I’m a Bath & Bodyworks home fragrance hoarding whore.  (Try saying that 20 times in a row!).  This is the time of year when I take advantage of BBW’s holiday sales and scents.  My husband always shakes his head every time I walk in there because I go off my rocker. I’m talking “mental, mental, chicken oriental”…100% cuckoo!

Last week, I was browsing the Tokyo Milk website and stumbled upon Margot Elena’s new collection, Fate and Fortune.  (You already know how I feel about Margot Elena’s packaging.)  When I saw her rollerball parfum de cigarro, my trigger finger was hovered over the enter button in 0.5 nano seconds. I was sweating bullets and squirming in my seat resisting the urge to “Add to Bag” while this evil vial of perfume taunted me chanting, “Buy me, buy me, buy me.”  Continue reading →

Scented lotions and body creams are a wonderful alternative to perfume.  They add another dimension to traditional perfume, the sense of touch.  I love the feeling of a scented body cream once I slather it on after a refreshing shower.  My skin feels silky soft and caressed by a delicate veil of scent.  I start my day feeling pampered like a queen and ready to seize the day!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Blunt, 110% honest reviews from a non-discriminating, open-minded fragrance enthusiast. I smell everything and anything from perfumes to soap to lotion to candles to laundry detergent. If it has a scent I smell it!

I don't consider myself an authority on fragrance. I use this blog to catalog my likes and dislikes and as a tool to gain wisdom and share my new found discovery with others making it accessible and easy to understand.

This blog is for the perfume layman such as myself. You won't find stuffy pretention here.I believe fragrance should be educational as well as entertaining and fun! So welcome, make yourself comfortable, chillax, and enjoy!

I also love to commiserate with other fume lovers. Let's chat! You can contact me @ olfactoryobsessed at gmail dot com.

One last thing! I do not accept monetary compensation for reviews nor am I affiliated with any companies. You may not use or replicate any part of my blog without express permission.
