How could you not feel happy wearing such a bright and cheery scent as this? If you think that the packaging's bright, you should smell what's inside! It's spicy, fruity and herby all at the same time - light and refreshing, as all colognes should be, but with an...
Last month Jo Malone launched a new collection based on very modern floral scent combinations, with a few unusual elements thrown in. There are three 100ml Colognes; Peony & Moss, White Lilac & Rhubarb and Iris & Lady Moore. I like that they have gone a...
Just quickly, a couple of cute scents for Spring – I’ve been meaning to post these up for a while! 1) Vivienne Westwood’s Cheeky Alice, from £32 at Debenhams.com. This is a fresher, flirtier and slightly more floral scent than ‘Naughty Alice’ and I love the...
Hahaha! I actually 'LOL'd at my own joke there, it was so bad. Never mind, there's no hope for me, really! Yes, Agent Provocateur's fragrance range (one of my all-time favourites) is on CheapSmells.com at ridiculous prices. By ridiculous I mean a 70% reduction on some...
I have been trawling through a whole load of fragrances, wondering what to suggest people buy for Christmas or put on their wish-lists, and I have realised that the main problem with fragrance - the biggest reason for it sometimes feeling like a bit of a 'cop out'...
Obsession of the month: ridding myself of negative energy. Sounds startlingly hippyish coming from me, the most cynical person in existence, but it's true. I am spending so much time in front of a computer screen these days that I can almost feel my mind 'buzzing'...
I have recently been introduced to some lovely fragrances from perfumers Florascent. The bottles and outer packaging are really beautiful and the fragrances themselves are fresh, pure and uncomplicated. My favourites (after sniffing my way through 20 little vials!)...
Floris have launched two new special edition fragrances into their Private Collection: Mahon Leather and Sirena. Mahon Leather is far too masculine for me to even consider wearing myself, but I love the light freshness of Sirena. If you tend to stay away from...
Jo Malone recently released a new range - Wild Bluebell - which includes a cologne, a home candle and a body wash and crème. It's a pretty unusual fragrance, but one that I have been dousing myself in on a daily basis nonetheless. This seems to be my preferred...
(Don't click the video - it won't work, it's a screen grab! xxx) I have done my first ever fragrance review video for Basenotes - a brilliant website for perfume enthusiasts all over the world! It's a great place to go and get the latest fragrance news and there's a...
ckone "shock" launched in the UK last week and I went along to the launch party at Shoreditch House. You'll see from the photo below that I got roped into having my picture taken with Uber-model and star of the new campaign, Lara Stone, which was a bit unexpected. I...
I know that this perfume has been out for a while, but I have only recently tried it. How did this, a rose inspired fragrance, escape my eagle eye? The original Chloé perfume has been given a pretty pink ribbon for spring and the addition of rose to the fragrance has...
