Fragrance Reviews
Fragrance and perfume reviews as well as my favourite home fragrance, candles and diffusers. Here you’ll find everything fragrance related including exclusive launches and my top favourites from international best sellers to niche British perfumer finds.
Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme
[unpaid/sample] It’s been a long time since my romance with Gucci Guilty – the only fragrance I can remember being stopped in the street to be asked what fragrance I…
BDK Tubereuse Imperiale Hair Perfume
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m a push over for a hair fragrance but this is next level – you could so easily wear it as a regular fragrance too because it’s extremely generous.…
Elizabeth Arden White Tea Ginger Lily Fragrance
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/prioradrelationship] My nose always heads straight to any citrus or jasmine notes in any fragrance and sure enough, the bitter orange hits first. I’m not mad about musky scents in…
Aromatherapy Associates Candles Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] When it comes to creating a feeling of serenity, you’d expect that to come from the scent of a candle rather than the appearance. But, I find both the…
Roadscents
[unpaid/samples] How I haven’t come across the Roadscents brand before I don’t know. I adored the Diptyque in car diffuser and miss it still but can quite honestly say that…
Zara RAIN Fragrances by Jo Malone
[unpaid/sample] Firstly, this is the last time I have a ‘great’ idea to be literal and photograph RAIN in the actual rain. My hair is unspeakable. But, the news is…
CHANEL Paris-Edimbourg Fragrance
[unpaid/sample] As a brand, CHANEL has a long history with Scotland – from 1924 when Coco Chanel met Hugh Grosvenor who introduced her to the Scottish Highlands and moors. How…
LOEWE Paula’s Ibiza Fragrance
[unpaid/sample] Ibiza is a bit of a mystery to me – I’ve been – once – to Pacha, the most famous nightclub in Ibiza town and I can hardly remember…
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Hard to imagine, I know, a glorious, sunshine filled day but it’s definitely what this fragrance needs to get the full olfactory effect. The Aqua Allegoria collection is designed…
Parks Candle Fresh Orange Blossom
[unpaid/sample] This was such a pleasant surprise when it arrived unexpectedly in the post. I love orange blossom and this is a lovely version that is generous on scent. There’s…
Bvlgari Omnia By Mary Katrantzou
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This feels like a very glorious start to the week – a collaboration between fashion designer Mary Katrantzou, known for her exuberant prints and vivid colours, and Italian luxury…
New! Furla Fragrance
[unpaid/sample] Italian leather brand, Furla, is probably best known for its impeccably crafted handbags. Furla, as a brand, began in Bologna in 1927 and is still run by the Furlanetto…
Jo Malone London Marmalade Collection
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Unless you opt for the Orange Peel cologne, the marmalade title doesn’t do this collection justice. It’s really a delicious collection of fruity fragrances that are typical to a…
Malin+Goetz Limited Edition Strawberry
[unpaid/sample] This will be unlike any strawberry inspired fragrance you may have experienced before. There is most certainly strawberry in the mix but you can only just reach it –…
& Chai Soy Tealights
[unpaid/purchase] I snapped this box of mixed scented tea lights because I love the idea of sampling different fragrances before upsizing. I’m sure there are others but I haven’t seen…
