British Beauty Blogger Review of Tipsy Social Blah Blah

-
Roullier White exclusive Smell Bent's sensational and very seasonal scent, Tipsy Social Blah Blah, reviewed by the British Beauty Blogger.
"Yes, you read it right! The new fragrance from Smell Bent is Tipsy Social Blah Blah – an amazing and tantalizing name for an amazing and tantalizing fragrance.

Imagine a night out with your best girlfriends, a cocktail of plum, rose and cedarwood – oh, and a dash of Merlot – all blended into a riot of fragrant notes with an edge of cocktails. In that imagining you have Tipsy Social Blah Blah. It’s inspired by the fun of a girls’ night out – when you’ve just edged over to that not-quite-drunk-but-definitely-feeling-it moment, where your inhibitions are less and your heels are more. Your mascara might just be begininning to smudge, everything is funny and you might be prepared to take a place at the Karaoke bar!

What I love about this brand is that creator of Smell Bent, Brent Leonisio, is entirely self taught, so he has no pretentions and makes fragrances that he loves and that are a bit silly but at the same time, smell good. I’m often so mystified by the fragrance world, but Smell Bent is refreshingly straightforward. Brent likes happy scents. Good, because so do I. Well, who doesn’t, now I think about it? Self-taught fragrancers tend to be very free with their thinking around perfume and notes – less keen to impress peers and more keen to impress consumers; I always take note of self-taught perfumers.
Anyway, if you’re in the mood for a little Tipsy Social Blah Blah, it’s £45 HERE."

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
