Holiday’s over, time to leave the sunny beach, the pool of the resort, and all the restaurantes. I ate so much meat, that I think a third breast is popping up in the middle of my chest. I’m starting this post while waiting the flight back home. And could I leave without a careful inspection [...]

Are you one of those who wear perfume at the beach? If you are, may you be punished by swimming in a sea of Opium perfume. But if you decided to wear Diesel perfume Fuel for life, I may even decide to forgive you. I’m writing from a sunny beach in Lanzarote for a two [...]

The day I wore a Britney Spears perfume… My niece Bea and I are enjoying the weekend at my place. She’s having love issues, with a guy called Diego. You can read about them in the previous perfume review, although you may probably be more interested in the part where it talks about Paris Hilton [...]

My niece Beatriz is staying a couple of days at my place. She’s a wonderful specimen of 16 year old: smart, sweet, and beautiful…and with Paris Hilton Perfume Heiress as her favorite perfume. As soon as she arrived she asked me to prepare her a hot bath. That was not a good day for her, [...]

Attention (my half-dozen) readers: this post is about Chloé perfume, but first things first… I’m back home after a drink with a friend in distress. Denise was left by her boyfriend after ten years. Yes, ten years… man I so have NO idea what it means to be with someone for such a long time. [...]

Ah, being a university student again…. This Gucci Rush brings me back to that young and thoughtless time, where the year 2000 was about to begin, and we though that would change everything, just to find out that the biggest change would be in the numbers in the calendar. It is a rainy Sunday today, [...]

I’ve just come back from a dinner at a friends’ place. My friend let me go with a good spray of Palazzo by Fendi, a designer perfume, which is very popular and quite expensive (for those who are not perfume lovers). My friend Monica is a very beautiful woman (I wonder why she’s still single), [...]

Would you freaking believe that this perfume was created in 1948 and not only is it still on the market, but it remains the best seller of the perfume house? I don’t own this Nina Ricci perfume for women, but I am lucky to have my old dear aunt Mercedes, who has this one and [...]

Ok, after 19 posts and almost one year of this blog, it’s probably time for a personal confession. Through perfumes, of course: this Ralph Lauren perfume, Romance, is the one I use on dates. I already hear the second question coming: does it work? Of course it does! But always remember that a perfume is [...]

Jo Malone perfume, posh for a day, and thanks to my friends, for more than one. I said in my previous post on Paco Rabanne 1 Million that I would talk about perfumes given and received at Christmas. This Jo Malone Lotus Blossom and Water Lily belongs to the latter category, after all I couldn’t [...]

Juicy Couture was founded as a fashion house in 1996 by two women: Gela Nash-Taylor (wife of Duran Duran’s bass guitarist John Taylor) and Pamela Skaist-Levyas. Its becoming a multimillionaire business (now owned by Liz Claiborne) passed through the creation a “luxury” perfume line. I put “luxury” in brackets because I always found Juicy Couture [...]

Glow by JLo was launched in 2002 and it was the first time for this famous pop star in the perfume industry. Of course it was not the first perfume signed by a celebrity (do you know which was the first ever? No, not Britney spears, a little bit further back in time: Elizabeth Taylor [...]

This was the first Cartier perfume for women, launched in 1981. It was part of Cartier’s renaissance, which had started in the sixties. After the death of the last of the founder’s nephews, the company was bought by a group of investors, and a new range of luxury products called “Les Must de Cartier,” was [...]

Un Jardin Perfume by Hermes was originally launched in 2003 in a limited edition, but it soon became the first of Hermes’ perfume line called “Gardens.” It was also the first Hermes cologne created by Jean-Claude Ellena as exclusive perfume designer of the company. The aim of Ellena’s style is to evoke memories and feelings [...]

Happy perfume for women is a typical example of fragrance whose name is more famous than the perfume designer who made it. I don’t think the people down at the perfume house mind though, as long as this Clinique Happy perfume remains one of the their most famous fragrances so far. The name “Happy” is [...]

This Calvin Klein perfume for women is from 1988, and it is one of his most known fragrances. Even if it reached its peak of popularity during the nineties it’s still in the top ten of the most sold perfumes in the world. It was conceived as a romantic women’s perfume (both in the sense [...]

Beautiful Perfume, a classic from the eighties.

Angel perfume for women, either you love it or hate it. I have to confess that the first time I smelled Angel Perfume for women by fashion designer and photographer Thierry Mugler, I didn’t like it, or I should better say I really hated it. I thought it was a joke, a failed attempt  of [...]

Vera Wang Perfume Princess, sweet Rock ‘n Roll Vera Wang wedding dresses were the daydream of many women long before being featured in the Sex and the City movie. As happens to many in the field, the expansion to the world of perfumes and fragrances was simply natural, with the creation of Vera Wang perfumes [...]

Opium perfume for women, challenging bourgeois values one ad at the time. Opium perfume was the king of the 80s, and even though now it’s starting to show its age there’s no doubt that it’s here to stay. When it was launched in 1977, the name caused a lot of protests in the United States, [...]
