Guerlain Le Petit Robe Noire EDT review

September 5, 2012.Reading time 3 minutes.

You’ve got to give it to Guerlain; they know how to make iconic, timeless scents. Still, while there’s no doubt that Shalimar and Mitsouko are veritable masterpieces, they’re not for me. In my mind, they’re for an older, more sophisticated woman. Thus, I was very interested in sniffing the fragrance house’s newest scent, Le Petit Robe Noire, intended […]

Clarins Eau des Jardins expands its line to include an indulgent body cream and shower gel

September 4, 2012.Reading time 3 minutes.

I love Clarins’ treatment fragrances, particularly Eau Dynamisante. I’ve been wearing it since I was fifteen and would always make a point of dousing myself in it before I hit the beach. (It’s alcohol-free so you can, it’s not going to cause sun spots when it schmingles with the sun’s dangerous UV rays.) As a result, […]

Thierry Mugler Alien and Angel Aqua Chic EDT review

September 3, 2012.Reading time 4 minutes.

I have a bit of a tumultuous relationship with Thierry Mugler’s Angel. It’s one of those divisive fragrances that you either love or hate and, upon first sniff, I totally fell into the hater category. Years went by and I ended up being given a fresher, lighter, ‘summer version’ of the scent and decided I […]

August 30, 2012.Reading time 4 minutes.

According to Dove, 34-percent of women have ‘dry hair’. (It’s something you’re either born with or end up with as a result of over-processing.) Fortunately, if you’re one of them, there’s an array of hydrating hair products on the shelves and now Dove has joined the party with their Nourishing Oil Care range. The new […]
