Attractions: Onda

from Vetivresse @ Vetivresse: Nosing Around in Wine, Scent & Style

Zürich-based aromatologist/perfumer Vero Kern has succeeded in creating a “nastierpiece,” a nasty, irresistible, take-no-prisoners, exotic extrait de parfum called Onda which she has billed as a “fiery,” rooty vetiver. That said, Onda is not for the n…

Today I am 38…but inside I’m still mostly somewhere around 27, only wiser, happier, more confident. I can’t kvetch much about getting older because I was a miserable young person. I’m much better at this age. Of course, that’s doesn’t necessarily mea…

Perfume Review: Prada Cuir Ambre, Iris and Oeillet

from Colombina (Marina) @ Perfume-Smellin' Things Perfume Blog

A couple of years before releasing their signature scent into wide distribution, Prada launched a collection of several exclusive perfumes that were more or less only available in Prada boutiques. (I say “more or less”, because it seems that the fragrances also were or still are sold in Harrods as well as in Printemps and Galleries Lafayette in Paris ). The fragrances were Cuir Ambre, Fleur

Musk-Haves

from Vetivresse @ Vetivresse: Nosing Around in Wine, Scent & Style

Finding the unfindable

This article and picture was so interesting to me!

Sometimes the unthinkable becomes present and found. What will be the next findings? There are opportunities ahead of […]

To show how birthmother thoughts come in the midst of life

The Grocery List
Grocery List:
Butter
Eggs
Milk
Pasta
Sitting, looking at this list
things I need
but can do without
One more thing needs to be added
thing I need
but can’t do without
Are they really selfless
these mothers that never were?
I have another new dog
passed around too many times
in her young life
Jumps at every sound
wary but wanting
the love I can give
Meanwhile,
Loki snuggles on my lap

Park Avenue by Bond No. 9 : Perfume Review

from Divina @ Fragrance Bouquet

There is a garden that no longer exists anywhere but in my own heart, but its colors are still as vivid as they were when I could freely run and play in it as a child. It was my grandmother’s garden, where I spent a great deal of my childhood. The smells and colors throughout the year were truly a sight to behold… From the spectacular extravaganza of flowers to the generous fruit-bearing trees
