from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeMichael has everything going against it. From the smuggness of the designer (Project Runway viewers can join my cringing every time Heidi Klum introduces him as “top American designer, Michael Kors!”, though it gets better once the guy actually starts …

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThere’s something about Nocturnes. While I can be fond of some aldehydic florals from a safe distance, I usually prefer not to wear them because if the age-old reason: They’re not “me”. I prefer thicker, darker compositions, enigmatic personalities and…

One of the few Lush products I’ve tried that I can give an unreserved recommendation for is Silky Underwear dusting powder. The listed ingredients are: Cornstarch, Kaolin, Fair Trade Cocoa Butter, Magnesium Carbonate, Perfume, Jasmine Absolute, Vetiver…

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetToday I want to touch on a subject that is slightly difficult for me to broach, not only because of its slightly controversial nature, but also because, admittedly, I am not as well informed as I would like to be. Still, it is something that has been on my mind for over a week now and I would rather take the chance to share my thoughts with you while they are fresh, rather than wait. Today’s

from Mary @ Tea, Sympathy, and PerfumeThe fabulous Dawn made this review possible. After testing Incense Rose’ by Andy Tauer for a couple of days, I have to say that my reaction to this scent is one of hate/love. It’s a really wonderful rosy incense, but I have to endure the top to get the…

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetThe weather has been absolutely lovely the last few days: the sky a gorgeous blue without a cloud in sight, the chestnut trees blossoming, the central heating turned off (hopefully) for good and the French doors leading to my balcony left open all day long in order to let the light breeze caress my skin as I work. The days are lasting longer, and all I can think about as evening approaches, is

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThis little review could have gone really, really bad. This thought crossed my mind the other day as I was liberally applying Tubéreuse by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier and realizing seconds later that testing a tuberose perfume on a day the water compa…

Once upon a time, in an enchanted land far, far away, a beautiful unicorn pranced and pawed in a shimmering meadow on a carpet of violets. His silver hooves flashed and his milk-white flanks gleamed under the light of the full moon. His tail flowed beh…

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetThose of you that read Fragrance Bouquet regularly probably already know of my love for Pierre Montale’s line of perfumes. My feelings for the house can be compared to the feeling of helplessly falling in love with someone whom you realize deeply understands you and what you are about the moment you start talking with them. Suddenly a connection is built, much faster than you’d normally expect.

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeIt’s spring and green perfumes are the order of the day. The problem is that too many of them fall under the “fresh” category, and I don’t do fresh (or airy, or light, or… you get the picture). Also, my skin tends to eliminate green notes almost on a…

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetI tried to be a trooper most of last week and managed to post on both Monday and Wednesday… As some of you perhaps read in the comment section I have been suffering from the flu, yet again. Friday morning I was taken to the doctor because I was suffering such pain that I thought the neighbors were bound to come knocking at my door to see what all the screaming was about. I seem to be getting

Okay, I guess it’s official, I like perfumes that smell like cardboard.Last night and again today I’m wearing Iris Taizo EDT by Parfumerie Generale (the French perfumer Pierre Guillaume’s house). I dug this little gem out of my sample box in a fit of c…

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetShapeless see-through shifts, 80’s inspired man-jackets that make me think of Don Johnson circa Miami Vice, garish combinations of colors, high-waisted trousers of tent-like proportions we’d need stilts to make work, hand painted silks noone but a fashion victim would want to wear (why, Dries?), matronly full-skirts and florals, florals, florals - the only one of the aforementioned spring trends

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeMy Serge Lutens habit is not exactly a secret, and the shelf space the bottles take in my perfume cabinet is steadily growing. The other day I was taking stock and checked to see which one is most likely to need restocking first. The answer is Vetiver …

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetMona di Orio is the type of house one wants to love: It is a house with integrity, solid background, commitment to high quality and last but certainly not least, wonderfully thoughtful packaging. Having said that, I’ll have to admit that even though it’s been more than a year since I first discovered the line, I never actually felt motivated enough to actually devote skin space for one of the

from Divina @ Fragrance BouquetGood morning, lovelies! This post is coming with rather more delay than I expected, but it will be an understatement to say that this week has been… rough. However, I am very excited to present here on Fragrance Bouquet the first blog review of Tommi Sooni’s debut fragrance, Tarantella. Are you excited? Let me tell you all about it.
Tommi Sooni is a brand new, Australian niche perfume line,

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThe very second I opened the sample of Vocalise, I knew it might not be a very good idea. I haven’t checked the notes, but I vaguely remembered it had something to do with fruit. The opening blast, though, wasn’t much of anything: just a sharp alcoholi…

I am closing this week -which has been incredible fun by the way- with a review of my personal favorite, Gotham. For those of you who have already tried Neil’s perfumes, I have a question: Which one is your favorite and why? There are still a number of perfumes by Neil I really want to try and

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThe first time I wore Onda by Swiss perfumer Vero Kern was on a rainy winter day. The streets were grey, damp and miserable. The wind was fierce, but not in a Christian Siriano way. It cut through my clothes, under my shawl , blowing my hair in all dir…
