Your choice of perfume is an extremely personal thing: like your home decor, your clothes and your accessories it is a heightened form of self-expression. The emotional and psychological effect it has on the wearer, your signature scent is even more finely balanced with your character. An extension of your energies that leave a lasting impression on all that you meet. A parfum becomes a vital part of yourself. It is literally your very essence, appearing to exude from your hair and pores emanating from your body. The Ancients perceived perfume: as a Divine Being manifesting on earth through, in and as the fumes of delicious fragrance. Needless to say, the remarks that follow do not pretend to be an infallible guide; besides, some personality traits will embrace more than one perfume type. But, judge for yourselves, for your friends and for your family. See if it makes sense for you all. Florals - For the light-hearted sociable types. Florals comprise the largest of perfume families: they are still the most popular style of fragrance. Floral fanciers are optimistic lovers of light and the colours of spring. They are open, sunny, warm and sociable. They have refined tastes and are often perfectionists, admiring delicacy, craftsmanship and dedication. Sensitive and modest, they usually tend to be uncomplicated and straightforward though suffering from moments of self-doubt. They love linen, cotton and fine wools. Floral lovers are often not overly involved with the paraphernalia of perfume lore: they are generally seeking a beautifully constructed classic which will be a credit to any occasion while smelling delicious. Favourite accords will typically be flowers such as magnolia, jasmine, cyclamen, iris, rose and lily of the valley. Orientals - For those full of sunshine. Lovers of Oriental scents are the shooting stars among us. These are flamboyant, romantic, passionate, sensual folk. Highly articulate, generous, extroverted and affectionate they have an enviable appetite for the everyday drama of life and all its pleasures. They love intense brilliantly coloured silks, satin and velvets worn with exotic jewellery. In perfume they look for notes such as fragrant woods, vanilla, incense, sweet tobacco, honey and tropical flowers. It’s interesting to note how many red heads go for the oriental type. True redheads usually need to avoid florals as those scents tend to "turn" on that exquisitely fair, sometimes rather dry skin. Fruity - Packed with personality? These jolly folks’ tastes may overlap to some extent with those of the Oriental-fanciers. They are exuberant, highly sexed, sensual, playful, good-humoured, eccentric, confident and adventurous. All their senses run on full throttle and they regard perfume in a peculiarly animal, full-blooded way. Scent moves them to laughter and sometimes to tears. They are tickled by the tricks and wit of fragrances bursting with notes of cream, chocolate, apricot, plum, peach, cognac and caramel. Citrus - For the bright, happy optimists. These are scents which are generally without a strongly defined gender: consequently, they are often picked by bright and breezy cheerful optimistic people not overly keen on broadcasting sex appeal in their fragrance. A man and a woman of the citrus type may well be happy to share a communal bottle. Citrus-lovers are looking for cleanness and freshness rather than eroticism and seductive mystery. They are happy, extrovert, pragmatic people. The Hesperidics are outdoor, sporty characters who love freedom and the outdoor life; preferring a crisply laundered t-shirt to Grande tenue.  They may perhaps choose haphazardly from one of the other categories for a more substantial fragrance when the situation absolutely demands it! Fougeres / Greens  - For the well dressed intellectuals. The Fougere perfumes of ferns, mosses, herbs and lavender speak of an inner mystery. Fougeres are often favoured by the deep, intense, analytical intellectual type. The Fougere people are often slim, slight and dark- eyed: soberly but carefully dressed and impeccably presented. Introverted, intellectual and pensive they linger long over choosing a fragrance. Focussed and thoughtful, they do things thoroughly and methodically. Fougeres rarely appeal to the very young; but rather to those with a thoughtful experience of the world who have discarded the more flamboyant scents of their salad daya Aquatics - Confident, smart, elegant. Aquatics are a much more recent family and maybe it is because of this that their wearers are less easy to define. Maybe, too, the aquatic people have personalities which reflect qualities of water. They are clear and transparent but at the same time elusive and hard to hold, difficult to resist; alternately raging like a torrent or still and cool as a limpid pool. The aquatic-lovers prefer fragrance that’s awake and alive, crisp and clean. They have some qualities akin to the citrus types; and surprisingly can also display traits akin to the chypre tribe. Frank, confident, direct and straightforward, aquatic wearers are also smart and elegant: she who wears an aquatic in the morning may well progress to a chypre by night. Yet, like the hesperidics, water inspired scents are seldom really sexy: that’s not really the point of them. If you struggle finding your signature scent that compliments your personality then we are only a message away. We can advise and there is always our £6 - 10ml rollerball as inexpensive way to experiment. As always be your 'scentsational selves'...

But we also wanted to focus on oily and acne prone skin too as I know it is troublesome for so many.

Yes, a wee bit stinky but we have masked it quite well with our concoction of pure essential oils. Neem is a potent ingredient that not only kills the bacteria living on our skin that causes acne but also has powerful anti inflammatory effects too. It is used as an analgesic in some countries. It also will help reduce scarring giving way to a more smooth complexion. India brand neem their 'pharmacy tree'. It is known to treat a vast array of ailments.

Making CBD butter and balms

Happy Monday (if there is such a thing) my lovelies ☕️ Our CBD Face Serums have not even been on sale a week and what a response we have had already!! One thing we have noticed, no matter your choice of all 3 and myself included - is how noticeably reduced your pores are. I've never seen my pores so tight. Especially around the nose area. While enjoying this phenomenon, here is the reasons why... CBD is essentially a non-comedogenic substance, meaning it prevents the occurrence of blackheads on your skin. As such, it has the potential to reduce the size of open pores by preventing debris, dirt, and bacteria from clogging them and stretching them out. CBD can greatly reduce the release of sebum by your skin’s sebaceous glands. This leads to a natural and gradual reduction in your pores’ size. CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. These properties can treat inflammation and swelling of your skin—something that can cause your pores to open up and become large in size. CBD is rich in antioxidants, which can increase the firmness of your skin and help your skin’s pores to stay taut for a longer period of time. This is the reason why a CBD-based anti-aging facial serum proves effective in reducing the signs of aging. The antioxidants present in CBD also helps your skin to heal significantly. They can stimulate the production of collagen in your skin, which, in turn, can boost the glow of your skin. Smaller pores for the win 🏆 Reconnecting your skin confidence again. The perfect act of self love and care ❤️

We are only weeks in to launching our range of butter and balms and already our customers are loving them. It has helped so many with various painful ailments. We have had them report back about their sleep being better too. Our customers are not just nourished and deeply moisturised but are happier too free of pain that was holding them back. Our whole range sold out fast the first few days of going on sale and that is what drove us to create our own CBD face serums next. More on those in another blog! Take a look at a fraction of the wonderful feed back received. Enjoy the weekend. Escentric ❤️
