Grannie’s Old Peculiar – Combats Nasty Niffs

A little drop of a favourite scent has always been the way to win over a cranky old relative – be she a grandma or great aunt. There are a great number of old fashioned perfumes that would have been the number one on a list of 2 things you could buy for a present! […]

Feeling Great Is Halfway There

23 Sep by Melanie

Funny how some ladies only feel they’re up and alive for their pulic when they sport a tan of some sort. It was once the reserve of the rich and famous to sport an all over but some folk seem to be taking this a bit too far. I thought orange tans had gone out […]

Be A Knock Out Guest For The Right Reasons

03 Aug27 Jul by Melanie

One of the mysteries of life as far as I am concerned is the way that perfume is manufactured. I know of course that in days of yore, the monks used to collect various herbs and wild flowers and make up all kinds of potions and magical remedies. This is why so many of them […]

From Summer Into Autumnal Perfume Change

02 Jul27 Jun by Melanie

Oh how this summer is settling into the familiar pattern of recent years. In fact the year as a whole is. Dreadful winter months from end of October, storms and flooding like we’ve not had in living memory. The raifall, so much needed in the summer months, only seems to hit in quantity when we […]

Enjoy The Spectacle Of The Perfume Counters

27 Jun by Melanie

In my ignorance or niaviity, I avoided using perfume and scented products for most of my life. I think possibly I’d had a reaction to a spray of scent or maybe my mother decided for me that I was unable to wear it. However, these false worries make such an impact on our ability to […]

The Science Behind Perfumes Is Noted

15 May by Melanie

There are so many perfumes out there – the beauty shops and cosmetic counters are swimming in bottles of scent of some sort or another and our ears are bombarded with sales assistants imploring us to buy this offer or that when we get to the checkout. I am very careful about any perfumery products […]

Memories Rekindled With Teenage Perfume Joy

06 Apr by Melanie

I’ve had presents to get for a couple of seriously difficult people to buy for this year. Both of them are very aged and both have dementia in varous stages. It’s terribly difficult to concentrate the mind on any subject when we visit either of them – they flit from one bizarre disjointed sentence to […]

Even In Senior Confusion, Perfume Retains Its Hold

07 Mar by Melanie

Taking care of precious things is something we all think we are very good at. Secretive little billets-doux as young love spring – never too eternally it turns out, but long enough to want to hide any written evidence . . . Then there is the jewellery box with our favourite little bits and bobs […]

Perfume Differs Depending On Time Of Year

13 Feb by Melanie

There are different perfumes suitable for the changing seasons. I find a light floral aroma in spring smells completely different again in autumn. I cannot understand it when it has the same products in each time. However I have been told that it reacts differently each time it is sprayed on a persons skin. If […]

Keep Those Winter Blues Under Wraps

19 Jan19 Jan by Melanie

Keeping cheerful in the depths of a cold and wintery day can sometimes be a challenge, even for the sturdiest of us. I always find that a brisk walk round the lakes at my local country park is a truly exhiliarating exercise and works wonders for the brain, body and skin. I have a short, […]
