This is quite the experience! And one that I welcome everyone to have. I have a fascination for…read moreperfumes... In fact.. I asked chatgpt last night to analyze my current perfumes that I own and tell me what are the common ingredients between them and basically make up a scent profile for me.... Here is what it told me: I currently use: Coco Eau de Parfum - CoCo Chanel, Stronger With You Intensely by Emporio Armani , Knot Eau Absolue by Bottega Veneta, L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, Santal & Vetiver by Salt and Stone. Many fragrances will choke me up but these more masculine scents don't do that to me.. and frankly...don't choke others up either. I receive NO complaints when I wear masculine scents... The complaints happen when I wear flowery scents or citrusy soapy scents. It took me a long long time to figure out what my scent profile was. I have purchased SO many perfumes based on the label alone and discovered later that the scent just didn't work for me or faded early. I had to do a lot of research into the art and science of perfume making. Here is what chatgpt told me my shared ingredient themes are: I sit strongly in the Woods .. Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Vetiver. Amber, Benzoin, Labdanum. Amber like accords. SOME warm vanilla but not gourmand bakery vanilla. I love having clove, coriander, pink pepper, cinnamon, cadamom, black pepper, warm spices in my scents. Some Bergomot, light citrus lift. I consistenly choose Warm, Woody, Amber-based, Spiced, Unisex...slightly masculine leaning scents. Even Coco...which was my signature scent for years is a deep amber-spice floral....not an airy floral. I like scents that feel expensive, slightly mysterious, structured and gender blurring. Lately.. Ive been going over the moon and back with Santal.. thanks to when Santal 33 from Le Labo came out. What I haven't done yet is mix my own signature scent. I would like to do that here...when I get a chance.. First I had to figure out ...what was it EXACTLY that kept me going back to the same scents over and over again...and once I understood that... now.... the entire world of cologne, perfumes ..international scents, essences and extracts...now its less confusing to me and I can decide more easily what my next perfume should be...

Nice that a smaller place offers a variety of syrups and alternative milks. While your coffee is being made you can browse around the store. This is my go to spot for gifting. The assortment of cookbooks, spices and rubs, and gourmet treats mean that I can find just about anyone something from here. I love their selection of local Tampa and Seminole heights products. I now own a couple Seminole heights tea towels and Tampa whiskey glasses because they caught my eye when visiting on different occasions. I have shopped for Father's Day here, a baby shower, and Christmas. They have great selection and variety of items they bring in and carry. The other side is full of skincare, hair care, and everything in between. They have huge selections for both men and women and their selection is impressive. I hope this place only grows in popularity. It's a great shop for Seminole heights.

I already own a few of Jo Malone's luxury fragrances, each with its own unique scent. This time, I wanted to buy a body crème to match. After testing and layering a few options, like Pomegranate Noir and Dark Amber & Ginger Lily, I chose the Dark Amber & Ginger Lily body crème. To make the experience more special, my purchase included a beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers, which came with every purchase. My salesperson, Merfat, was pleasant and knowledgeable. She also offered helpful suggestions for other fragrances to try. Truly a lovely shopping experience!

The store is clean and well-organized, and I love how the workers there have enthusiasm and knowledge over the products. I also love the recos they give which I will keep in mind if my idea doesn't work out. There's new products coming out all the time, so be sure to keep up to date of what's new and trending in beauty care. It's always a pleasure to stop by and Muffin enjoys her excursions with me in the store.

The only good section in the store were shoes . Clothing was so bland that nothing caught my eye which is so disappointing, handbags were 1/5 and no good designer sunglasses. I ended up with a few pairs of great heels but no accessories , clothing etc fir use Service was good abut holy wow if you have to use the bathroom while shopping , run to find someone because the door is only opened with a code.

You can read reviews on their own website - folks complain about this all the time. They do a great job of letting you know what they don't test on - animals. That's great, but I'm not sure they fully test their products. I think it's basic soap and they focus on the scents, which often cause irritation. My other issue with this company is their website. They list items on sale, but then these items are never available. Interestingly, the items that are in stock are not on sale. This applies to a single product where the size in stock is not on sale, but the size that's out of stock is on sale. It's just an illusion. You can find natural products at Walmart for an 1/8th of the price.

Typical price of a piece of soap would run you around $8-10. When you enter they make you hand sanitize with some sanitizer. This is to ensure your hands are clean for touching the items in the store since they are not wrapped. It was a bit confusing when we went to buy a soap as there wasn't any direction on how to pack it or what exactly the side should be. So I walked to the front and asked the only worker I saw. He explained to grab a bag and place the piece of soap in it that we are wanting to purchase. The store smells wonderful!! Nicely laid out store but on the rather expensive side for soaps.
