Jazmin Sarai Solar’1 Perfume Review
EauMG

4y ago
Jazmin Sarai is an indie perfume house that focuses on “immersive experiences”. So, it’s a brand that likes to connect scent to visual and auditory arts. Years ago, I had tried the brand when it was launched and I was impressed. Since then the brand has launched some more perfumes and I’m finally trying them. Solar’1 is a perfume inspired by D’Angelo’s Africa (2000). Solar’1 is spicy. It opens with fire. It’s like dried hot spices like allspice, cinnamon, turmeric and ginger. It’s really like Chinese five-spice powder in perfume form. The note list of this fragrance reads as foody. I m ..read more

Chloe Nomade EDT Perfume Review
EauMG

4y ago
Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume When it comes to Chloé perfumes, I don’t really have an opinion one way or another. When I do, they discontinue whatever I like (such as Love, Chloé). Everything else has been a rose-y flanker that basically define “generic perfume” smells. It’s not that those are bad; I’m actually genuinely in awe of their line for creating things that are so generic that I can’t even describe them. They posses a special power because there are few perfumes that make me shut up. When Chloé launched Nomade, I was in no rush to try it. It marketed its ..read more

Nateeva Bahamas Perfume Review

The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. Long story short, I didn’t get to publish this review in August, the month I focused on beachy perfumes. I got busy but I really wanted to cover my favorite in the Nateeva line before wrapping up this series. And now I’m posting this review after the Bahamas have been devastated by Hurricane Dorian, the most damaging hurricane reported in the country. It feels really off to post this now, but it was in the queue. Maybe I can say this is a perfume review and also a friendly reminder to make sure you are prepared for emergenci ..read more

Nateeva Dominican Republic Perfume Review
EauMG

The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. I can’t believe this month is almost over…and that summer 2019 is coming to an end. I’m trying to squeeze in the last few “beach” scents while it’s still officially summer. I’ve saved my favorite and my least favorite from Nateeva as my last in this series: Dominican Republic opens as a citrus-hued rose. It’s predominately a grapefruit-rose with a glistening bergamot. There’s also a generic herbal greenness that I really can’t put my finger on but it’s familiar. As it wears, it’s a dewy, watery floral. It’s like those th ..read more

Nateeva St. Martin Perfume Review
EauMG
by Victoria
4y ago
The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. Earlier this month, I kicked off the beach theme with a line of perfumes inspired by islands, Nateeva. As the month ends, I’m close to reviewing them all. ₁ Our next stop is St. Martin: Saint Martin is a tropical floral. It opens with a breeze of jasmine and hibiscus mixed with tart, fresh raspberries. The fragrance starts out as a white floral but eventually turns into a yellow floral. It’s a cucumber-like mimosa and pollen-y, heady freesia. It dries down to a jasmine musk. I ended up wearing this on an incredibly hum ..read more

Sarah Horowitz Perfect Coconut Milk EDP & Perfume Oil Review
EauMG
by Victoria
5y ago
The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. The month isn’t over yet so you better believe I’m still going to talk about coconut perfumes. Beach perfumes don’t have to smell like coconuts and coconut perfumes don’t have to smell like the beach. But, let’s be real, when most of us see the word “coconut” in a perfume’s name or in its note list, we are expecting something that smells beach-y. Sarah Horowitz is a line that was introduced to very early on in my fragrance journey. Back then, it wasn’t something I could easily get my hands on but people talk about this ..read more

Alkemia Perfume Reviews – Sea Inspired Scents
EauMG

5y ago
The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. Alkemia is an indie perfume line that mainly focuses on affordable perfume oils. It’s a brand that was brought to my attention via my Instagram stories when I asked about “perfumes for work”. Sure, you can wear whatever you want to work but I try to not be too distracting in our open floor plan. Big Sur was recommended to me. Since all the perfumes are cheap, I bought it and a lot of other samples. Here’s my thoughts on some of the “beach” ones I ordered. BIG SUR Notes listed include jasmine tea, lime leaves, green am ..read more

DSH Perfumes Maui Perfume Review
EauMG

5y ago
The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. In case you’re just tuning in, I’m a huge fan of Dawn Spencer Hurwitz of DSH Perfumes work. In fact, she’s partially responsible for why EauMG still exists today. Her perfumes were my first real introduction to indie perfumery. Since trying her perfumes, I have tried hundreds of indie perfumes, many I have covered on this blog. So, I’ve learned with DSH, there’s a massive catalog of scents, and that I shouldn’t make any assumptions about the fragrance until I try them. I mean, this woman convinced me that there is a pea ..read more

Nateeva Jamaica Perfume Review
EauMG
by Victoria
5y ago
The Beach Eaus – A month of beach and ocean inspired perfumes. Out of the Nateeva line, Jamaica is one that seems the most “beachy” to me. That doesn’t mean that it necessarily smells like an actual beach but it smells more like perfumes marketed as tropical and beachy. Jamaica opens with spicy, ozonic tropical florals over warm sand. It smells like an oceanic breeze through trees covered in flowering vines. There’s a brightness from citrus that fades rather quickly. At first, I thought Jamaica smelled like coconut. Then it started to come across like woods, like a creamy, spiced sa ..read more

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular (Limited Edition) Perfume AND The Beach Eaus – A Month of Sniffing Beach & Ocean Inspired Perfumes I’m not going to get into all of my weird phobias, but I will say this, a cruise is my personal version of hell. I’m not judging anyone that enjoys them. I’m just saying that I have issues and it’s like a cruise combines all of my phobias and has the audacity of charging me money for it. The newest limited edition summer Mugler Angel flanker is “cruise water”. Angel Eau Croisière is a perfume inspired by what I consider my own personal nig ..read more
