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.
Matthew Williamson English Garden Candle
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Definitely off season but absolutely none the worse for it – this scented candle from Matthew Williamson is warm and earthy, shot through with sunshine notes such as bergamot…
Jo Loves Eucalyptus & Cedar Woods A Lifestyle Fragrance
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] For those who don’t celebrate Christmas or don’t like obvious associated fragrances, I think that the Jo Loves Eucalyptus & Cedar Woods A Lifestyle Fragrance strikes a good balance…
Jo Malone London Christmas 2022
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So much of Jo Malone London Christmas 2022 is about the packaging – snowballs and dots with frosted glass and sumptuous ribbons. I’ve noticed that the brand is doing…
Neom Organics Christmas Sets
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Neom has one of the strongest gift collections that I’ve seen this season. The candle set I’m featuring is selling out or low stock everywhere I look. The brand…
M&S Festive Candles
[unpaid/affiliate] I’m aware that I’ve got some pricy candles coming up but I was in my local M&S on Saturday and got chatting with a lady by the candle display…
Guerlain Hand Wash Review
[unpaid/sample] We are very definitely in the land of luxury here with Guerlain’s new hand soaps, but oh my, these are very tempting. I should first say that each one…
NEOM De-Stress Candle Review
[unpaid/sample] It’s getting to candle time, isn’t it – darker evenings, colder weather (although we are scheduled for 22 degrees tomorrow!) and a need to nurture. It’s a while since…
Juliette Has A Gun Ego Stratis Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you want a fragrance that’s both bright and moody, you have it in Juliette Has A Gun Ego Stratis. It’s a long while since I’ve reviewed this brand…
Boy Smells Neopeche Candle
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve wanted to try Boy Smells in one way or another for a long time – it’s just such a cool brand. I’ve got a couple now – Neopeche…
Travalo Milano Travel Atomizer
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Swit-swoo! Travalo has got fancy. I’ve had various iterations of Travalo over the years (it’s a mini atomizer that you decant your favourite fragrance into so you can take…
Grazia Parfum Review
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] After some initial confusion about whether Grazia Parfum is anything to do with Grazia Magazine (grazia means grace in Italian and yes it is the brand’s first foray into…
Jo Loves Pomelo
[unpaid/sample] It’s very much turned out to be fragrance week this week – totally unexpectedly but I’ve enjoyed trying them. This one, Jo Loves Pomelo, I don’t need to try…
Miller Harris Myrica Muse Fragrance
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] At first glance, Myrica Muse looks rather uncomplicated. Fruits, rose and rum – how easily digestible for the olfactory senses… like a Pimms in the garden; straightforwardly delicious. However,…
Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Of all the Jo Malone London fragrances, I’d say that English Pear & Freesia isn’t amongst my favourites – I’m not particularly drawn to freesia so I’m searching for…
Bvlgari Allegra Baciami Fragrance
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you love a floral amber fragrance and have deep pockets, Bvlgari Allegra Baciami Fragrance is a magnificent example of the genre. Actually, although price is no indicator of…
