Weekend Reads | Smelling Your Best
I’ve had a fascination with fragrance from a young age which I seem to have inherited from my mother whose dressing tables are filled with the latest fragrances from fashion houses, unique perfume oils from souks in Arabia and old classics like Givenchy Organza, Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers and Chanel No 5. Perfume just runs through my veins and it’s an obsession that will never die down.
Only my bank manager knows how much I spend on candles! I have luxury candles from the likes of Jo Malone and Cowshed scattered across my house to fill it with the scents of jasmine, tuberose, palmarosa, sandalwood, frankincense and any other exotic fragrance, but sometimes nothing beats spicing up a cheap candle with a few drops of perfume oil.

Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Hand Massage
Jo Malone products are not only of the finest quality, they also have the most breathtaking scents to them. My favourite Jo Malone fragrance, Nectarine Blossom & Honey can be found throughout the range of hand wash, body creme and candle. I light up my candle in the shower, but when I’m not unwinding I’ll store it in my wardrobe to subtly scent my clothes.
