Another Fall Look: Dior Dandy Collection

Among the more interesting options for fall 2008 we have the ‘Dandy’ collection from Dior. It’s interesting, and can be made wearable with a few adjustments. Nordstrom debuted it and within days (and before I made up my mind if I really need more pearl…

Liv Tyler Presents: Perfection

I’m back from Paris, tired and perfumed. There are many stories to tell, shopping advice and fun discoveries to share, but I’m too jet-lagged to make sense or form full sentences. Instead, I’d rather stare at Liv Tyler at the Christian Dior show of Par…

Glam Queen- Dior Vernis 708 Gold Nugget

As far as I’m concerned, the best part of Dior’s summer 2008 look, Golden Dior, is nail color. The collection has two colors, Coppery Ginger, pretty and lighter than you’d expect from the name, and Gold Nugget, which is more of a metallic mocha with go…

Stay Away From The Sun- Golden Dior Summer 2008

While we’re waiting for Chanel’s golden collection for fall, Dior already has something for us. It’s more of a concept than a full line of products, because some of the items that make the look aren’t really new and/or limited edition, which is not nec…

Dior Addict Extravaganza : Perfume Reviews (Part Two)

Welcome back for the second part of “Dior Addict Extravaganza”. Today, reviews of Addict Shine and Addict 2:

Dior Addict Shine:

Dior Addict Shine starts out with an intense and rather generic, rather synthetic smelling hit of tangerine and grapefruit. Upon first try, I completely dismiss this as a disappointing failure. I forget about it and start going about my day, when about half an hour

Walk The Line- Fresh and Dior Lip Pencils

Talking about lip liners is a bit boring. The subject falls under “if there’s something to say about it, you must be doing it wrong”, but since lining mistakes would make one channel Pamela Anderson, it is worthy of discussion.My all-time favorite lip …

Top Ten Perfumes of Winter!

As we are hitting mid-winter, the Holidays are over, and winter fatigue is setting in, instead of sitting around like Medusa, Stheno and Euryale - fighting over our one Gorgon tooth, eye and nose - we decided to be more, um, constructive. Here’s the Posse’s list of Top Ten …

In which I go to sephora…

…and save you the trouble.I’ll start with the non-perfume findings, because those are way more positive. And also because it’s my turn to add a cent or two of my thoughts to the much talked about Wall Street Journal article. Since it relates nicely t…

Dior Homme by Dior : Perfume Review

“Mmmmm, oooooooh, my!” …is all I can think, again and again every time I smell Dior Homme. How can something be so beautiful? This perfume has cast a spell on me: I am ready to make the wildly unrealistic proclamation that this is the classiest male fragrance I have ever smelled, at the very least among the non-niche offerings. Several weekends in a row now, I’ve found myself in front of the

Christian Dior La Collection Particuliere

The first glimpse of La Collection Particuliere… Be still my beating heart.

La Collection Particuliere Passage No 4: “A sovereign rose, a fiery pimento, a journey, a garden.”

La Collection Particuliere Passage No 8: “A velvet violet, a sophisticated iris, a dream, a burst of laughter.”

La Collection Particuliere Passage No 9: “A dazzling tuberose, creamy woods, late nights, fireworks.”

Perfume Review: Christian Dior Midnight Poison

Perfume Gods know that I wanted to love Midnight Poison! That I eagerly looked forward to trying it. That I almost bought it unsniffed (thank you, Perfume Gods, for somehow stopping me from doing that!). The original Poison is one of my true undying fragrance loves. I adore Eva Green and thought the advertisement was an exquisitely gothic delight. And, of course, I wanted to love the new scent

Time Travel- Miss Dior Parfum

How do you approach an iconic fragrance?There’s the history: Year of creation (1947), cultural connotations (the first years after WWII) and fashion reference (Christian Dior’s New Look). But it all vanishes the moment you apply the perfume to your ski…

Perfume in public places?

Tried and Tested : Midnight Poison by Dior

As was announced in the beginning of this month, Tried and Tested is one of the new monthly features of Fragrance Bouquet. I knew the first perfume I was going to test-drive was Midnight Poison by Dior, not only because it’s new, but also because it made such an impression on me: It was completely opposite of what I expected it to be. I was expecting it to be seductive, mysterious and most of all

Perfume Review: Christian Dior Eau Sauvage

Review by Tom

Lee of PerfumePosse and I recently had a ‘fume exchange: He sent me some SL’s he didn’t care for and I picked up a couple of bottles of things he wanted. He also slipped in generous samples of all sorts of things that I had not tried, and one that I had actually owned, but not had in years.

Flashback to the 70’s: I am a teenager and yes, I liked scents even then. I would ride my

Many thanks for the anniversary wishes. We had a great time playing in the city, had some excellent food (Café Boulud offers several vegetarian options), visited CB I Hate Perfume and added a few items to the ever-growing bottle collection. Now it’s c…

Perfume review: Eau Noire by Christian Dior

Review by Tom

Well, it was another hot weekend here in LA, which of course meant shopping. I visited the iPhone (see my blog for the reason why I’m not getting it), dropped into Neimans to once again realise that even at 50% off I can’t afford it, and variously cruised through other department stores along Wilshire Boulevard before deciding that yes, I did deserve a trip to Cold Stone Creamery
