I seem to have avoided the Jo Malone hype for some time – I think I was overwhelmed by the huge array of fragrances available, coupled with the fact they’re on the expensive side and I already own enough perfumes to last a lifetime. But I decided to set aside some time and spend a while in store to see what the fuss was about. Armed with a handful of…
Bvlgari Jasmin Noir
With the arrival of Autumn, I thought it was time to step away from my usual sweet and girly fragrances which make up the vast majority of my perfume collection, and wear something a little more chic and sophisticated. My choice… Bvlgari Jasmin Noir from Perfume’s Club. A captivating mix of jasmine and gardenia petals with accents of almond and woody notes, I love how different this smells compared to the rest of my fragrance…
Vintage Love Eau De Toilette
As you may know if you’ve read about my perfume collection or browsed my fragrance posts, I’m partial to ultra feminine scents, which are beautifully packaged and a delight to behold. I was recently browsing the online beauty section at Marks & Spencer when I came across Vintage Love Eau de Toilette. As soon as I saw it, I knew I would buy it for the bottle alone, as it reminded me…
Neom Inspiration Organic Reed Diffuser
I’ve recently been enjoying experimenting with the world of home fragrance, finally utilising all the scented candles I’d collected over the years but for some reason had never used (truth be told I think I bought them simply because they looked pretty). Although scented candles are lovely, they only release their fabulous fragrance when lit, which means they’re something of an evening only indulgence. But wanting our home to smell…

It’s described as an Oriental floral blend, opening with passion fruit and citrus notes of lemon and mandarin, settling into a warm heart of jasmine, orange and white lotus whilst the musky base notes include warm amber, tonka beans and ebony wood. The bottle is as girly and youthful…
Jo Malone Boutique Nottingham
Last month I was invited to the opening of a new Jo Malone boutique in my hometown of Nottingham. I’d heard good things about Jo Malone, mostly with regards to their exquisite fragrances, but my knowledge of the brand didn’t extend much beyond this so I was keen to learn more. Tucked away in the fashionable Lace Market, the boutique is the perfect addition to the quaint square. The boutique is…
New Angel EDT by Thierry Mugler
I’ve been looking for a new perfume now that we’re heading towards Autumn/Winter. My preferences steer toward light, sweet feminine scents for the best part of the year but in the cooler months I like to have something a little more warm and musky. I was recently sent the new Angel fragrance by Thierry Mugler and I have to say it fits the bill perfectly. Originally there was Angel, the first…
