Chic your bottle
Your Thierry Mugler Angel apparently wants its own wardrobe. (We posted one of the covers here.)
Friday scent of the day 10/21
It’s Trick Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that smells entirely different from its name (or feel free to interpret “trick” in some other way). Hat tip to Happy888cat for the idea!
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m wearing Lolita Lempicka Sweet. The trick: despite the name (and the visuals), it smells more like a chocolate-cherry Lipsmacker than a calorific dessert, and in comparison with your average modern gourmand, it’s a lightweight.
Reminder: 10/28 will be Treat Friday…
It’s not Beyonce

It’s Britney, bitch.

Les Parfums de Rosine Rose des Neiges ~ fragrance review
Les Parfums de Rosine has been one of my favorite niche perfume houses for the past decade, so I always look forward to trying its newest releases. This fall, Rosine has launched Rose des Neiges, “a modern interpretation of a powdery rose” inspired by the image of an unexpected late-autumn snowfall that frosts all the flowers in a rose garden. Rose des Neiges was developed by perfumer Nicholas Bonneville and includes top notes of mandarin, pink pepper, lychee and watermelon; heart notes of rose and white violet; and base notes of sandalwood, ambroxan, heliotrope and musks.
“Powdery” is an understatement here…
