Changing seasons bring with them scented wants and desires that vary as we move from one to the next. Winter is traditionally ambers and spiced citruses, spring demands the first hint of glorious greens, summer radiates solar florals, and autumn relaxes into comforting woods. However, where two seasons join is the exciting period because there’s an overlap that produces incredible choices and exciting variations. We’re now centrally in spring but, with summer on the horizon, the scent of green aquatic florals is the perfect fit. That means it’s the perfect time to discover the new Dancing Light candle from Told London.
The way that we apply fragrance, and use fragrance, has always been a subject that has divided perfume fans. However, this idea that a true “perfume” is something that is spritzed out of a bottle, rather than something that is contained within a product, has been hotly challenged over the past decade. Scented face care has built on Nivea and Estee Lauder foundations, shower gels transcended the famous offerings from Molton Brown, and perfumed candles have left Jo Malone London in the shade. The newest release to take scent into a new sphere is C.Atherley, and their stunning Geranium No.4 collection.
Every country has their own particular phrases that truly embody the spirit of the inhabitants. The United Kingdom is abundant with them, but the two that instantly spring to mind are “Would you like a cup of tea?” and “It’s about time”. The former is the British answer to whatever catastrophe might occur, while the second is our sarcastic side-eye comment after having to wait for absolutely anything. So it’s wonderfully appropriate that, after what seems like the longest and wettest winter, we can finally welcome the arrival of spring with the gloriously aromatic About Thyme from Lizzie Brooks and Thursday Fragrance.
