Maharanih_bottle.jpg

 

Luckyscent has received the latest Maharanih by Parfums de Nicolaï, which we already reviewed here.  It is a truly lovely feminine dry or semi-sweet citrusy and amber scent, which feels both lushly Oriental and very French.

They also have Absolument Absinthe, an amazing wormwood-based skin scent that is designed to intimately adapt to your body chemistry (give it some time, it's worth it!) Please read our review here.

Ore by Zents {Perfume Review & Musings} {Men's Cologne of the Week} {Holiday Gift Idea}

Ore.jpg

I have been wanting to review Ore by Zents for some time now and realizing that it would make a great gift for Christmas/the Holidays, I am finally making it happen.

My first encounter with Ore was in a store in Harvard Square that is now, alas, defunct but that was then chock-full of beauty and health products. It was called Harnetts. At one time, I am reminded with nostalgia, they also had a juice bar. Fast-forward to last spring. As they were liquidating their goods several months ago, I saw the industrial juicer amidst empty shelves and later even its future proprietor laying his eager and happy hands on it. Ah well, all this no more now....

Bombshell Bargains Special Offers Dec 11-20 {Shopping Tips} {Beauty Notes}

BombshellBargains.png

I received this announcement from the Bombshell Bargains girls and let me tell you that their website looks like a treasure trove of hip beauty bargains. I looked at the prices and thought they were very reasonable until from the corner of my eye my attention got caught by a sign saying, what? "All prices are in Can $"!!!. That's even better and makes these bargains real steals! They should maybe reconsider naming their store Bombshell Steals. Anyway, here are the particulars of their special offers:....

Update on the Classics by Nina Ricci: Coeur Joie, Fille d'Eve, Capricci, and Farouche {Scented Paths & Fragrant Addresses} {Holiday Gift Ideas}

Farouche_NinaRicci.png

I had the opportunity to speak with a rep from Nina Ricci, a charming and very helpful young man by the way, and the following is the complementary information I was given.

According to Nina Ricci, the possibility of purchasing the classic fragrances Coeur Joie (1946), Fille d'Eve (1952), Capricci (1961), and Farouche (1974) has always remained. The way the system works is that you need to custom-order them unless the very select perfumery you address yourself to happens to have the scent you are looking for....

Smell Like Home For The Holidays by Luckyscent {Shopping Tips} {Holiday Gift Ideas}

 
 
Luckyscent_Holiday.jpg

From the niche perfumery Luckyscent and in particular the lovely Michelyn Camen comes the idea of a selection of fragrances and candles that was especially put together for those of us who won't be able to share the joys of the holidays with our families. A fragrance can be like a presence and so these carefully chosen aromas will fill you with memories or prepare for new ones.

I don't know about you but after perusing their selection I couldn't help but think that these would be great choices to use in the period prior to the holidays in order to make these last longer than a couple of days and prepare us for the spirit of the season. I especially envision myself starting to burn holiday-themed candles in the period of the Advent...
