Patty White launched Perfume Posse in 2005, and we've been yapping on and on about perfume endlessly since.
Today’s review is of the iconic Mugler Angel created in 1992 featuring notes of honey, vanilla, chocolate, caramel and patchouli (and some fruits/berries, depending on where you look up the notes.) Whether you love it or hate it, it was (and remains) an undeniable, unmistakeable, ground-breaking fragrance. We also review The rest, please…
Yeah, that’s right, we have been brainstorming, and there’s a cloud of smoke and fumes coming off of our collective brains that is just fierce. It is time for some Perfume Posse gear and just good perfume slogan gear, so we have a double contest to get us there. First The rest, please…
Our spam filter caught 1068 spams in a 20-day period recently, mostly pornographic, including the one that inspired the title of today´s post (I guess that´s in contrast to your prosaic, workaday shemale). Anyway, for those of you (pitbullfriend, etc.) who´ve been mistakenly caught by the filter – if it The rest, please…
Sniffapalooza has a new magazine! You must go visit it, their first issue is up and is chock full of interviews and reviews and links. Raphaella Brescia, and I’m really looking forward to what she’s going to be doing with this — it’s off to a great start!
Brit’s shaved head…. WTF? Brit, babe, rehab, stay more than a day, chain yourself to the toilet if you have to this time. It won’t be fun at first, but surely… surely it will be worth not losing custody of your boys. I’ve gone through a divorce, and I know The rest, please…
Because I’m still waiting on my Chanels (damn you transatlantic mail!) and because I want to write something on Hermà¨s but am running low on energy juice, I’m going to save both of those things for a later date. I’m afraid we’re (almost) skipping scent today. Sorry, addicts. Instead, I’ve The rest, please…
I was a complete witch to The Big Cheese. We were driving to another city, and we were already behind schedule, which wasn´t his fault. But I was annoyed and wanted to get going already. Then he wanted to stop for coffee on the way out of town to perk The rest, please…
First – Winner of the Chanel Les Exclusifs samples from the drawing about ten days ago is…. Amarie. Just hit the Contact Us button over there on the left, let me know your mailing address, and I’ll get these sent off to you. Are you sick of Chanel yet? Some The rest, please…
I had a different post prepared for today, because I was going to buck the trend, show some restraint, savor my samples of Les Exclusifs that arrived on Saturday, and write something thoughtful and measured about them in a few weeks. To hell with that. If no less a personage The rest, please…
As I mentioned yesterday, I find it very comforting that people are picking wildly different favorites from the Chanel Les Exclusifs, which is a great when there are a number of scents released at once — that means it has broad appeal and has the ability to hook into our The rest, please…
I want my daughters to have a sense of history, so I took them to see Marie Antoinette, because what could be more historic than watching Kirsten Dunst and her posse of giddy courtesans try on satin mules while Bow Wow Wow sings “I Want Candy” in the background? Add The rest, please…
Chanels on truck for delivery today, woot, i’m giddy!

Is this post about perfume? Not so much. I’m just killing time while waiting for the Chanels to get in so I can put up a post later today once I get a chance to sniff them. SQUEEE! Sorry, isn’t everyone just waiting to hear? So look for that hopefully The rest, please…
You could argue that I´m too much of a prissy, naive American to appreciate the truly liberated sophistication of the Etat Libre d’Orange fragrances. Another potential viewpoint might be that browsing their line is like watching my four-year-old son run around naked, waving his tiny pecker at me. It´s endearing The rest, please…

You don´t know what you´re missing until it´s gone. As recently as two months ago, I visited the Chanel counter in Macy´s and smelled No. 22, giving it a chance to dry down to its lovely incense base, which I´d never noticed before. I stopped by last week and No. The rest, please…
One of my very true best friends lives a long way away from me: she’s a hop, skip and a jump from Stanford University, whereas I’m in the rural heart of Suffolk, England (unfortunately now more known for its serial killer and bird flu than anything else). I see her The rest, please…
Hey, look what the fairies did overnight. Bitch-slapped the blog around. Which makes this the perfect post for today. A couple of years ago, when I really started down the niche path hard core, one of the first samples I got from Aedes was Serge’s Daim Blond. When I dabbed it The rest, please…
We need to de-skank the blog after Friday´s … emissions. So today´s post functions like those good old smudge sticks in Santa Fe, clearing the air with its sweet breath of sage (insert your favorite New Age incantation here). Let´s play a game, based loosely on something that happened to The rest, please…

This is smut. No, you pervs, not that kind. It’s the smut spores that form on an ear of corn as it develops when it is infected. Here, from the Ag Department, “When leaves are infected, small pustules develop, usually on the midrib, causing some leaf distortion. After the spores The rest, please…
A couple of weeks ago, we had the chance to review the perfumes from MDCI, owned by Claude Marchal. They are fabulous perfumes, and you all should take the chance to try them. As a result of those reviews, I had the opportunity to get to know Mr. Marchal better. The rest, please…
