    I got the Kat Von D one a couple weeks ago and it is GIGANTIC. I can’t even balance it on my fingers! I’m gonna have to alter it somehow (with ring beads or such). But it’s pretty cool. Still huge, though.

      Thanks! All three of these look huge to me…great fun but don’t think I could wear a ring that big.

      Tati, what do you think of Kat’s fragrances? Katie Puckrick gave them good reviews. I was going to dismiss them entirely, but now I’m sort of intrigued enough to at least try them.

        The best part is how the names actually fit the scents. I hope this is not a placebo effect working on me by reading all the info on these like: “There are two sides in all of us.” But I feel that statement is really accurate because it at least to me it DOES feel like smelling a yin and yang. The best way in that I can describe them is as two very edgy sides of the same elegant scent, except they both reached that scent through different notes. If that makes any sense, haha. I don’t even know if they do share any notes but that’s the thing that’s so hard for me to put into words… They smell -very- similar… but at the same time they don’t. Think about it as two twin sisters. They may come from the same family but they are not the same person.

        The first thing that comes to mind when I smell Sinner is ‘dangerous.’ And then Saint just makes me think of citrus and white. Also, I wouldn’t describe ‘Saint’ as the baby of the two, cause that is what the name first evoked on me. Before I ever smelled either of them, I thought Saint would be ridiculously sweet and mellow but it’s actually not quite like that. And regardless of being the ‘Saint’, it still maintains an edge to it.

        Maybe I just like these two so much since I can’t place any of the notes on them and they don’t smell all nice and pink like most perfumes I smelled over at Sephora that day. I haven’t (yet!) smelled any high end creations like say, Serge Lutens but these two gave me the strong impression that there wasn’t anything exactly quite like them among the other perfumes on the counters. Or the impression that they didn’t go through one-too-many focus groups.

        So yeah. I’m only a little newbie perfumista (in training?) but I hope this helps. :)

    I really love the idea of perfume rings, but I wish the scents available were more…..well, enticing. While the Lola flower ring looks gigglingly adorable, the perfume itself is so monumentally sugary and nondescript that it’s not really worth the nifty packaging. Ayala Moriel used to sell some enchanting poison rings with solid perfumes in them (she had one antique silver bee ring that I curse myself for not snatching while I could), but I think she may have stopped doing them.

    Does anyone know of other perfumed ring-makers?

      Oooh, I found Ayala’s bee ring:

      Isn’t it WONDERFUL? I want to pinch whoever got their lucky hands on it. Why can’t the world make more beautiful things like this, eh?

        Very cute, thanks for the link!

        Offhand can’t think of anyone else doing wonderful rings. Hope someone else will chime in if they know…

          I believe there’s an Angel coctail ring with solid perfume…

          I don’t know of any current ones, but this used to be done more often. I have a vintage ring that had belonged to my grandmother that contains Toujours Moi. I can’t detect the fragrance anymore, but the ring itself is very cool. It is large, but a wearable cocktail ring size. It’s goldtone with a depiction of the unicorn from the old medieval tapestry. I think I have mentioned this here before – sorry if I’m repeating myself.

    I haven’t tried any of these fragrances yet but now I’ll have to just to have an excuse to get these adorable rings.

      You usually just slide the top off, but it stays put, like a little hinge. Click on Zoom/More views here: http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P247300&categoryId=C18697# to see what I mean. :)

    I like that in the Kat Von D one the two scents are interchangeable … good idea that.

      Yes…more of these should be done that way & they should sell refills!

    Saw the Kat Von D one today. It really is giant. It looks like a UFO. Also Sinner smells like Angel, but I like it a whole lot better, and Saint smells like Pink Sugar in the opening, and then something I can’t even stand long enough to describe in the dry down.

    The Michael Kors ring is gorgeous.

      I guess they have to be giant to hold a reasonable amount of the perfume…but wish more brands would do solids as necklaces instead of rings.
