A Lovely Valentines Day

Love is…having a husband who understands you completely; including your obsession with scents.  And beyond understanding, one who delights in my excitement when I receive a new bottle of wanted cologne or perfume.  I am a very lucky guy!  Thanks to my special Valentine and my new Absolue Pour le Soir, I went to work feeling very sexy in an earthy, musky and feral kind of way!  You can check out my recent review here.

Absolue Pour le Soir by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Warm, smoky, sexy, sensual…oh my!  I just fell in love with a new parfum.  Absolue Pour le Soir is a an exciting journey of a fragrance.  It’s dark and mysterious and warm and it last for hours.  It’s the perfect scent for a cool winter’s night on the town.  This is probably more suited for the evening.  But I believe if you love a scent, you can wear it wherever and whenever your want.  Why not be the most exotic at the grocery store??!   You would be wearing this this, because even if you are in jeans and a t-shirt, the parfum will make you feel incredibly sexy.  Trust me, this is one of my new favorites.
