Mugler's Angel Muse Eau de Toilette: Dewberry Fun Times Spinned Anew!
It is rare when a perfume description of a designer fragrance meets the olfactory effect offered, but Angel Muse Eau de Toilette by Thierry Mugler succeeds where others miserably fail. The press memo promised futuristic Fruity-Woody-Gourmand, and that is precisely what they delivered. Wow, and boy, was I late to the party. In 2016, the house of Thierry Mugler opened a new chapter in the story of the famous gourmand galaxy of Angel fragrances - the "futuristic-gourmand" Angel Muse.
Weekend Perfume Movies: OLD SPICE
Enjoy some Old Spice commercials this weekend! We're not saying this body wash will make your man smell like a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but we are insinuating it: Old Spice Meeting: Different Scents for Different Gents: Old Spice "Jungle Wilderness": Don't smell like sunsets and baby powder. Smell like jet fighters and punching: Smell like a man with a six-pack. And biceps. In his armpits. Smell like a man who walks out of an explosion, smelling like he just took a shower.
Highgrove Bouquet: A Most English Garden & A Return to The Roots ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
Well, I can honestly say that Penhaligon's has been well and truly rehabilitated in my private view of the world. That's a real treat! With Constantinople, Petra, Sports Car Club, and now Highgrove Bouquet, we could already be seeing a trend.

Whind: From Morocco Inspired Skin Care to Fragrance
Whind is a skincare company founded in 2021 by Moroccan entrepreneur Hind Sebti and rooted in rich Arab heritage. Unmoved by the high-tech, clinical approach of modern beauty products, Hind created Whind with the intention of elevating skincare to a joyful, sensual ritual.

Dunhill Desire for... Some Fruity Pebbles? ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
By the time Dunhill Desire came within my sphere of attention, it was already in TK Maxx, and it was already very cheap. It was also one of the few things I've ever seen in there with a tester, which I tried to buy along with the perfume because I liked it so much, but, as usual with shop testers, access denied. Safe enough to spray in-store but amazingly dangerous if you want to take them home?? I picked it up initially because of the flip-top lid.
