L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Collection
What better time than right in the middle of the National Cherry Blossom Festival to highlight L’Occitane’s Cherry Blossom Collection? Is anyone in D.C. right now?? I’ve never been during their Cherry Blossom season, but the photos I’ve seen are unbelievable! Not to mention Cherry Blossoms are just one more reason, on an already long … Continue reading “L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Collection”
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Capri Eau Fraiche Skinscent
Estee Lauder is a perennial go-to for makeup and skincare (not that I needed confirmation, but if Tom Ford turns to them for help with his beauty range, you know they’re the best among the giants!), but I’ve never looked to them for fragrances.

Unfortunately candle prices have gotten out of control lately and worse yet so many of the $70-plus ones don’t have scents that linger … Continue reading “New Brand Alert: Thompson Ferrier”

The line is not only affordable, but effective (it was started by the founder of Bliss Spa), and the packaging/names of the products are killer. Admittedly, mostly because of the name, my favorite product in the line is the Sexy Mother … Continue reading “Soap & Glory Comes to Sephora”
Arquiste Parfumeur
A few weeks ago I went to a breakfast at Barneys New York on Madison to preview some of their new launches for Fall. The one that stood-out far and away as the most memorable was Arquiste, a new line of fragrances exclusive to Barneys, developed by architect Carlos Huber ($165-$175). The premise of the … Continue reading “Arquiste Parfumeur”
