I really love this time of year…the flowers, the longer days and the promise of lots of Easter chocolate. Whether you’re looking to celebrate Mother’s Day or not, here are some perfumes which will make great gifts for family or special friends and at a range of price points. The first perfume on my listContinue reading “Mother’s Day Gift Ideas”

Discover Your Scent… Last week I attended a So…? Unique event in London. I had been looking forward to the day which was set to include a masterclass with Nick Gilbert on how best to layer scents from the brand’s Unique range. The aim of the class would be to discover your perfect combination ofContinue reading “So…? Unique Event”

Today I have a new perfume to review. The brand, however, is by no means new to me. So many of my favourite perfumes came from this designer as a teenager and in my early twenties. Of course then my perfume collection was a lot smaller, so owning four or five scents from one brandContinue reading “Revisiting an Old Favourite…”

I’m no stranger to the celebrity perfume market. I think it all started for me because of how much attention there used to be around each and every launch. I didn’t quite get into J Lo Glow the first time around in 2003 (and the Elizabeth Taylor launches were before my time) but when theContinue reading “My Top Ten Celebrity Perfumes Right Now!”

For the last few years I’ve considered my taste in perfume to fall into a few different categories; gourmand, super sweet (I realise there can be overlap with those two!), ‘unusual’, ‘woody’ and unisex.

I wondered what would set these scents apart from other brands and how they really would compare to ‘niche” quality. After a chat with Johan I chose three of the scents to review.Continue reading “New Brand Review – Niche 4 All”

This week I have thought about all the perfumes I’ve owned previously and no longer have in my collection! A lot of these scents come to mind when I see others posting reviews of them, or of course even just when I’m browsing the shops as is the cases with the ones that are stillContinue reading “The Ones I Used to Own!”

My collection of perfume is bigger than most people’s. Of course this means I have parted with the cash over the years but, there genuinely have been times when my claims of “I really don’t spend that much on it!” have been true! I decided to break this down into what are hopefully handy tipsContinue reading “How I Find Perfumes at Affordable Prices!”

I wanted to start my weekly posts with something that shows how and when (and maybe a little ‘why’) I came to have so many perfumes along with the more personal memories along the way. Next week I will finally be counting how many I have – at the moment!- which I don’t think I’veContinue reading “All The Perfume…How It All Began!”

I was interviewed for The Scented Letter last month and in preparation I had to think of my top ten favourite perfumes. I thought that it might be difficult to narrow down my favourites from such a large collection (there are really so many I love) but actually once I started to list them itContinue reading “My Top Ten Favourite Perfumes!”
