After enduring the wettest winter on record , we're certainly hoping for a sun-filled spring . And as the flora starts to emerge, so too will some of our favourite floral fragrances. For their March issue, the lovely people over at Slimming World put together a feature celebrating single-note floral fragrances . We were really pleased to see that they'd included Demeter's 'Gardenia' in the list of 'fresh, pure and beautiful' scents. Samples of Demeter 'Gardenia' start at just £2.00.

If you prefer cats to crustaceans , click here to check out the other adorable designs in the range.

Edgy cutting-edge LA fragrance house SMELL BENT arrives in the UK and brand creator, Brent Leonesio, has selected Roullier White for its exclusive launch.  The SMELL BENT collection is full of fun but is seriously good perfumery at its best.

Sure we are startled by a sudden sound, or jump at an unexpected moving object, but one whiff of a few fragrant molecules can whisk you away to another time and place entirely, stirring up all the long-forgotten associated emotions. Overcooked cabbage and floor wax fills me with the same sense of dread I had on the first day of a new term; whilst roses and lavender, bread and honey, tea and milk, remind me of sunny days spent in my grandmother’s garden with all my family close.  As animals we are hot wired to use scent in an informed manner, the smell of fire stopping us in our tracks, the aroma of approaching rain making us seek shelter, the promise of food drawing us closer, the prospect of love making us reckless; foolish risk takers with little thought of consequence.  It is hard to say if reactions to these scents are programmed into our psyche or acquired by associ...

We were delighted to see our very own Mrs White's Absolute Gentleman Moisturising Lotion appear in Departures Magazine 's winter issue, alongside some major US skincare brands. Handmade in the UK ,  Mrs White's Absolute Gentleman  is commended for its 'natural, organic ingredients' including patchouli, frankincense, rich apricot oil and raw English beeswax.
