Scent And Co

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well & had a fab weekend.

I have less than a week left at my current job then I am moving on to something different! I have worked where I have for like 8 years so for me this is going to be a bit of change but something that I need. 

I am a HUGE lover of perfume. I have always had such a soft spot for it. I cannot tell you how many perfumes I have. But it's one of those things where you can never have too many right? I tend to keep my more expensive ones for weekend's or special uses & use more high street cost fragrances for everyday use like work.

Trying out a fragrance I have always found difficult because you literally only get a spray & you don't get to actually try what it's like. 

So Scent & Co have come up with something great!

Scent & Co is a monthly subscription where you get to discover a new fragrance every month! Which I think is brilliant!

All you do is browse over 450 premium fragrances from the likes of:

*Tom Ford

*Viktor & Rolf

*Ted Baker

*Burberry

*Valentino 

*YSL

*Versace

*Prada

*Hugo Boss

*Gucci

& many other designers. For you to try. Once you have chose a fragrance you let Scent & Co know what you have picked or you can let them hand pick a fragrance for you to try. You then get sent out a month's supply (10ml) size of your chose through your letter box. 

The perfume comes in a perfect travel casing. Which you twist the base & the perfume appears. It is so handy for carrying around in your bag with you or even just taking this on holiday rather than a full size perfume.

This month I picked of Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb.

I have always wanted to try it as a few of my friends have it & have said what a gorgeous fragrance it is. I have to say I am so glad I chose it! It is such a gorgeous fragrance & could easily become one of my favourites.

Ghost Sweetheart Forever

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you have all had a not so bad monday. 
I swear it must be one of those dreaded days for everyone. Especially if like me you have weekends to yourself to do as you wish.

Recently I have been trying to find a new perfume to purchase. But I have found it hard to find something I like. When it comes to perfumes I love the more girly, flowery,sweet kind of scents.
I always have done. I do not like something that is too strong & overpowering because for me it is way too much of a strong scent.
When it comes to perfumes I definitely know what I like & what I don't!

I have always been a fan of Ghost fragrances. They are all individual & unique scents. But recently they have launched a brand new fragrance Ghost Sweetheart Forever. It is my favourite perfume of their's to date! It is beautiful! This is an addition to 2008's Ghost sweetheart. This is a more stronger scent but again a floral one. I was lucky enough to get a sample size version of this older one along with a cute coral shade lipgloss.

Ghost Sweetheart Forever is a floral fragrance. It smells of roses & white flowers along with a woody trail. It is also packed with a fruity, zesty orange smell. 

It truly is the perfect girly perfume going. Not to mention the price. It is such good value for money. So for an everyday perfume it is perfect. For work & during the week I tend to wear a more less expensive kind of perfume & wear a designer perfume for weekends or evening outs.

I would recommend it to anyone! It is now going to be my new go to perfume for some time.

You can purchase the gorgeous perfume at:

Have a fab evening!

Wave Of Scent

Happy Saturday Everyone!

The weekend is here yayyyy! My only sadness is it always goes just a little bit too quick. Or is that just me? I swear I must like say this every weekend but my gosh is it true! I cannot be the only one that feels like this.

I am such a sucker for a gorgeous perfume. 
I have so many but I feel like you cannot have enough of them. I tend to use less expensive ones during the week for work so like an everyday kind of scent & then for weekends & nights out I use my more expensive perfumes. So perfumes like Miss Dior or Gucci Guilty. These two have to be two of my favourite perfumes. Oh & not forgetting Prada Candy! I tend to like the more sweet, floral or fruity scents. I do not like anything overpowering or harsh. I think one because they don't suit my personality which may sound daft & two I just really do not like the smell of them.

For the spring & summer seasons I think the more floral & fruity scents are just perfect! They truly suit the seasons & fit perfect! I am a big fan of Hollister & recently they have just launched a new fragrance & it smells amazing! I love the brand Hollister because of their clothes. I had never tried any of their fragrances before but by the write up of it I thought it sounded perfect for the type of scents I like.

Wave 2 is the name of the new fragrance from Hollister. Which they do for both males & females. So there is something for anyone. The women's Wave 2 is such a summery smell! It would be perfect for a holiday perfume! It so reminds me of the heat, waves & rays of sunshine. It has floral, fruity notes to it. It interprets the summer feel & gives you that Californian feel.

I have to say the smell is gorgeous! It has easily become one of my new favourite perfumes I think! It is not overpowering it is light but also it does stay on for a reasonable amount of time throughout the day. Which to me is important especially when I am working 
throughout the day & do not get a chance to reapply it. 

