Anna Sui Fragrances: Fairy Dances and Forbidden Affairs
Since 1999, Anna Sui has released more than 15 fragrances, each one sweeter than the last. Not all designers are able to infuse their signature styles into their scents, but Anna’s love of bold colors and patterns truly comes to life in these bottles. I recently tried her two most recent eau de toilettes, the … Continue reading “Anna Sui Fragrances: Fairy Dances and Forbidden Affairs”
L’Occitane Launches La Collection de Grasse
Today marks the debut of L’Occitane La Collection de Grasse ($75 for 75ml + various gift sets available), a new collection of scents inspired by … you guessed it …. the fragrance Mecca Grasse.

That’s what I get for stopping by my parents place for dinner … Continue reading “Prada Luna Rossa”
Versace Launches Eros
It might be obvious, but the new Versace men’s fragrance, Eros ($62), isn’t one I’d recommend a straight man go check-out. If you’re gay – and perhaps even if you’re a woman – however, it’s a nice, albeit somewhat aggressive scent….it’s inspired by a Greek God after-all! The first men’s scent that Donatella has launched … Continue reading “Versace Launches Eros”
