Super Saturday Shopping: Roullier White

-
Having spent much of this year reporting on all the amazing things that are going on locally in all our wonderful independent shops, I decided to look a little closer to home. With the help our amazing colleagues- here's a look at what team Roullier White wants for Christmas

Dusty-May Fairweather - Product Consultant
I chose this beautiful Christmas Eve candle by Roullier White it has a magnificent, festive aroma that brings back lovely memories of this time of year; sugar and spice, and all things nice! I also love Roullier White's Clean Sheets candle, for my mum or dad they are fond of anything that smells like fresh cotton.
Jake Mills-Zivanovic - Assistant Buyer
I chose the Warm Dusk candle by Hunter London – A really alluring, warming, sweet and uplifting scent reminiscent of a fine English summer evening, taking me back to some of my most treasured memories, made in England and with a 60 hour burn time it’s amazing value and hits all the right buttons for me, I’d love to find this under the Christmas tree.
Roberta Cattaneo - Product Consultant
I chose this beautiful big mug for Christmas this year, being Italian I am an ardent coffee fan so this oversized mug is perfect for my 16oz black coffee every morning! Perfecto.
Lawrence Roullier White - Director
I chose the West Indian Grapefruit & Lime English bath salts which are a brilliant way to kick start your day in the right way, the scent is beautiful and energising, a perfect stocking filler for anybody this Christmas.
Lea Denis - Product Consultant
I chose La Dandy by Parfums d'Orsay, from my native France, it is very glamorous and sophisticated, a force to be reckoned with, the scent itself makes me feel empowered and confident, and proud about what I do day to day, a brilliant gift for any girl this Christmas.

Maxime Delbary - Business Development Associate
I chose the red wine tasting kit because I have a passion for fine red wines, especially coming from a big red wine making region of France. A lovely gift or house warming present.
Mila Tarin - Manager
I chose Psychedelique by Jovoy - is a beautiful, sensual and alluring fragrance I also love rose notes in a male scent as opposed to a female one, I would wear this everyday as it simply takes me to a very special place, number one on my list this year.
Ray Murphy - Web Content Editor and Social Media Manager
I chose the encourage local tea towel because I am a big fan of Matthew Mcguinness’ work and love the clean design and I am an ardent believer in shopping local and supporting local businesses. A perfect edition to your kitchen and is a brilliant stocking filler.
Richard Brown - Manager
I chose this cotton scarf by Simon Carter because it is stylish, practical and essential for these cold winter days.Made by hand in Scotland it really is a treat when you fluff it up around your neck and feel the cold simply reflected away, a great gift for Christmas and something I am definitely asking for.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou...
