Angel Cologne by Thierry Mugler...


angel-cologneThierry Mugler’s passion for superheroes and theatrical fantasy are captured in a mesmerizing oriental gourmand fragrance called Angel. After its success in 1988, a full suite of Angel-inspired fragrances followed suit. Angel Men or A*Men, the men’s version of Angel, is an explosion of woody notes of musk and toasty aroma of roasted coffee beans. B*Men on the other hand is A*Men with zest. It’s a combination of masculine citrus scents and wood accords. The energy emanating from the Angel fragrances is a continuum of Mugler’s wild imagination. His perfumes show his penchant for anything cosmic and surreal.

Angel cologne is like dark chocolate in a bottle. It’s fiery, powerful and never fails to draw attention. Mugler’s fragrances emanate a distinct sweetness with a sillage that’s above average. It clings longer than expected. One dominating feature that is not entirely a surprise: it smells like food, the melt-in-your-mouth kind, you can almost eat it. Think caramel, vanilla, cotton candies and all the sugar-coated foodstuff that you can imagine. Some find the candy-like sweetness too juvenile, too cloying, and too playful. Angel is an acquired taste, to put it bluntly. Only those who appreciate the gourmand-themed perfumes can stand Angel.

Angel is a fashion fragrance. It’s nice to wear during the cold weather, afternoons with the girlfriend, traipsing around the mall but not advisable for office wear. That is according to the neutral reviews by various Angel Men users. One cannot really vouch for its versatility as each person’s chemistry gives the accords a different rendition. You can say that this is a love hate fragrance. It works well on others but reacts differently on some. Perfume aficionados even rate this as a unisex fragrance. The inherent sweetness perhaps is the reason why some women don Angel Men.
Here is one interpretation that seemingly adapts to Angel Men’s unique fragrance, “Strolling through the billowing snow, scarf around your neck, and tuque on your head, breath completely visible, and the warm yet subtle scent of hot cocoa, mint, and coffee beans rising from your jacket. Delicious and comforting in the best possible way.” And another one who thinks that there’s too much coffee in the fragrance,” Overall, A*Men is well constructed and quite potent so don’t expect to shower with it and still retain your olfactory receptors. It is unique and long-lasting, which makes it very special indeed considering that it came out in the era of the aquatic invasion. Despite the coffee imposition, a definite thumbs up.”

Why You Want A Leather Shoulder Handbag...


If you want to get a new handbag, whether that may be a replica handbag or any other type, a leather shoulder handbag is one of the best purchases that you will ever make. There are a few different reasons as to why you would want to purchase a leather shoulder handbag, and which will be discussed here in much more detail.

Selection

One of the main reasons that you will want to get a leather shoulder handbag is because there is such a vast selection. You can find a leather shoulder handbag in pretty much any size and style that you would want, as long as you are shopping at the right places. Leather is so easily accommodating into most types of bag, and so no matter what type of bag you may be interested in, you can find it in leather.

Versatility

Leather is also very versatile. In terms of your appearance, leather is a great choice for a handbag because it will go with so many of your outfits. With a leather shoulder handbag, and especially if you get it in a neutral color such as black, white or nude, you can wear it with pretty much any outfit.

This is obviously a really great thing because it means that you will be able to get that much more use out of your bag. Especially when it comes to leather and you know that you are going to be spending quite a bit of money to get an authentic leather bag, of course you want to ensure that you are getting the most value for your money.

All in all, a leather shoulder handbag is a really terrific buy, a purchase well worth the money spent because you are going to love it and it will be durable and last you through years of wear and tear. This is probably one of the greatest handbags that you will ever buy, one that is going to stay in your closet for years to come and provide you with years of use.

Just make sure that any leather handbag you buy has the features that you are looking for and isn’t some crazy, wild pattern or design that is only going to work with one or two outfits. An animal print or polka dot pattern for instance would really not be versatile at all, and so you want to stick more with more neutral shades.

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent...


m7-cologneM7 colgone by YSL embodies man’s innate sensual qualities – visceral and intense with an insatiable thirst for challenge. Like the modern man, M7 conveys an air of effortless masculinity. The fragrance grows on you and at some point, becomes you. It warms and dominates the senses with its agarwood-filled component. With elegant notes that proclaim one of a kind opulence, it creates a magnetic charm that may come across as addictive and quite intoxicating. M7 is a scent so unique that it empowers any man who wears it.

