Monday scent of the day 2/10
It’s Monday and Umbrella Day. (Appropriately enough, I woke to the tail end of a storm, with a huge rainbow over the Caribbean Sea.) What fragrance are you wearing?

Reminder: 2/14 we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day…
Lazy weekend poll ~ Happy 15th Birthday, Now Smell This
If you’d asked me when we turned 5, or again when we turned 10, I probably would have scoffed at the idea that we would make it to 15. But here we are!

Diptyque Eau Capitale ~ fragrance review
It’s February, and Diptyque has launched a new fragrance named Eau Capitale for its permanent collection, as well as a new limited edition scented candle called Paris en Fleur. All these products (Eau de Parfum and solid perfume for Eau Capitale, candles and scented wax oval for Paris En Fleur) are decorated with truly beautiful Art Nouveau-inspired patterns that feature “emblematic roses.” I have to admit, this launch is all very well-timed for Valentine’s Day, yet it’s not your average candy-sweet throwaway treat.
Eau Capitale is an homage to Diptyque’s hometown…
