It’s my understanding that the wood caps are sustainably sourced as well. I’m not sure it’s possible to refill that type of bottle but what is good to see is that new brands bring an understanding of responsible sourcing from the get-go – they’re not in the position of having to reformat or rethink because they do it from the very beginning which in time will be properly impactful. x

It’s so strange that you bring up Laura Mercier because the almond variant is one of the few ‘foodie’ fragrances that I actually do like. I can see the draw for the sugary scents but they’re not for me – Santal is pleasant and lasted well on me.

100% agree, I don’t want to smell like a cake.
On the natural aspect, why are wood caps better – isn’t that actually worse as wood is very rarely sustainably sourced? A refillable bottle would have been much better, but with the price point maybe not something that can actually be done.
Happy to see a very honest review from you – I know you always are – and let us know if you find out more info about this ‘natural’ side of things.

HNY Jane! Thank you for reviewing! So true on the vanilla sweeter scents. I used to love them when I was younger and my daughter (15) loves them. Interestingly Mira is the most popular seller. I used to love the Laura Mercier Gourmond scents years ago but now I much prefer woody fragrances so from this collection Indra is my favourite with the Santal! X

Gourmands are super divisive – I got a migraine at a Thierry Mugler launch :-)))). And I vastly prefer Superdrug – in my local one recently someone asked if they could help me! I nearly fainted…

Happy New Year to you Jane and the BBB family. I hope you had a lovely, relaxed Christmas.
That description of the Mira scent is exactly how I feel about vanilla and gourmand / cupcake style fragrances :-P.
I don’t want to smell of frosting, cake mixture. Ever. Vanilla based fragrances are headache inducing, I thought it was just me! On the plus side the engagement aspect of the brand is good, I’m all in favour of small steps and I know and hope we will see a lot of more of this from major brands.
I love Superdrug, the fact they have tills with real people on them unlike Boots means they get my £££ every time, plus of course they stock Bourjois! Bonne Année! xxx
