Scentsational Greetings makes scented greeting cards: you gently rub the front of the cards to release the fragrance. Shown above: one of their vanilla-scented cards; you'll also find cards in lavender, coffee, rose, ocean breeze, lemon, Christmas tree, gingerbread and peppermint. They're in some retail stores (mostly in California at the moment) and they've also got an Etsy shop.
Dear Scentsational Greetings, please make me a holiday card that smells like i Profumi di Firenze Spezie dè Medici.
I'm leaving today for two weeks at the beach. The blog won't be idle, though: tomorrow, look for Pia's review of EO Peppermint & Tea Tree hand soap. Next week, Angela will continue with the "Cheap Thrills" theme that Kevin kicked off on Friday with the Axe Proximity reviews (look for Dana Tabu, Revlon Charlie & more). I might be a little slow with shopping reports and new fragrance announcements (and I'll almost certainly be slower than my usual slow at answering emails), but I'll do my best to keep up.

It's spring, that time of year when many women (and men? is this universal?) start knocking off the sweets in a last-ditch effort to lose a few pounds before swimsuit season officially begins. Or so I'm told. Happily, no such impulse has come over me as of yet. Here are seven dark chocolate bars, listed in order of my preference from outstanding right on down through disgusting, along with the usual random perfume recommendations because this is a PERFUME blog.
Starting out with awesome! eat three!, we've got the Calindia bar by Vosges (cardamom, organic walnuts, dried plums dark chocolate, see image above). This doesn't have quite the same rush of cardamom as Dolfin's Noir Cardamome, but it's still a generously spiced bar…
