tahowow!

In the world of perfumes and fragrances, the art of finding the perfect scent is often seen as a delicate dance between personal preference and olfactory chemistry. However, there's another factor that plays a crucial role in this aromatic symphony (charr but true..)  and it is the intricate balance of body chemistry. I was once very acidic and some perfumes or fragrance mists doesn't really last on my skin, and some fragrances that I tried before tend to smell revolting to the point that I almost threw up! So understanding how being acidic and our body's natural pH levels can interact with fragrances is key to achieving a harmonious and long-lasting olfactory experience. Here's a breakdown of the topics we are going to venture together (yes, we're all in this together..). The Chemistry Behind the Fragrance Before we delve into the impact of body chemistry, it's essential to grasp the basics of fragrance composition. Perfumes consist of a complex blend of aromat...

  SOL DE JANEIRO FRAGRANCE MISTS REVIEW I have these scents for almost two years now and they are still full! Your guy just doesn't want to use them because it's for display purposes only!! (for now..) I discovered Sol De Janeiro when I started collecting fragrances that smell like "bakery goodness, you want to eat yourself". That was in the middle of the year 2020 when I was watching reviews on YouTube and Sol De Janeiro was in the recommendations, and immediately, this brand came for my wallet! So enough said, here's my review of the gourmand fragrance I own from Sol De Janeiro. Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Top Notes: Pistachio, Almond Middle Notes: Heliotrope, Jasmine Petals Dry Down: Vanilla, Salted Caramel, Sandalwood Cheirosa 62 is very reminiscent of Dahlia by Bath & Body Works, the only difference is, this scent has more nutty pistachio smell that blends well with the Salted Caramel note. When I first sprayed it, I got a mixture of Heliotrope, Jasmine P...

  First of all, WOW! This is one of the ultimate gourmand coconut fragrance that I was looking for beside Coconut Cream Pie by Bath & Body Works, I’m so glad I was able to snag it up before anyone else could! LOL And in case you are wondering, Coconut Passion Noir by Victoria’s Secret was launched in 2019 along with other Noir flankers (Amber Romance, Bare Vanilla, Love Spell, Pure Seduction, and Velvet Petals).  For scent notes, what’s written at the back of the bottle is Caramel Coconut, Night Orchid, Coconut Passion gets decadent. So it's basically Caramel, Coconut, and Orchid along with the notes of the original Coconut Passion - Island Coconut and Warm Sands, and that’s double coconut dosage for me!!  I also want to acknowledge the packaging. I love the color, it has a gold label with a warm  orange undertone that looks like a caramel color. The palm leaves are embossed so if anyone tries to fake this one, you can immediately tell, as the fake ones don’t hav...

Holidays are just around the corner and it is that time of the year to show our loved ones how special and appreciated they are! Spending quality time with family and friends is a given way to nurture meaningful relationships and create cherished memories, also giving gifts is one of the things I genuinely enjoy, as it allows me to express my appreciation and thoughtfulness toward the people I love! As much as we want to buy the perfect gift, we are often faced with the challenge of finding something that truly reflects the recipient's tastes and preferences. I went to my local Watsons located at SM City Roxas to see some of the new products they put out. They also release gift sets for the Holidays as it is a very popular thing they do. I only really purchased one item during my visit but I did sniff out some of the fragrances they have including the new release and few limited editions. Fresh Philippines has some new Limited Edition Fragrance available, there are only three scent...

  I’ve been gatekeeping this scent for a year now, but in this review I am putting an end to my “Gatekeep Era” as I personally celebrate this scent’s 1 year anniversary! Bath & Body Works Iced Sugar Plum is part of the new Holiday Traditions scent that came out in 2022 along with 5 of the OG scents and consists of only Fine Fragrance Mist, Body Lotion, Body Cream, and Shower Gel. It is the only new fragrance from the Holiday Traditions collection which also is a Limited Edition fragrance. Iced Sugar Plum is described as being a fruity, creamy christmas candies with notes of Sparkling Sugar Plum , Snowdrop Petals , and Whipped Marshmallow .  And ghorl, as soon as I saw Whipped Marshmallow in the fragrance notes, I did not hesitate to stock up. And I am proud to say that I own 5 mists, 6 lotions, and only a couple of shower gels.. Womp womp!! This scent is super underrated, and deserves a lot more attention! But do not overhype this scent if you don’t want it to be overpri...

  Y’all, I got the honor to test out some of the “So French Perfumes” body sprays, shout out to fashioninztashop for sending me samples during my purchase from your seller account, thank you so much! That was very generous, and I appreciate you! Quick Disclaimer: Some scents I tested out from this brand do not have any scent notes listed even on their website, so I’ll do my best to describe each scent for you guys! And, this review is personally based on what I smell from each fragrances, every scent reacts differently to our body chemistry so if some of these smells good to me, it doesn’t mean that it will smell good for anyone. Cherry On Top - The initial spray is kind of heavy on the cherry, almost like an artificially done cough syrup but it disappears quickly so no need to worry, and then seconds later, the smell transitions into a true cherry smell, there’s hints of almonds which gives it a subtle nutty scent, and a little amount of vanilla cream. Overall, it has a very po...
