Olivine Atelier, Full Regalia
Phases and moments of my life are punctuated with different scents – each evocative of a specific time, moment, or memory. Scent is an incredibly powerful tool to define us – take a moment to think of people who are special to you and the scent you recall. For me, I am very conscious of…

Confetti
Oh hi, I’m still here…I’m sorry it’s been a year since my last post!!! As you may well know, the last year has been one of the most tumultuous on record in recent millenia. I have spent this time raising my now very active, bustling toddler whilst maneuvering through a pandemic, planning a cross country…

Harvey Prince Perfumes
My first introduction to Harvey Prince Perfumes came several years ago: I received a small rollerball of Hello, a bright cheery citrus based fragrance. This was long before my clean beauty journey began. Little did I know, we’d meet again. I received the perfume Sincerely. It’s described as ‘The scent that transports you’. Oh girl,…

Heretic Parfums: Dirty Jasmine & Pistil Whip
What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘heretic’? In non-religious jargon, it can simply mean “to go against the norm”. Heretic Parfums does exactly that by using the purest of ingredients that are 100% natural. No synthetics, parabens, or harsh chemicals. This is a brand that maintains the original heart of perfumery…

Ellis Brooklyn Myth Perfume
Ellis Brooklyn Myth*: my newest obsession. Why hadn’t I ever seen or heard of this brand before??? The full-sized bottles were elegant; the gold lettering jumping off the matte black label, a heavy-looking black cap adorning the top. A quick scan of the page led me to the name Bee Shapiro, the creator of Ellis…