It comes in a simple but lovely bottle. Nothing over the top. But as always with Hollister great quality. The bottle fits in perfectly with my other bottles of perfume too. Not only that but I feel it is great value for money which is important.

If like me you like the soft, fruity scents then this perfume is for you & I truly do recommend it! I definitely feel like after trying this fragrance from Hollister that I would try more from Hollister. 

You can purchase Wave 2 from:

Have a fab weekend!

What A Lovely Scent!

Happy Wednesday everyone! 
Half way through the working week now & this week has gone pretty quick I think. I think it's partly because I had a half day yesterday & only worked the morning due to needing the afternoon off for personal reasons. But I think it is going by the week.

Like any girl I absolutely love perfume but it can be hard trying to find something you like the smell of or even hard to just try a perfume out without having to commit to the whole bottle. Because lets face it you don't want to spend lots of money on a bottle of perfume that over time you don't actually like the smell of right? Where is the logic in that?

So when I came across Perfume Society I was so amazed!
The Perfume Society tells you everything you need to know about fragrance, the art of perfume, you name it anything you want to know about perfume you can find out about it through Perfume Society. Because they know how hard it is to just go into a shop & find a perfume you like, not only because there are SO many to choose which can completely confuse you. But not anymore with the amazing idea Perfume Society have with their discovery boxes! I never knew such things existed! 

Discovery boxes are available when you sign up as a VIP with the perfume society. This then means you get discovery boxes at a VIP price! You receive 8 digital editions of their magazine "The scented letter", a perfume discovery fragrance education (discovery box), invitations to events that they hold & workshops which are held nationwide. Not only that but you can also purchase limited edition discovery boxes which contain the brands like Shay & Blue, Prada & many others!

The boxes come with so many different types of scents depending on what kind of style you like.They do even do boxes for men which is perhaps a great way to find a suitable scent for a loved one. 

For me I like the more floral kind of light scents. 
So I chose to try the Heaven Scents discovery box. 

All the fragrances in the Heaven Scent box are handpicked for the certain type of scent that goes with the boxes name. 
The box come with 8 different fragrances to try along with information cards about each one telling you about the perfume e.g the smelling notes, top notes. But not only that it come with a FULL size Judith William's body lotion & Micallef's 20th year anniversary keyring.

The fragrances in the Heaven scent box were:




Shay & Blue - Blueberry Musk
Shay & Blue is a perfume house based in London which make glorious fragrances all from the finest hand picked blooms & exotic ingredients from around the world. This perfume like its name has a scent of a burst of blueberries & orange zest smell. So due to the light fresh fruity smell I found this is quiet a lovely day to day style perfume.

M Micallef - 20 years 
The scent of Micallef is again quite a fruity kind of one which also has a twist of roses with it. The fragrance is quite a subtle one not too heavy & again a fresh smell.

Prada Candy Florale
I have the normal Prada Candy myself & I am a huge lover of this perfume. I use it for more of my everyday go to perfume. But find it can also be used for a night out or any occasion. I just love it. So when I saw that the Florale version was in the discovery box I was excited to try it. I found this version of Prada candy is definitely not as sweet like the name it is more floral smelling & does remind me of a bouquet of flowers scent. But I have to say out of the rest of the fragrances in the box it is my favourite! It is such a light floral spring like smell. 

Miller Harris - Noix De Tubereuse
Miller Harris created Tubereuse to add to their collection of fragrances which are inspired by nature. To me this fragrance was quite strong & a bit harsh for myself personally to wear. It was quite a woody harsh kind of scent & I much prefer the softer scents. So for me this wouldn't be something I'd buy for myself.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Aqua Celestia
This is the the third perfume from Francis. I have to say I quite like the smell of this one. It's a light fresh blossom kind of scent. Its definitely an everyday kind of perfume. 


Map Of The Heart - Red Heart v.3
This brand was founded by Sarah Blair & Jeffrey Darling. 
This fragrance is another floral based one. It is a sweet aromatic scent of Pineapple Guava which is an exotic Brazilian fruit, along with apple, spices & with a hint of vanilla.

Jimmy Choo - L'eau
I think this one has to be my second favourite. The perfume definitely matches its chic glamourous character. It is a light fragrance of Hibiscus flower blended with bark & fruits. It is such a gorgeous smell & the actual bottle of full size version is enough to make you want it just for the bottle!

