I do miss Hiram Green’s old shop near Carnaby Street. Local artists used to paint custom murals on his walls, that were ever so sparsely and selectively shelved with sumptuous scents. His shop introduced me to a new world of natural perfumes that I have never forgotten, and I still feel vaguely nostalgic about. I enjoyed many [...]

Cinq monde has just opened their first spa shop in London, in fact the official spa opening is on 22 Feb between 12-8. I nipped in to receive a complimentary tin of Black Tea with rare spices, but more importantly to sniff out these new scents in London. In addition to Taoist, Balinese, Siam, Ayurvedic [...]

Anyone reading my blog might think I work for the Haute Perfumery, but I don’t blame you for thinking so. Yesterday, I discovered my signature scent cost an aspirational £1000 pounds! But if I could live on perfume alone, I would buy it. I had been looking forward to an exclusive fragrance consultation with one of [...]

Owing to a rare find of a vintage Devon violets bottle and a request for violet perfume, my attention has gravitated towards a violet theme this week. (The bottle on the right with a hand painted violet still smells great, with notes of absinth, actual violet leaf and sweet violet top notes.) For those who know me as obsessed with roses, it [...]

This was a fortuitous find, the Paris Boutique of Parfums Divine and close to Fragonard’s Perfume Museum too. I first came across this range at Liberty in London last year and immediately hinted to my husband that he would love the scent of L’Ame Soer on me. He duly obliged and I am the proud [...]

I know a place where glamour and beauty still exist. This hidden chamber on the fifth floor in Harrods is accessible from the Egyptian escalators. I have lost count of the number of times I have been there to shimmer and indulge in luxury. I have never been there and not received a wonderful reception and [...]

For weeks now I have been checking the progress of this new fragrance shop in Knightsbridge. The doors were covered in paper, but tauntingly a sliver of the opulence, chandeliers and glass shelves, were still visible. Finally, they opened their doors three days ago and with excited anticipation I stepped into this Aladdins cave [...]
