Note on oud wood: oud is a resin produced by the Indonesian Agarwood tree when it is infected by fungus. The resin is an immune response that permeates the wood and creates a complex leathery/sour/woody/salty/ambery-smelling substance used in traditional Arab perfumes and eastern incenses. Increasingly, oud is popping up in western-style fragrances.

@pinelopi1979 you …
@pinelopi1979 you can try Acqua by Emilio Pucci, this is kind of expensive but it really does remind me of being at the beach and smelling the ocean. Also Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, I have used 2 bottles of those and it really is a water-ish scent.
@KatiePuckrikSmells …
@KatiePuckrikSmells They sound divine, I’ll definitely try to hunt them down, thank you for the advice!

@fluffypenguin11 I can feel your smile from here!

Everytime i see your videos,
I cant help but to smile.
Your such a happy personn(:
@pinelopi1979 A …
@pinelopi1979 A mainstream oceany one I like is Kenzo pour Homme. But you should hunt down these 2 sublime niche perfumes:
The Different Company Sel de Vetiver
L’Artisan Parfumeur Cote d’Amour
Both were created by the same parfumer, Celine Ellena, and both are beautiful and unusual takes on salty ocean air with dry florals.
@flexwheelR While …
@flexwheelR While both feature tobacco, B2B is much more confectionary-sweet than Chergui, which is more spicy and vegetal. Chergui has a pipe-tobacco kind of sweetness to it.
Go to my blog, KatiePuckrikSmells dot c o m, for an in-depth dance-off between the 2 on one of my “Perfume Pen Pals” entry.
Could I ask for …
Could I ask for some suggestions, if possible? I love oceanic scents,I know, I know, they don’t have much depth, they are a bit one-note, and sharp and chemical, but they work for me. I used to wear men’s perfumes more, as they had the ‘cleanest’ feel to them, but they got too sharp even for me, I felt I was dousing myself with aftershave at times. Any suggestions for good oceanic scents for women?
how does chergui …
how does chergui compare to back to black?
Weekend by Burberry …
Weekend by Burberry has become a favorite of mine within the last couple of years. It’s not overpowering and seems to stay with me for at least half of the day before having to reapply. I absolutely love it. Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior is another favorite. Great for evening wear. My last choice would be Coco Chanel. I have my mother to thank for that one!

@coolblueswim “and I ran-n-n, I ran so far away-ay-ay..”
I actually ordered some Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo a few years ago to relive th magic (it came from the Philippines, the only place it’s still made), and made the mistake of washing my hair in it. Whoops – instant thatched roof instead of hair!
@KatiePuckrikSmells …
@KatiePuckrikSmells Comfort Scents – for starters…
.Original Chaos (not the relaunch)
.Black Cashmere
.Raintree lotion original fragrance
.Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo, the emerald original
.Chanel 5
.Grey Flannel Geoffrey Beene, found it in a Belgium PX and as it was not marketed as a men’s fragrance, how was I to know? I wore it and still like it a lot… takes me back to A Flock of Seagulls time dimension.
@KatiePuckrikSmells …
@KatiePuckrikSmells Costa Chic being pretty darn close to the C&T. I also agree that the Mac Full Stop Red looks similar to the C&T which is a creamy peachy pink coral, but the name is a misnomer… red?
@KatiePuckrikSmells …
@KatiePuckrikSmells Well, from the swatch I came across the BB gloss in Petal looks to be a good dupe for the Chris and Tell, so you are right on trend aren’t you? I had to buy my two tubes of the Lancome C&T off of eBay (ouch) as it sold out faster than ice water in that brimstone place. Mac Pink Lemonade gloss is said to be a good dupe as is Mac Costa Chic (applied lightly).
@coolblueswim I …
@coolblueswim I keep my Baume de Rose right here next to my computer. I just keep slathering it on all day long. Love the smell and the feel.
I’m actually …
I’m actually wearing a lipgloss in this vid: Bobbi Brown Petal. The colors in the vid are not accurate to life, because they kind of morph depending on people’s individual computers. I looked up Chris and Tell, and like you say, it’s hot all right! So hot that it seems to be sold out. I read that MAC Full Stop Red is similar.
But I’m a huge fan of coral hued lip colors. Just got one I love called Satin, by Chanel Coco Rouge. Chanel Rouge Allure Remarkable is great, too.
Off topic… but …
Off topic… but what is the lip color you are wearing? Is it this season’s hot cult lipstick called Chris and Tell by Lancome? Also, the Terry Balm de Rose you mentioned in another video is a nice product, how are you liking it? I use mine at bed time and it keeps the lips hydrated.
My comfort scent is …
My comfort scent is Burts Bees Peppermint & Rosemary Body Bar. It’s so invigorating!
Thank You!

I’m am going to search for that perfume
Thank You!
