Hi, everyone! I’m back with my Sunday round-up, as usual. This past week was very low-key for me. I came down with something over Easter and, as a result, I was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. You may have noticed I didn’t have a new post up mid-week. I just didn’t have the … More What I Wore This Week

It’s hard to pick out something to wear in the morning — for both fragrance and clothing! Monday: YSL Cinéma Tuesday: Tendre Madeleine by Laurence Dumont Les … More What I Wore This Week

Jo Malone was one of the first fragrance houses that I explored in depth back around 2011- 2012 because it’s reasonably accessible and I initially found the scents approachable. Some people swear by Jo Malone. Others dislike … More Dark Amber & Ginger Lily by Jo Malone

Notes: Damask rose, bergamot, saffron, roasted seashells, frankincense, elder flower, patchouli, cade, agarwood, and labdanum. I feel a bit embarrassed that I’ve been into perfumery for so many years now, yet I’m only now trying January Scent Project. What took me so long?! This is one of the really creative indie houses out there right … More Smolderose by January Scent Project
