It seems like almost every week there's a new fragrance in town but when I heard about the launch of a new brand l took note (get it?) The Library Of Fragrance officially launched in the UK this September but don't be fooled into thinking these guys are newbs to the fragrance world. The family company (always a winner with me) hails from America, where the scents are produced and they have a serious cult following.
Library Of Fragrance believe our noses are overwhelmed by the abundance of notes found in perfumes today so they're keeping it simple with single scents evocative of everyday memories - think Grass and Thunderstorm (yes really). When Peony* landed on my doorstep I was thrilled, let's just say the idea of smelling like my favourite flower appealed. On first sniff I'm reminded of parma violets but spritzed on my skin and it's something entirely different, while the scent remains sweet it's incredibly warming and dare I say, a little bit sensual. What I adore about the Peony fragrance (packaging aside, isn't she an apothecary beaut?) is there's no artificial-headache-inducing whiff that you sometimes find in scents, Peony just feels incredibly clean and frankly smells delicious.
With a staggering 101 scents available online and a selection of 28 favourites found in Boots you'd be crazy not to give a LOF scents a sniff, especially at the incredible price point of £15 each or two scents for £25 at Boots. Has there ever been a better time to find your signature scent?
Now the only question worth asking is, which scent should I try next?

*Peony was kindly sent to me for review, all thoughts and opinions my own.
My partner and I love perfume! He is totally crazy about them, he owns more than 300 while I have maybe a meagre 20 to boast :-)
ReplyDeleteNot heard of LOF before but will definitely watch out for them next time I'm in England. Their concept reminds me of the Monotheme series. Do you know them?