The seventh fragrance from the YSL perfumery, M7 is formulated as a rich and heavy scent teeming with rugged masculinity. The fragrance notes features earth-tones, wood accords, citrus, rosemary, bergamot and agarwood. M7 was launched in 2002 and was created by perfumers Jacques Cavalier and Alberto Morillas. Its provocative campaign stars martial arts champion Samuel de Cubber in the nude. According to creative director Tom Ford, the same virtuoso who designed the bottle, “Perfume is worn on the skin, so why hide the body?”

As M7 is quite a complex and daring fragrance to begin with, reviews teeter between the positive and the negative. A number of perfume reviews were pleased with the scent and their words are telling how impressed they have been with this perfume. One review from Basenotes says, “Discretion or delirium resides in one’s own hands and is dependent entirely upon one’s approach to this superb fragrance. It has the power to overwhelm. Used discretely, it is a warm enveloping fragrance of ethereal proportion, but, though dangerously tempting for those smitten by M7’s elegant Oriental charms, over use will cause swooning. M7 is appropriately romantic and sensual. I have to curb my desire to keep re-applying it because it has remarkable longevity; the real issue is a kind of intoxication or addiction. I adore it.” Infatuated, perhaps? Once you find your perfect chemistry, you won’t let go of it. Those who found solace in M7 gush, yield and become faithful to the fragrance.

This scent is certain to announce itself in the crowd. Straightforward and powerful — that what makes it distinct among the plethora of masculine scent in the perfumery. The sillage is superb; it mellows into a lasting yet compelling aroma. The sharp, smoky sweetness bites giving it a more pronounced and edgy appeal. M7 suits the cold months of winter. The woody oriental base blankets you with a comforting warmth akin to a familiar embrace.
M7 is a love hate fragrance. It’s heavy and on certain occasions, overwhelms the sensitive noses. But for those who appreciate its beauty, it’s titillating, hypnotic and endearing. You just can’t get enough of it.

Hanae Mori Magical Moon Perfume...


hana-mori-magical-moon-perfumeLuminous like the moonlit evenings, Hanae Mori’s Magical Moon takes you to a relaxing ambiance filled with romance and warmth. Inspired by the shimmering allure of the night-blossoms, this fragrance radiates a sweet yet playful mystery that features lush fruits and florals; and soothing woods and musk notes. The top notes is a fusion of pink pepper, lychee, guava and pineapple, followed by zesty orange blossoms, rose, osmanthus and hints of ginger. The base notes are composed of sugar cane, vanilla, coconut, sandalwood and patchouli. Magical Moon may come off as an old lady scent at first but quickly transforms into a sweet, balsamic fragrance. A warm and smoky incense-like aroma sits on the background giving it an exquisite floriental flair.

The harmony of notes blend well together. Magical like its name, the scent gradually unfolds into a rich and intense night fragrance. According to one perfume reviewer from Fragrantica, “The flowers charged at me, after which a woody warm sweet note descended on me. What I really liked is that this perfume transformed while I was wearing it. It went from fruity to floral, from floral to woody and from woody to gourmand. Like the moon and its phases. “ Another olfactory connoisseur gushed,” After about 20-30 minutes it began to settle into it’s dreamy cedar/sandalwood base ~ still sweet with crystal sugared fruits lingering. It ends up almost amber-ish on my skin. Perfect for an evening of romantic night sky gazing.”

Japanese haute couture icon, Hanae Mori brings us a distinct collection of fragrances inspired by the East and West. Her perfumes are created by some of the artisans in the perfumery world. Mori’s earlier fragrances boast the signature Butterfly line, where a harmony of subtle scents converge producing a distinct fragrance like no other.

hana-mori-perfumeHanae Mori
Hanae Mori is primarily strawberries and almonds. At first sniff, you would conclude that it’s vanilla-based but the truth is, there is no vanilla accord present in the fragrance. None at all. The rare blend of berries and almonds produced an exquisite sweet smelling scent akin to luscious vanilla. The wood notes and musk lend it a sexy edge and prevent it from becoming too sweet.

