I was ready to pass off The Body Shop's Love Etc. as just another flaky, fruity/floral girly scent. (Chalk it up to the tween-esque, heart-covered box). But when I found out the fragrance was created by none other than Dominique Ropion, the renowned...
Marc Jacobs's Lola perfume bottle is like a little piece of sculpture, so it was only fitting that the brand would turn it into wearable art. Enter the Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring - the coolest cocktail bauble you ever did see. This little...
Axe Body Spray is billed as the chick magnet for men (you've probably seen those creepy "Chocolate Man" ads where desperate, ravenous women chomp off said man's body parts). And now, there's a fragrance that's claiming to do...
As much as I try to fight it, I'm pretty much a classic floral perfume girl at heart. The scent of roses and jasmine are some of the prettiest scents on earth for me, hence, my obsession with Stella McCartney's range of scents that riff on various...
Giorgio Armani is a man after my own heart when it comes to fragrances. Back in May, he told Women's Wear Daily that he could do without the so-called "elevator" fragrances that have become popular in North America: “American women like...
It's the little details in how a fragrance is presented – the way it's bottled, delivered, and ultimately spritzed on – that have a big impact on how I'll experience a scent. And luxury Italian fashion brand Prada misses nothing with the exquisite...
Most fragrances for women, it seems, are created by men. And while I'm sure men know a thing or three about the scent of a woman, sometimes, it takes a woman to discern what we really want to smell like. Case in point: Lancôme Hypnôse Senses, the...
Bond No. 9, purveyor of scents inspired by all things NYC, for its new fall fragrance launch in the Andy Warhol series, Success is a Job in New York . Has a nice ring to it, no? For me, it brings to mind the scheming ways of the cutthroat advertising...
Hot on the heels of Gwen Stefani's so-cute-I-can't-stand-it Harajuku Lovers line of fragrances comes Benefit's Crescent Row, a new trio of scents based on the personalities of three lovely ladies, Sofia, Lee Lee and Gina, all neighbours on...
I'm not sure what it is about citrusy scents that draw me like a moth to a flame. Maybe it's their crispness or their instantly energizing effects, but come summer, I want to douse myself in lemon-y, orange-y or grapefruit-y goodness. My latest...
Tom Ford's Erykah Badu-fronted scent, White Patchouli , has been out for some time now, but I've only just now gotten around to giving it a mention (since SugarShock was on hiatus at the time of its launch last fall). But as it turns out, there's...
When I think of celebrity fragrances, I usually think of the cotton-candy-like confectionery scents of the Paris Hiltons and Jessica Simpsons of the world – not my cup of tea. But on occasion, a celebrity scent comes along and surprises you with its sophistication...
You might be tempted to scoop up Narciso Rodriguez's new scent Essence based on the bottle alone, which is a beautiful silver sculptural art piece. But look a little further, and you'll find a sophisticated yet uber-feminine fragrance that is...
I think Strange Invisible Perfumes is quite possibly the best name ever for a fragrance house. It pretty much sums up for me the idea that fragrances are sometimes beyond description and that scent is hard to capture in words (unless you're Chandler...
Benefit, that cheeky, retro-ish beauty brand, isn't really known for their fragrances. Maybe Baby, a romantic floral concoction, has been their one and only staple scent for a few years now. But recently, they've added a second fragrance to the...
