Quick sniffs: fragrances from Diptyque, Lush, Katy Perry & Soivohle’
Once again, I am lacking a theme, unless you call “fragrances I tried recently” a theme. So without further introduction, here are quick reviews of Diptyque’s Eau Particulière & Eau Mage, Dear John by Lush, Meow! by Katy Perry and Soivohle’ Jasmine Summer.

Her license is with Gigantic Parfums, which appears to be a new-ish company set up by people who came from Parlux — Parlux being the company that creates perfumes under the names Paris Hilton and Queen Latifah, among others.
When the fragrance deal was announced, Perry told Women’s Wear Daily that Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers project was “my example of how I want to do things”, and as it turns out, that’s just how she has done things: she came up with a way fun bottle, and then didn’t lose undue sleep over the juice…
