Saint Salvage

She keeps her Moet and Chandon is a pretty cabinet.... I received a sample of Katy Perry's "Killer Queen" . It arrived on a fold-out postcard. This is the outside of the card. I removed my address.  I like that it has a QR code.... scan it with your smart phone (I used Scanlife), and it takes you to the website. This is the inside of the card. To sample, peel off on side of the blister packet. One to try today, and another to try tomorrow. The sample swab can be used to freshen a drawer or your car. Here's the scent breakdown: Top Notes: Dark Plum, Wild Berry, Bergamot Middle Notes: Natural Jasmine Sambac, Rainbow Plumeria, Red Velvet Flower Base Notes: Cashmeran, Natural Patchouli Heart, Liquid Praline I found that it's warm, cozy and sensual. Feminine and empowering. Gourmand and yummy. It smells similar to Viktor and Rolf's "Flowerbomb", similar to Beyonce's "Heat", and similar to Rihanna's...

I have been on a cleaning, organizing plan since moving back into the house after the fire. Today, I took a baby step.... Combining two partial bottles of similar fragrance into one bottle.  The subjects of my experiment are: Original Jovan Musk for Women  and  Jovan Satisfaction for Women So, I started by going to  Fragrantica  to research how to remove the spray nozzles. Step one: remove the plastic caps and nozzles. Get the pliers. Step 2: Use the pliers to gently pull off the metal cap, and release the seal. Pull up the tube and cap.  Step 3: Repeat the process with the other bottle. Step 4: (Duh) Combine the bottles. Step 5: Put the metal cap and nozzle apparatus back on and attempt to re-crimp the metal.

Here's my latest fragrance obsession: Rebelle by Rihanna for women Eau de Parfum I tried it last night (12/20), because a huge display was near the checkout area at my local Sears. I normally tend to stay away from "celebrity" fragrances, but the bottle caught my eye. I sprayed it on, and at first.... wow! Very intense. Sexual. It is definitely a gourmand, with with cacao, coffee, patchouli and an almond/ marzipan and ginger layer to it. Quite complex. It definitely smells similar to Thierry Mugler's Angel. I found a bottle today at my local Walmart, and it was listed is $19.99 for 1 oz, but it had a $5 off coupon.... the last one on the shelf! I definitely give it 2 thumbs up! I left this same review on Fragrantica . It seems like other people agree with me. It's awesome.
