Mineral Project: Indian Luxury Home Fragrance
If you’re reading this, you may have also encountered an advert for Mineral Project as I did in one of the UK’s many interiors magazines; for me, it was World of Interiors. The blue glass and contemporary branding immediately stood out on a page full of products, and the name of the fragrance ‘Moon Milk’…

Zara Home Black Vanilla Review: Two Decades On
The Zara Home Black Vanilla review that originally sat on this page was published on 16th February 2012; so almost a decade later and people still reading it!

This is the third installment of my long Easter weekend fragrance reviews. The other three in total are Michael Kors Extreme Night, Tommy Tropics by Tommy Hilfiger and Mizensir Eau de Gingembre .

NEW Cire Trudon Fragrance Matches for 2016
These aren’t a new product at all and have been around from my favourite home fragrance brand for a while; however, 3 scents have been added to this bizarre and innovative product range.

NEW Cyrnos Candle by Cire Trudon and La Promeneuse Wax Burner
Oooh, it’s always exciting when Cire Trudon release something new. I can safely say that Cire Trudon has ruined candles for me. I used to love finding weird candles here and there but honestly nothing compares to anything from Cire Trudon, from ultra-budget to super-luxury; all ruined! Nothing makes your house feel like these do –…
