Even In Senior Confusion, Perfume Retains Its Hold

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 Oct11 Nov 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 Sep11 Nov 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, […]

Airline Shop Leads With Luxe Duty Frees

18 May by Melanie

When I was off on my travels recently and after putting the airplane’s safety notices back in their pouch, I took a good long glance at the sales catalogue. Loads of perfumes and products for us all at the usual travel sales guide. Of course the goods can only be bought via the airline on […]

From Lavender Bags To Perfumery Fan

16 Apr16 Apr by Melanie

I had never been a tremendous fan of lavender as a plant or scent. It seems to have past me by as just something my grandmother grew in her garden and eventually made hundreds of lavender bags with. These were tiny little squares of any materials left overs – she would machine sew three sides […]

Neurobiology – Whooh Who Knew!

20 Mar by Melanie

We probably all tend to think of perfume or aftershave as the finishing touch to an outfit in our daily dressing routine. I’s true to say that generally I do stick fairly rigidly to a routie myself, i.e. alarm,teeth, jump into shower, apply anti wrinkle cream, body lotion, bending and stretching exercises and Pilates for […]

Keeping Things Lively & Bright Through Spring

02 Feb08 Jan by Melanie

There’s definitely a touch of early spring in the air now. Christmas, with all the mulled wine and cinanamon stick smells has well and truly gone and we can look forward to the aroma of spring. Hyacinth bulbs are coming out early – in fact all the usual garden bulbs are confused – after the […]

Great Aunt’s Daily Routine Is A Scented Wonder & Delight

05 Jan08 Jan by Melanie

I’ve just been away with relatives – one of whom is well into her 90s. This old bird is as lively as ever. A real Londoner; having been born in Rotherhythe, could well claim to be of the East Enders brigade. She does not portray that though. No coarse language or miserable mannerisms for this […]

Winter Walks Re-Energise The Skin & Senses

08 Dec08 Jan by Melanie

When winter approaches, there’s a tendency to keep indoors – no cold air allowed! I personally love going out in the cold. I’m not keen on damp, but a crisp cold morning charges up the senses! I am fastidious about my skin care anyway but for winter I do ensure I drink just as much […]
