Fragrances -Bond No.9 - West Side
MrLovejoy 2/6/2007 12:09:00 AM
I LOVE WEST SIDE. ITS SUCH A BOOZY, WARM, SWEET DOSE OF ROSE, VANILLA, HONEY AND AMBER.... A SOFT-SPOKEN SANDALWOOD COMPLIMENTS THE OTHER NOTES QUITE NICELY. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE SO INTO A ROSE FRAGRANCE AS A MAN, BUT I LOVE IT. I ALSO LOVE TO SPRAY SOME SPICY OVER IT... TO GIVE IT A LITTLE KICK. ITS A VERY COMFORTING FRAGRANCE, IN A JAZZY BOTTLE, AND ITS GREAT.

Fragrances -Bond No.9 - BRYANT PARK
MrLovejoy 2/5/2007 11:56:00 PM
BRYANT PARK. TOP NOTES ARE LILY, PINK PEPPER, RHUBARB. MIDDLE NOTES ARE ROSE AND PATCHOULI, AND THE BASE IS AMBER AND RASPBERRY. BONDS ARE STARTING TO GET REALLY INTERESTING. EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS ROSE AND AMBER, ITS NOTHING LIKE WEST SIDE. THE ROSE IS ZINGED UP BY THE RHUBARB AND PINK PEPPER... THE PATCHOULI IS MAINLY THERE TO BALANCE AND STABILIZE, AND ISN'T OVERWHELMING AT ALL. THE FRAGRANCE WILL BE GREAT FOR SPRING. IT IS BOLD, BUT LIGHT AND REFRESHING. THE RHUBARB AND PINK PEPPER ARE THE STARS OF THIS ONE, DRESSING UP ROSE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THE BOTTLE IS WILD... ALL PUCCI'D OUT. I THINK ALOT OF GIRLS ARE GONNA LOVE THIS ALL SPRING AND SUMMER LONG.

Fragrances -Jo Malone - Blue Agava and Cacao
MrLovejoy 8/18/2006 10:48:00 PM
I just sniffed this baby for the first time! it comes out in September, so look for it in stores! This fragrance is exactly what jo malone needed. There are already too many flowers and fruits in the line... this is a delightfully unexpected twist! it is a dry, arid, clean, warm desert gourmande. There are notes of Sea Salt, a clean cactus fruit accord, and a dry but warm powdery cocoa base. like a lighter, fresher rochas man. a great unisex fragrance, it wears well on the skin. unusual and sophisticated, not cheap smelling...softens and warms up nicely, and isn't overpowering. keep it up, Jo!

Fragrances -La Prairie - midnight rain
MrLovejoy 8/4/2006 12:32:00 AM
this fragrance is in the best twist-of-a-bottle desgin i've seen. it's the silver rain bottle, in black, covered with a micro-holographic glitter. ---right up my alley--- it's a sweet floral oriental with the: top notes :: cartier delices middle notes :: armani code base notes :: prada it's a bit pricey, but WEARS... the bottle is gorgeous... and it says pretty woman all over it. look for it in september! ;)

Blush -NARS - Blush in Oasis
MrLovejoy 7/4/2006 1:05:00 PM
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just like Amour... but a little on the pinker side instead of all those peachy blushes... and with the same style of sparkle as angelika, but gold... not silver. it is pretty close to PERFECT! way to go francois

Blush -Chanel - turbulent
MrLovejoy 7/4/2006 1:02:00 PM
okay everyone... this is what the hype is all about. chanel's new 'hot pink' blush for fall. it looks almost exactly like putting NARS copacabana on and then putting NARS desire blush right over it and buffing it down. its a cool bright pink with a high silver satiny sheen to it. i am waiting to see how all of chanel's older customers who are not as into shining up a storm will take this one. it's pretty... but i hate chanel. let's pay way too much money for a mediocre blush that smells - well - funky. cha ching. but - its pretty.

Masks -NARS - Mud Mask
MrLovejoy 6/28/2006 1:13:00 AM
this mud from the dead sea is one of the best i've tried. it does not dry and flake off... or dry your face out. it deep cleanses with the utmost respect for your skin. i love it. a bit pricy compared to most muds, but light years better.

Fragrances -Bond No.9 - Fire Island
MrLovejoy 6/20/2006 10:35:00 AM
okay guys, i just sniffed the sample at saks, and put a bit on the wrist... and here's how it all wound up. if you have always been dreaming of a slightly more floral version of bobbi brown beach that lasts longer and comes in an amazing bottle, than maybe you wouldn't mind shelling out the extra dough. it's nice, but all it is is beach, with a couple more flowers throw in.

Fragrance -Rochas - Rochas for Men
MrLovejoy 6/20/2006 10:30:00 AM
this fragrance was just sitting there in sephora... and don't ask me why i picked it up, but when i did, there was trouble. i usually don't like very many chocolate and vanilla gourmands, but THIS is much different. there's a bit of a woodsy mystique underneath everything... a nice layer of oakmoss. it's like a great gourmand fragrance that someone brewed up in a thatched roof house in the middle of the forest. it lasts really well... and the bottle is kind of nutty, but nice. can't wait for the fall to come!!!!!!!!!!

Candles -NARS - Acapulco
MrLovejoy 6/20/2006 10:23:00 AM
this candle is so dreamy!!!! definitely worth the purchase... its a thick, dark, black mignight snack of espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla beans, and fresh whipped cream that somehow just comes off as smelling really exotic. it's a little odd, but alot amazing.

MrLovejoy 6/19/2006 11:08:00 PM
this is the kind of fragrance that i imagine olivia newton john to have worn in the movie Xanadu.... or maybe liv tyler in lord of the rings. something so soft and pretty with this supernatural spice, and the mysteries of the woods. a pretty fragrance for a pretty woman. in a pretty bottle.

Fragrances -Comme des Garcons - Odeur 53
MrLovejoy 6/19/2006 10:48:00 PM
what a Wild Ride through officemax ! -> copy toner, that smell of the frosted scotch tape, inkpens, and buzzing electornics. it is blended amazingly.... but it is not a human smell. which is the amazing part. a human to smell like a not human. it could potentially save your life if you were being hunted by something that couldn't smell robots.
