Hi, all - For various reasons (work, two young children, other hobbies) I have been merely enjoying my healthy fragrance collection for a few years now instead of obsessing over buying more and sampling like I used to. Well, I am down for the count right now from a recent surgery and after...

Yes, I know that etiquette dictates that one should NEVER WEAR COLOGNE AT A JOB INTERVIEW, but I am going to ask anyway. I have an interview coming up later this week for a job that I don't really care if I get or not. I am happily employed and have nothing to lose if I don't get this job. I...

Hey Guys! I am thinking about writing a blog post about Homemade cologne and aftershave, but I have very limited experience in the field. Do you guys have any good recipes or perhaps want to do a guest post for my blog? The recipe I had in mind was for a summer fragrance using essential oils...

Hi all, I'd like to get my boyfriend a fragrance for his birthday but he currently only wears Givenchy Play which is fairly inoffensive. He's keen to explore new fragrances and I'd like to get him something that's similar-ish but a bit more adventurous/interesting. He doesn't really know what he...
