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…
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)…
