5 perfumes ~ vanilla fragrances for summer

Posted by Robin on 2 August 2018 37 Comments

I should have written this post weeks ago, when we had a brief period of glorious summer weather. Other than that, it’s been a rather odd summer, weather-wise, after a rather odd spring. At the moment, we’re having the usual heat and humidity you’d expect in August, but far more gray, gloomy days than usual for this time of year, and we seem to be on a daily thunderstorm schedule. But onward and upward: this is the last of my seasonal vanilla posts, since I’ve already done fall, winter and spring. As always, do chime in with your own picks in the comments!

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 July 2017 7 Comments

Smell like New York City wherever you go, with the Le Labo Santal 33 Collection: "The classic image of a man and his horse in front of the fire on a great plain under tall, blue evening skies—a defining image of the spirit of the American West—is the inspiration behind Santal 33. Born from the ambition to create an olfactory form of this powerful idea, this woody, rich scent opens with violet accord and cardamom." Includes two travel-sized Shower Gel bottles, two travel-sized Body Lotion bottles, a fragrance sample and a waxed canvas pouch. $95 at Nordstrom.
