  • Monsoon: Rose Gold eau de parfum

    Monsoon: Rose Gold eau de parfum

    The love affair with rose gold is showing no signs of fizzling out, with fashion retailer Monsoon moving in with Rose Gold*, a fragrance fit for autumn.

    Review: Diptyque Eau des Sens

    Spring is officially here and Diptyque has a new fragrance to ring in the new season. Eau de Sens* is a zesty scent with orange blossom as its key note. It is typically Diptyque – soft, sophisticated and sensual. As well as the sharp, crisp notes of orange blossom, there is also bitter orange, juniper…

  • Clinique: Aromatics in Black Eau de Parfum

    Clinique: Aromatics in Black Eau de Parfum

    Clinique recently launched Aromatics in Black*, the latest fragrance to join its Aromatics range and aptly dressed for winter, it’s comes in a striking black bottle. I actually fell under its spell from the moment I sprayed it on my wrist in the Clinique boutique in Covent Garden a few weeks ago and knew I just…

  • Jo Loves: Candle Shot

    Jo Loves: Candle Shot

    I begin this post with sadness because a few months ago I actually wrote at great length about how I met the one and only Jo Malone who made a bespoke candle for me, only to lose the entire draft through some technical error. Thanks a lot, WordPress for bodging that up. I’d spent hours writing this…

  • Avon Attraction: For Him and For Her

    Avon Attraction: For Him and For Her

    It must said Avon does fragrances very well. Their collaboration with Herve Leger on the scent Femme is my favourite and their Little Black Dress perfume is apparently very similar to Dior’s Pure Poison (according to my friend who loves both fragrances in equal measures.) With this in mind, I had nothing but high hopes for…

  • Thierry Mugler Angel Eau Sucree

    Thierry Mugler Angel Eau Sucree

    It’s hard to believe that next month we will be half way through the year. That is terrifying! On the other hand, it does mean summer is nearly on our doorsteps so cue a change in wardrobe of clothes, shoes, make-up and fragrances. Thierry Mugler’s Angel has been given a fresh make-over for summer with the…

    Thierry Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire Gold Shimmer

    Last year Thierry Mugler brought us Alien Eau Extraordinaire, a light and sweet floral fragrance composed from a blend of bergamot, tea and neroli, tiare flower and white amber.

  • The Fragrance Shop’s Discovery Club

    The Fragrance Shop’s Discovery Club

    The market for beauty subscription boxes may be a little saturated but one I’m not familiar with yet sounds like a great idea is The Fragrance Shop’s Discovery Club*. This month the high street perfume retailer is celebrating two years of the club with a bumper box of 10 classic favourite fragrance samples plus an…
