Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez- A Book Review

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-Blonde

The amount of mental energy I’ve spent over the last three weeks deliberating if I should review the book or not, could have been spent on something far more productive or inspiring. Like catching up on email or organizing my shoes by color. At first, …

ginger on my mind

from scentedwench @ The Scented Wench

When I picture a fire-breathing dragon, I tend to think of ginger from several angles.  Ginger is sweetness, spice, sharp edges that dull into almost cool surfaces, warmth, and fire in the belly.  And it’s one of those aromatics that is unmistakeable, much like cinnamon cannot be mistaken for any other essence.

Nocturnal Me- Nocturnes De Caron

Perfumed Thoughts : Natural Perfumery

from Divina @ Fragrance Bouquet

Today 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
