Jonathan Ward, London, New Candle Collection Arrives

Image
We love this time of year at Roullier White. Whilst many of you will have had your eyes on the catwalks we have had our noses in jars collating our Autumn / Winter candle collections. We think this year’s home fragrance selection is the most sensational ever. Our first curated candle collection to hit the shelves is from creative genius Jonathan Ward. Jonathan Ward’s candles have long been a favourite with Roullier White customers, this season we have cherry picked what we believe to be the most exquisite from his sumptuous collections and included a new fragrance that is so sublime mere words alone cannot do it justice. ‘Orange and Opium’ is wickedly addictive, indeed as I type I keep picking up the unlit candle for another hit. Presented in a stunning translucent sienna crystal jar Mr Ward has definitely done it again with this heavenly blend of four different orange oils, orange rind, saffron, cumin seed pepper and cardamom.

Ineke Rühland visits Roullier White

I have already mentioned that we would be having the privilege of meeting Ineke Rühland , the inspiring perfumer came to our store in East Dulwich yesterday, and it was a delight. Ineke is renowned within the perfume industry for her use of botanicals but I had no idea of the scale of her dedication.  Hearing or reading about a plant or flower, the scent of which might work in her  mind map of a new fragrance, Ineke will order the bulb or seed, grow the plant in her small garden in San Francisco and literally live with the scent before deciding whether or not it would work as an ingredient. Sitting with Ineke on a sunny Friday afternoon, we had the unique opportunity of being walked through her whole range of fragrances from A to G with a sneak preview of ‘H’ Hot House Flower, which launches at Roullier White in October. With each fragrance in turn Ineke gave us samples to smell of the key individual notes, explaining their provenance and the reason for their inclusion...

Smell de Jour; Chemical Bonding by Ineke

Image
Today I am wearing Chemical Bonding by Ineke. We are so excited to be meeting Ineke Rühland later today, the poetic perfumer from San Francisco, whose work with botanicals is legendary and unsurpassed. Ineke's Chemical Bonding is a citrus fragrance like no other, the top notes of five citrus oils of orange, mandarin, lemon, lime and bergamot with tea. The middle is an unusual full bodied, heirloom peony fragrance similar to a lemony rose. This is all built on a base of rich and warm amber and musk making it a citrus fragrance that really lasts. Chemical Bonding by Ineke is available in the UK from Roullier White