Hanae Mori Eau Fraiche
Hanae Mori Eau Fraiche is a spin-off of the original; a limited edition launched in 2008. The notes are almost the same but more fruity and gourmand. The opening greets you with a bunch of mandarin wood and grapefruit followed by berries, currants and a bouquet of florals. The base culminates with a matte finish dominated by almond accords and hints of musky woods.

Hanae Mori Haute Couture
This floral green fragrance is unlike the original Butterly. Hanae Mori Haute Couture is more like an extravagant vintage scent. It’s quite heavy at first whiff and traces of sharp florals linger. The scent of flowers is very strong, perfect as a special occasion fragrance; a few spritz goes a long way.

What To Look For When Finding Your Summer Swim Sui...


sexy bikini

Naturally, everyone wants to look their best and the warmth of summer demands that you wear less but still look good wearing it. For many people the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the summer heat is swim suits. Yeah, you knew that was coming didn’t you? So, do you sit around and worry about how you look? No, you get out there and start searching for the perfect one or two piece swimsuit.

For those of you who have that hourglass shape it can take some extra time trying to find one that fits those curves just right. This can also be considered a full figured body and normally, this type can pretty much wear any suit, including the sexy bikini.

Tankinis are very popular in women’s swimsuits, as they can help minimize certain areas. For females with an apple shaped figure, where the middle is a little larger than the rest, the top of the tankini is like a tank top and it can help to cover the midsection quite well. Tankini swim suits are also good for women who are a little on the modest side and do not wish to expose much skin, which is why the top is so handy for covering up.

At one time for the plus size women, you were limited to one or two styles of swimwear swimsuits and they probably did not fit very well. Now, however, the designers have finally answered the call from plus sized woman and there are many different womens swimsuits that are available for the larger gal. If you are a little insecure about going into a store to try on bathing suits, then you can always purchase swimwear online, which is a very convenient way to shop.

When considering the best suit for your body shape or plus size, it can be easy to just reach out for that slimming black suit and take it. Yes, black is slimming, but the solid color needs to be broken up so choose a pattern or print for your best areas. This helps the black remain to cover problem areas, while patterns or prints should show off your assets. Many times a plus sized woman will opt for a large over-size shirt as a cover up over swim suits, believing that is must look good because it is loose. In reality, this will only makes her look even heavier; look for a cover up that is not skin tight but not too loose either.

Weekend by Burberry...


Weekend by Buerbbery Perfume

Don’t we always look forward to weekends? After an exhausting week at work, the thought of a laid-back country lifestyle is a welcome respite from the chaotic weekdays that passed. Burberry’s Weekend Perfume has captured the much-coveted weekend moments in a floral-themed fragrance. The top notes greet you with sweet and zesty tangerine blossoms blended with aromatic grassy notes. Floral notes dominate the mid notes. It features blue hyacinth, iris, nectarine, peach flower, red cyclamen and wild rose. While the base notes fade into a warm and powdery blend of sandalwood, cedar and musk. Weekend’s fresh-energetic aura is perfect for day and evening wear. It’s bright and cheerful with a certain indescribable uniqueness that conveys sophistication and quality.

One perfume pundit thinks that Weekend is a light fragrance on the overall – it’s lightly sweet, lightly floral. Devoid of uniqueness, the fragrance is more of an extension of the original version. Sweet but not refined, highly attractive with a very comfortable ambiance, “Burberry Weekend is a very good scent that, except for over spraying (it’s not a weak scent), would be impossible to misuse. Charming, discreet, mistake proof if carefully sprayed – not very intriguing but much more than adequate.” However, another critic thought otherwise, “It was classy without being stodgy, almost like it took the traditional “classic” perfume smell and added a new, younger twist. The staying power is extraordinarily long, but not cloying, and it will stay on you softly. If you want to have your perfume last the entire day, this is the one to choose. I feel this could work year-round, as it has enough power to last through a winter day without evaporating completely.”

