She Smells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore
Monday, 30 April 2007 12:00 A GMT-05
The weather is getting warmer, finally, and I know people are already starting to think about the beach. Not me. Although I live on the East Coast and am not far from the Atlantic Ocean, I'm not one to long for the smell of the ocean

Why fork over $72 hard-earned dollars to a snooty SA at Saks when I can order it from a discount e-tailer for $40?

Keiko Mecheri

One of the reasons I was interested in going to Takashimaya during the Sniffa Spring Fling was to sniff all of the Keiko Mecheri line. I had gotten a sample of Sanguine in my very first sample order from LuckyScent, and wasn't at all impres

Notes: red rose, aoud, labdanum, sandalwoodFrom all I've read about this scent, I thought it might be too dark and overpowering for me. The word "black" is a bit forbidding. But I had nothing to fear. The opening no

I have to thank Nancy of Fishbone Fragrances for getting a set of MDCI samples into my hot little hands. You rock! When I first dabbed on each of these fragrances, I thought, "these are not worth $600! There is absolutely nothing special about a

A Future Perfumeo?
Monday, 9 April 2007 7:23 A GMT-05
After Easter's feast of braised lamb and pierogis, I had a nice chat with my brother and brother-in-law. The subject of fragrance came up, as it did several times during the day, as everyone knew I had attended the Sniffapalooza Spring Flin
Sniffa Sunday
Thursday, 5 April 2007 12:00 A GMT-05
The first stop was Bond No. 9, the place I was most interested in visiting. I must say I was not at all disappointed! The two of us gobbled a quick breakfast at their buffet and quickly moved on to sniffing the many wonderful wares available to us.
