I am in the mood for floral… flowers and fragrance… the gentle, the calm… the soothing.
The world has not been a comforting place these past few days… terror, sadness, heartache and destruction.
Fragrance won’t ever change the world… but it can brighten a mood… lift the spirits and offer an escape… albeit brief.
The same can be said of flowers… planting them, picking them and arranging them is balm for the soul.
Inhaling their sweet sent… can elevate our moods and provide hope… make us smile.
I have a new fragrance for you… I think it is perfect for now… It is my daughter’s current favourite and mine too.
It was time for me to break away…Gardenia Passion will always be my true love… but for the next few months I will be wearing Neroli Portofino.
The right blend of Tunisian neroli, Italian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, winter yellow mandarin, lavender, orange flower rosemary and amber.
Scent, the most luxurious of luxuries and the most precious of the potent.
Do you find comfort in scent? Do you change your perfume with your moods, or do you stay loyal to a fragrance? xv