Weekend Burberry Cologne

The men’s version of Weekend is heavily citrus-based. The composition is similar to the woman’s fragrance but sprinkled with lots of zesty mandarin and juicy pineapples. It’s neither too fruity nor woodsy; rather, it’s just the right mix of notes – light, clean and refreshing. The lightness of the scent, however, doesn’t come off as very masculine. Some say that a woman can carry the men’s fragrance as well. Men who wore this fragrance didn’t like its sillage; longevity is a bit weak. You have to be real close to be able to smell it. In addition, male perfume critics find it the fruity, summery aroma too juvenile. Hence, not appropriate for serious adults who want to project elegance and candor. Weekend for Men is a decent casual scent, good enough to be a light everyday scent.

Boss in Motion...


boss-in-motion-cologneBoss In Motion Cologne by Hugo Boss is an oriental fougere-themed perfume that radiates a zesty citrus scent blended with spicy oils and fresh woody notes. This scent tailors the active lifestyle – it’s soothingly crisp and full of energy. The notes features bergamot oil, basil flower, violet leaves, spicy pink pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, sandalwood and vetiver. The flacon’s shape, in metallic-pewter color, bespeaks class and effortless sophistication that corresponds with the Hugo Boss brand. Designed by perfumer Domitille Michalon in 2002, Boss In Motion brings out a certain aura of plenitude. It calms and embraces with a distinct warmth created by the contrast between citrus and vanilla.

Perfumistas like the initial kick of vanilla and old citrus. The invigorating appeal doesn’t last though; sillage is not that good. At least for some but others find it a tad heady at the opening like one user who reviewed Boss In Motion in Basenotes, “Some days I love this frag’ on me and other days I hate it!My wife likes it all the time thank goodness. Can tend towards fizzy and heady! I would suggest this frag’ is very skin dependent.”

In addition, not all men can pull off this fragrance. It’s a sweet masculine scent to begin with. So if your man is leaning towards the tobacco cum leathery notes fragrance, he may not like Boss In Motion. It’s lightly sweet bordering powdery-lemony. Sweet as it is, it’s not the type of sickly sweetness that turns off. It possesses a certain youthful pizazz that invigorates – active and very modern.

The Hugo Boss fashion house was established in 1923. Initially, the company made worker’s clothes and uniforms during the war. When the war was over, the company explored into designing men’s suits and later, women’s clothing. The fragrances were launched in the 1980s are under the licensing agreements with Procter & Gamble.

Cashmere Mist and Black Cashmere by Donna Karan...


cashmere-mist-perfumeCashmere. The silky feel of soft fabric that makes you want to snuggle up real close. Its warmth hugs your body like a comforting embrace. Inspired by the delicate softness of cashmere comes Cashmere Mist from Donna Karan. Delicate and soft like its namesake, this light fragrance celebrates the essence of femininity. This lovely oriental floral-themed scent is a fusion of lily of the valley, suede notes, bergamot, ylang, Moroccan jasmine, sandalwood, orris, amber, vanilla, cedar wood, patchouli and musk. The creamy accords sprinkled with nuances of spice radiates a sensual innocence that perfectly complements a young woman.

One perfume fan chimed in and agreed with Cashmere Mist’s delightful aroma. She said, “Cashmere Mist is the olfactory apotheosis of a pure femininity. Its rich creamy, soapy smell makes me almost want to wear it, but this is definitely not a unisex fragrance. I have identified it on others, it stands out so gorgeously. Lofty and luscious, this is a ravishingly innocent scent.” Another interesting Cashmere Mist experience was how the soft florals, amber and woods resemble a buttery suede.

Cashmere Mist has airy qualities – ethereal to some extent – then fades into a gentle, slightly dark sandalwoods notes. It permeates a certain mystery – beautiful yet elusive.

And for those winter days, a more intense, darker cashmere-inspired fragrance that blankets you all over with a sensual warmth that soothes. An offshoot of the Cashmere collection, Black Cashmere boasts a melange of spices blended with woodsy notes of patchouli and assorted African trees. The rich accords of exotic spices interplays with the smokiness of woods and glazed sugar crystals giving out a richer aroma that is certain to set you ablaze during the colder season.

Black Cashmere is an austere fragrance. It permeates a slight melancholic mood, typical of winter. It is suggestive of a more relaxed feeling of laid-back, affluent lifestyle.

Donna Karan never fails to recreate a classic fragrance that entices the senses. The Cashmere perfume line captures that sense of timeless beauty and marries it with the intricate luxury of cashmere – its sheer elegance that never goes out of style.
