Fresh Orange Blossom Natural Body Bar Review
Fresh Orange Blossom Natural Body Bar by Ancient Cosmetics is an all-natural, moisturizing body bar that is formulated with shea butter and coconut oil yet still provides a good lather. The fresh orange scent is very light, but I can attest that it is still clear and vibrant. This may be good for sensitive skin if your only issue involves being sensitive or allergic to perfumes, dyes and stronger scents but careful of the coconut oil and shea butter in it. I love this bar because it is all natural and leaves my skin feeling very clean but soft. If you’re used to using shower gels and body washes this…

Shay’s Guide to Fragrance Buying for Women
Fragrance buying for women is a bit less complex for women than it is for men and that is because the preferred scent of most women is floral, sweet, fresh or oriental. Woody scents are typically reserved for men. But in each fragrance family does exist hybrids that may seem a bit harder to pinpoint but learning the base, middle and top notes will help you pinpoint the fragrance family. Fresh For women this scent category can be either blue (aquatic or clean), yellow (citrusy) or green (grass, cucumber or herbs like mint). These scent choices are often worn in the summer to cut through heat and humidity. Floral Floral…

Fougere Fragrances for Men
Fougere Fragrances for Men are all about the masculine side of nature and bringing it into your olfactory senses. This is a classic scent family that is typically herbal with woody notes and that are enhanced with lavender, oakmoss and coumarin and bring to mind being deep within a forest but feeling safe and very natural in it (if this was a romance novel of course). Fougere are clean, woody and fresh, but sometimes smoldering. Teakwood which is now called Mahogany Teakwood is one of the Fougere scents that I offer with notes of mahogany, black teakwood and lavender. They describe it as “borrowing their flannel for a hike in…

Whipped Coconut Milkshake
If you love gourmand body care and creamy, delicious ice-cream deserts then Whipped Coconut Milkshake may be a scent of your dreams! It’s very soft with the top note being vanilla ice cream so that’s the creamy and delicious scent that you get first. It doesn’t fail because when I smell it, I immediately want a cone of toasted coconut ice cream for myself. Toasted coconut is the middle note, so it definitely doesn’t miss, and it hits home. Sugared amber is the bottom note leaving you with a creamy, sweet mixture of whipped coconut delight that is pleasant and inviting. My Opinion of Whipped Coconut Milkshake In my opinion,…

Masculine Mondays
Men's fragrances are not marketed as much as women's fragrances, and this is typically because men wear fragrances less often than women do. Men on average care much less about outer appearance and aesthetics than women but that’s all changing and because of that men have more options when choosing grooming and body care fragrances