Weleda - Jardin De Vie Rose 
This perfume is most definitely from the floral fragrance. It has such a strong scent of rose to it I think. Which I have to say is a pretty pleasant smell. Its a delicate kind of fragrance & perfect for more of a day time wear perfume I think as opposed to night time wear. I think it would be such a lovely home scent too for like a diffuser or candle to burn in the home. 

The box also comes with a book of perfume blotters for you to use when perfume shopping & to try these ones out with. You can write the names of the fragrances you try on them so you don't forget what one you have. You simply spray the perfume at the pointed end, wait a few minutes for the alcohol & top notes to subside then smell. The heart notes & base notes are the scents you are left with & what you enjoy wearing. So if you like the smell at this stage then try it on your skin. That way you can get a better idea of it on you.

I found the box such a great way to try out new perfumes & found out what I like & don't like in perfumes. So you can find new perfumes for you to buy without having to buy the full bottles & also I have several small handbag sized perfumes to carry around in my handbag at all times. I really did not know something so practical & easy existed as a way to try perfumes.

So if like me you a huge perfume lover then definitely check them out. You can find more out about The Perfume Society, become a VIP subscriber, purchase a discovery box & many other things at:

These are a few of my favourite things

Good Evening Everyone, 
Well the weekend is nearly here! What a week it's been! 

I had a psychic reading done yesterday online. At first I was abit in two minds about it. I thought to myself if it's online they can have access to things that they can get information from & find the answers to the things they could bring up. But I felt I wanted to try it. To try & get some guidance, to try & get some comfort from the passing of my nana & my grandad mostly as he was on his own when he died & that was the worst thing knowing & because I felt like they were not around me anymore. But after my reading I can honestly say I truly believe in it! The things she brought up were things that cannot be found online, things that have never been spoken about & things people would not know. They both knew of my suffering & of my issues with people lately. It was so odd but at the same time comforting & I am so glad I did it. I will definitely be opting to have a face to face reading in the next few months to try that & see how that goes but wow. Anyone that has had questions like me, that is not 100% sure whether or not to believe it. Try it. Book with someone people you know recommend & I assure you like me you will be amazed! 

At moment I have a few things that I am loving! 

Book - Stay Strong (365 days a year) - Demi Lovato 
This book includes a daily quote for everyday of every month for the whole year. Each page gives you a little insight to Demi Lovato's struggles & issues but also wise words. It helps give a personal reflections & also goals for things to focus on. I myself am not like a huge Demi fan, I didn't get the book because she wrote it but for the fact that I wanted something I could relate to, that gave me a quote everyday & words that were food for thought. Something positive to help you through the day. Anyone that wants a book that you can read a page everyday for a year that gives you relevant quotes & advice on life this book is perfect. 

Jewellery - At the moment I am obsessed with chokers. I just love them! You can get so many different styles! You can get lace ones, cord ones, suede ones. There are so many different styles you can now find in the shops! My new one I am currently loving it the neck tie from Boohoo. This is more like one you have to wrap around several times but I just love it! If you watch towie you will see Chloe wears one a lot & so does Georgia! They are just super cute pieces to help complete an outfits look! 

Cleanser - Nu skin - Pure cleansing gel 

I got this cleanser around a month ago & I absolutely love it! You only have to use the smallest amount & it lathers up so well! You simply wet your face slightly after you have taken your make up off 

& add alittle to your face & neck & lather up. The cleanser helps to wash away any remaining make up on or in your skin & also washes away any dirt, oils etc. It leaves your skin feeling soft & clean! It's the best cleanser I have found in some time. I use it twice a 

day. Once first thing & then in the evening when getting ready for bed. It's definitely worth a try! If you want anymore details on it or nu skin products contact me & I can help point you in the right direction where to purchase them. 

Song - My favourite song currently that's kind of a tough one! Anyone that knows me knows I love music so so much! What with singing & things. But I would have to say my favourite two songs currently are: 

Treat you better - Shawn Mendes

Cold water - Major lazer feat Justin bieber 

These songs are just so catchy & the lyrics I can relate to them so much. Any song that can help get across what I'm feeling at that moment in time I love & for me these songs are so them! 

Perfume - That can also be a tricky one! I quite like a lot of fragrances! But for me at the moment I cannot get enough of Prada - Candy! It's such a sweet but summery scent it's perfect for this time of year! It's a lovely girlie scent not too overpowering & lasts on you for ages. If you haven't already try it. 

On another note I do have some news! I have been contacting companies recently with regards to working with them to help both my blog & also their businesses. I have a few things in the pipeline & offers so keep your eyes peeled! 

Take care, 

Love Lottie xox
