Olivia’s Haven The Wedding Candle
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] We’ve got a couple of weddings this summer – one that’s been postponed twice (it might be three times actually now I think about it) and is now finally…
Coach Wild Rose EDP Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] As you might imagine, it’s rather a ‘rosy’ time at the moment – they’re in full bloom, they’re associated so much with the British garden and of course, it’s…
CHANEL Paris-Paris Les Eaux Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Back in 2018, CHANEL introduced six fragrant waters created to be fresh, aquatic aromas that kept their thread to the brand but more lightly. I am CHANEL No.5 forever,…
Olivia’s Haven Peach Bellini Candle

Ouai Rue St Honore Eau de Parfum
[unpaid/sample] If you like tropical inspired fragrances, you’ll instantly pick out the ylang-ylang in this floral perfume which is all about summer. I’m not sure why it’s called Rue St.…
Jo Malone London The Beauty Of The British Isles Collection

Happy Paul Fragrance
[unpaid/sample] I went to Professional Beauty yesterday with my friend Genevieve – I think regular readers will remember it from previous years, but if not, it’s a professional beauty trade…
Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb & Rose Fragrance Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Delicious is exactly the right word for this splash of rhubarb. I know rhubarb is divisive – in my family, two of us love it, two of us loathe…
Confessions Of A Rebel Fragrance
[unpaid/sample] This brand is so interesting and it’s a marker of the shape of things to come in fragrance world. There are several big fragrance creation houses – Symrise, Givaudan…
Jo Malone London Special Edition Peony & Blush Suede
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you have an extra special occasion to buy for, the Jo Malone London limited edition bottles are always worth considering. I like them for bridesmaid gifts, brides and…
Jo Malone London Blossoms 2022 Sardinian Summer
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I realise I’ve favoured Bitter Mandarin over Sea Daffodil with the pictures in this post but I bought some very juicy (and delicious) mandarins to illustrate and then just…
L’Occitane Herbae Clary Sage Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I feel I have my work cut out trying to describe this new fragrance, L’Occitane Herbae Clary Sage, because it’s not really like any I’ve smelled before. The whole…
Jo Malone London Rose Favourites
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m hot-foot from doing an on-line workshop making paper flowers (results at the end of the post!) with Jo Malone London to have a reminder of their rose offerings.…
