Drugstore Cowgirl: Recreating Some Beloved Cheap Classics

Love's Baby Soft AND Ambush?! I love this so much!

Hi nosegays. How’s September treating you so far? I sat outside by a fire last night and felt a DISTINCT CRISPNESS. Into it. Ready for some heady, amber-y, smoky smells, too. Speaking of which, let’s answer some perfume requests, the first of which is right up this crunchy-leaves-strewn aisle. Mara says…

Current signature scent is By The Fireplace (Replica by Maison Margiela), Ambre (L’occitane en Provence), Debaser (DS & Durga)

I like all of these, too! Also, Maison Margiela is having a 30 percent off sale right now, which is very tempting but I just bought some perfectly ridiculous underwear and am putting myself on a bit of a no-buy for a bit because contrary to popular belief, writing about cheap perfume and the occasional foray into topics like The Truth About John Lennon’s Very First Girlfriend Thelma Pickles, doesn’t pay exceptionally well. HOWEVER, I might just make an exception because Bath & Body Works is also having a sale—all moisturizers for just $4.95 and there’s a B&BW scent that’s a pretty good approximation for By The Fireplace!
