I received Cinema Eau d'Ete as a gift. It's surprisingly likeable for a bright, citrusy scent, which isn't my usual style. The mix of citrus & floral notes really shimmers--although, I could see where...
Innocent Secret is a new collaboration between Thierry Mugler and Victoria's Secret, available online and at VS Beauty stores. It reminds me a great deal of Mugler's Angel Innocent. Even the bottle is...
Another of my favorite Chanel perfumes. I have the EDT & lotion, both wonderfully soft and elegant. It's not a sharp white floral, like many tuberose/gardenia-dominant perfumes are, at least to my nos...

I recently "re-discovered" Chanel no. 5 after receiving EDP samples from Sephora, and I love it! Previously, I had only smelled it on a test strip, where it smelled completely different. But on my ski...
