Bill Blass Nude ~ Perfume Review

Posted by  Angela For a perfume lover, discovering a terrific scent that has flown under many people's radar is exciting. The thrill amplifies when the perfume only costs about $10 a bottle. Now that my backup bottle is safely on its way, I'm ready to share my latest discovery: Bill Blass Nude. I first heard of Nude years ago when I read Laren Stover's The Bombshell Manual of Style's chapter on Bombshell perfumes. Most of the fragrances she lists are grand old perfumes, including the numbered Chanels, Guerlain Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue, Rochas Femme, and Lanvin My Sin. Among these heavyweights is Nude, which the manual describes as "a striking floral composition" and creating "a mental state of near undress". Still, Bill Blass? Wrack my brain as I might, all I could call forth were images of conservatively dressed women of a certain age with small, groomed dogs. Not really the feel I'm going for. Then, foraging in a thrift sho...

Can Intense Cedrat Boise De-Throne Its Older Brother?

Designer fragrances are designed to be appealing to the masses and, while all of them are unique and good in their own right, they can be affordable to buy (depending on where you look) and mostly easy to like. This is not the case with niche fragrances. The pure definition of niche is “denoting products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population.”. They are fragrances that are crafted by companies who are primarily creating only fragrances as opposed to designer houses who create fragrances as just another facet of their brand. So, what happens when you get further into your designer collection and you’re wondering if there’s something more out there.

7 Ways to Check If Your Perfume is Authentic!

In these millennial times, the beauty industry has now been known as a billion-dollar empire. Numerous brands of make-up, soaps, and even perfumes have been birthed worldwide and have emerged with each enticing claim.

Aside from knowing your go-to brand by name and specific scent, here are five ways to determine if your purchasing perfume is authentic. 1. C...
