Earlier, I wrote about a couple of men’s gift sets,  perfect for Valentine’s Day. They featured ingredients like Maca Root and Hemp Oil, so they were the perfect fit for Pretty By Nature. While shopping around The Body Shop, I found a men’s fragrance gift set that didn’t exactly fit PBN, but was perfect for Fragrance.  A  White Musk fragrance duo  for men. I love a note of musk.  
The Body Shop’s White Musk Eau de Toilette is joined by their White Musk 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash. They are packed into a reusable container made from texturized paper …read more

I was shopping at Victoria’s Secret in the mall the other day. While there I decided to try a few of the fragrances that I have written about  in the past; Sexy Little Things Love Rocks and Sexy Little Things Noir. I also tried Very Sexy For Him.
I tried a second men’s scent, but I can’t remember the name and it’s not listed online yet. I wish I’d had my notebook with me. The fragrance had a very green scent and the notes sounded much like Very Sexy For Him 2. It smelled very green and fresh – full of …read more

La Prairie’s new Life Threads line is a fragrance collection that represents life lines or the threads that bind us.
“Life’s tapestry is rich with entanglements.. mysteries waiting to be unraveled. We like to think we cherish freedom with no strings attached, but in our heart of hearts we know… the ties that bind are the ones that count.”
Interesting concept. The line consists of three fragrance “threads”; Silver (a Woody Floral), Gold (an Oriental), and Platinum (a Chypre).  La Prairie Ear de Parfums are lovely, angular, thread-decorated, 1.7 ounce bottles that retail for $125.
