MJ Speaks

A chance encounter with a great smelling guy has me totally loving this scent from Versace.  It claims to be a fresh interpretation of the original Versace Man fragrance.

The overall scent is smooth fruits spiced with green leaves and warm notes of musk, amber, and sycamore wood.  That makes it sound a lot more deep and woodsy than it actually is, though. 

The additional notes of white lemon, rosewood, carambola, tarragon, cedar leaves, and clary sage mellow its earthiness, making it a fresh and clean scent.  Yet very sexy!

Buy a bottle for a special guy.  Available where fine fragrances are found, and online at Sephora.  A 1 ounce Eau de Toilette spray is $36.

There are some stores that no matter how often I stop into, there is always something new that I have to buy.  Or, an old favorite that I simply must stock up on.

Lush is one of those stores.

I first discovered Lush on a layover and, at the time, there was only one store that was convenient for me to go to.  I’d pick up a layover just to stock up on product, buy gifts, and feed my fix for a few months until I could get back again.

I love the displays of their delicious smelling hand-made bath products.  Besides being al natural, with no animal testing, they all smell pretty damn fantastic!

Lush now has stores in more places than you can shake a stick at (check the website for countries and location), and many products can be purchased online.  Perishable products usually cannot be shipped, however.

While they offer a variety of products (skin care, hair products, deodorants, etc.), the bath products are still my favorites.  And I love the soap that is just cut for you right off the block.

My personal recommendations:  Karma bath bombs (orange and spices), creamy candy bubble bar (vanilla and lots of sugar), rock star soap (smells a little bit like bubble gum), and almond butter buttercream (almond and citrus).

Lush makes life a little easier most days.
