Tweet A few weeks ago I was supposed to attend a Perfumery lesson at The Cotswold Pefumery. I was really looking forward to it; I’m no perfume connoisseur but I do love a bit of DIY – unfortunately Mr C’s car broke (who needs a clutch anyway?) so we couldn’t make the 4 hour drive. Nevertheless, I thought I’d show you The Cotswold Perfumery! Such a pretty building! The perfumery courses are run by John Stephen, who takes you through the {Read More}
Tweet It’s not often I fall in love with a perfume, like, really fall in love in love with one. I don’t know what it is that makes a scent really work with someone…but when I smell it, I know! Molton Brown’s Navigation Through Scent is the brands first foray into fine fragrances. I went to the launch a few weeks ago and each perfume was presented with in its own little alcove, and each represents a real geographic location. {Read More}
Tweet I’m not one for spraying perfume on myself throughout the day – I think it’s a little too pungent especially in the work place. So I am a fan of body sprays and solid perfumes for touching up! Dariya is a huge brand in Japan and the Palty range is famous for hair dye – but it also has a extensive range of products for men. This Palty solid fragrance stick comes in a few variations (woody, citrus, oriental) {Read More}
Tweet Les Fleurs de Bach is a range of products built around the Bach Flower essences; skincare, fragrances, elixirs… There are two scents, Vivacité de Bach for uplifting the spirits and Présences de Bach for relaxing and bringing balance. I chose Vivacité because god knows I need some energy! They say: The cheerful and spicy scent of Vivacité(s) de Bach will build up a sense of confidence and will result in an enterprising mind, strengthened with an uplifting sense of {Read More}
Tweet I’ve recently tried to streamline my handbag, carrying multi purpose products where I can. This Michael Kors Eau De Parfum rollerball is rather nifty, as it’s half perfume, half lip gloss! Tint lips with a natural, sheer nude shimmering gloss then flip to the rollerball to refresh with the Michael Kors Signature fragrance. The universally flattering colour is so subtle it will add a touch of understated glamour to all skin tones, making it every woman’s must-have. I am {Read More}
Tweet Release last year as part of their Winter collection, I ignored Majolica Majorca’s Majoromantica Perfume until now because: a. I couldn’t find it anywhere (it’s Limited Edition) b. It has a stupid name. I caved and found a few good sellers on eBay and lo and behold, here is my pretty Majoromantica! To be honest whilst I like MJ I have more misses than hits with this brand, I think KATE and Lavshuca is stronger on a product to {Read More}
Tweet I’ve become quite a perfume lover, although I am no expert – I know when I smell something I like! I guess my tastes are quite commercial, and I am always suckered in by a pretty bottle. I already have a few Michael Kors scents – I find them quite sexy, and Very Hollywood is to me, a madly girly, floral, pretty scent. It’s 100% princess. I can almost see the sparkle dust in the air when I apply {Read More}
Tweet After writing a review on my current Pacifica collection, I decided that I needed more solid perfumes that suited the Autumn/Winter season. Researching the Pacifica site I decided to hunt down four more scents, Mexican Cocoa, Spanish Amber, Tibetan Mountain Temple & Lotus Garden Review. Ooh yes. Not happy about the pricing. These are just $9 each on the Pacifica US site, in the UK they are sold for £10 or sometimes more. Cheeky! Anyway here is my more {Read More}
