Thanks to a combination of damage-inducing hair color and a very dry climate, my long, thick, wavy hair is prone to serious dryness. I've tried a wide variety of deep-conditioning treatments, both hig...
This fragrance affirms my long-held suspicion that Annick Goutal and I will never be friends. I love myrrh, love its dark mysterious sweetness and its comforting vanillic undertones. But this is not m...
