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.
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…
New Clinique My Happy Fragrances
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Oh my – if you’re looking for a fragrance treat that won’t stretch your wallet too hard, the new Clinique My Happy Fragrances are prime candidates. I’ve lost track…
Malin + Goetz Bergamot Candle
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] A new candle from this brand is always a treat – the Malin + Goetz Otto candle is one of my favourites. So, along comes Bergamot (actually, they released…
Moschino Toy 2 Bubble Gum
[unpaid/sample] When Moschino Toy 2 Bubble Gum arrived, my first thought was that it had really better smell of bubble gum. It’s a long time since I’ve had any but…
Kartushya Abode Mist Intense
[unpaid/sample] My dad used to be obsessed with room sprays (and some sort of scented rings that you put over your light bulbs to let the heat diffuse the fragrance)…
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole (Sun Nectar)
[unpaid/sample] If ever a fragrance caught the anticipation of summer, this is it. I rarely look at fragrance descriptions before I try them so that first impressions aren’t skewed and…
New Flower By Kenzo EDT
[unpaid/sample] I need to quickly put right yesterday’s post where somehow I thought I had Kenzo Poppy Bouquet when in fact, it’s the new version of the original. All I…
Jo Loves Cobalt Patchouli & Cedar
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] There’s no doubt that the bottle is the initial draw for this new fragrance from Jo Loves. Designed by artist Natasha Murray, it’s such a striking reference to the…
Goutal Paris Une Maison de Campagne Scented Candle
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] As you’ll understand from the name, the scent of the Goutal Paris Une Maison de Campagne Scented Candle endeavours to capture the countryside – think fresh berries and posies…
The Body Shop White Musk & Mixers
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad/prioradrelationship] The Body Shop is banking on both nostalgia and curiosity with this new launch of mixers and White Musk, both vegan formulas. I will admit that White Musk isn’t…
Escentric Molecule 01 + Mandarin Review
[unpaid/sample] The words that came into my head after my first spritz of Escentric Molecule 01 + Mandarin were ‘neon’ and ‘electric’. This is the most amplified, vibrant citrus fragrance…
Medeau Origin Ethical Fragrance
[unpaid/sample/priorpaidrelationship] Ethical doesn’t quite cover Medeau and it’s principles because one word can’t say all of the things that make Medeau different from most other fragrances. I worked with the…
