Title: Bath and Body Works

Bath & Body Works has really upped their game and I’m falling in love with them and their products all over again. Their wallflowers fragrance refill bulb in the scent Midnight Cocktails smells like a sweeter and less cologne-y version of one of the brand’s signature scents, Black Tie. It’s also in the same scent family of Davines main and unisex spicy, cardamom scent, Davines OI https://thatbrunettebeautygirl.blogspot.com/best-summer-body-washes. Because my fiancé loves Midnight Cocktails so much, I stocked up on two more during one of Bath & Body Works’ sales. Here is the purchasing information for it: Bath & Body Works’ Midnight Cocktails Wallflowers Fragrance Refill Bulb, $7.99 on ebay. (aka evilbay).

One of my cats, Slam, who is a total foodie, loves Ghoul Friend. He’s always hanging around this Halloween-inspired scent in the hallway and sniffing it. After he does so, he licks his chops. This is very similar to two of the brand’s other syrupy sweet scents, A Thousand Wishes and Be Joyful, except that it’s less florally and smells more like fruity hard candy. You can buy it here: Bath & Body Works’ Ghoul Friend Wallflowers Fragrance Refill Bulb, $13 on ebay (aka evilbay).

My fiancé says that Prickly Pear Sangria smells like rotten pears and complains that Bath & Body Works doesn’t know how to capture the crisp and citrus nature of the fruit. We removed the wallflower from our bedroom and put it in our daughter’s room and she really likes it. Yes, it smells exactly like the boozy and fruity drink, sangria. When I first smelled it, I actually felt like I was going back in time to the year 1999. I was at a really awesome college party where they were serving sangria. Whoever made it did a fantastic job and it was very addictive. I kept going back for more. I can still hear The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ “Someday I Suppose” playing in the background…Here is the purchasing information for it: Bath & Body Works’ Prickly Pear Sangria Wallflower Home Fragrance Refill, 0.8 oz, $8.60 on ebay (aka evilbay).

Pinrose’s Pillowtalk Poet—a Dead Ringer for Dedcool’s Milk

Attribution link: https://www.pexels.com/photo/lighted-candles-in-the-bedroom-4099356 / It was a cold, rainy, and windy evening in February and I really didn’t want to be at my RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) class. ‘Why didn’t my parents just baptize me instead of letting me choose my religion?’ I silently wondered to myself. If they had done so, I wouldn’t be sitting here every Monday night since October of 2023. Then a total sense of calm washed over me and I allowed my mind to wander. I was at home, next to my fiancé, with my feet propped up in some fuzzy socks as we quietly and intently watched the British TV series, Endeavour . We were both fresh from our respective showers and smelling really good. Him, with his Old Spice Swagger deodorant and me, with my Nivea Q10 Gel-Cream with lotus flower extract. There was nowhere else I’d rather be…That’s precisely what Dedcool’s Milk smells like. Milk i...

I’ve always had a soft spot for this magical time of the year when the days are longer and the sun is out more often than not. When I was a kid and school was out, I’d ride my bike past the trees and lawns all covered in green. Like brushstrokes of paint, flowers in yellow, purple, red, and fuchsia would be peppered in between the lush greenery. Here are the body washes that evoke the nostalgia of such a time, wash away the stickiness of a day of playing hard outside, and leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed and ready for a good night’s sleep. Mario Badescu Citrus Body Cleanser , 8 ounces, $14.95 at Mario Badescu One whiff of this citrusy sweet scent, and I was transported to my mom’s birthplace, Brazil. The year was 1982 and I was four years old. I could see my feet through the clear and bri...

My Top 3 Miller Harris Perfumes

Attribution link: https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-woman-spraying-perfumes-onto-her-face-10544091/ If you’re a fan of Parfums de Marly’s scent, Delina, then you’ll love Miller Harris’ Scherzo. Like Delina, the rose in this is very heavy (You may want to avoid this scent if you’re under the weather. It’s very present.) and smells very sophisticated. There’s a tobacco-like note in it that rounds it out. It’s probably the oud. If I’m correct, and it is in fact the oud, then kudos to Miller Harris. They finally got the scent right. Bath & Body Works and Henri Bendel always got it wrong. Being that I’m a writer, I have a soft spot for the story behind the scent. Scherzo is inspired by an excerpt in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, Tender is the Night . Here is the purchasing information for the sample: Miller Harris Scherzo Eau de Parfum Sample , 2 ml, $5 at Miller Harris. Miller Harris Scherzo 2-ml sample a...
