Joyeuse Fêtes

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you are looking forward to welcoming in the New Year.

Just wanted to wish everyone a 'Joyeuse Fêtes' and to let you know that the store is closed until the 18th January, where the beautiful Anyes will be there to welcome you to the store. I will be in Paris taking you on a fragrance journey and keeping you updated with all the wonderful things I see and buy via this blog and my Facebook page.

A Little Christmas Sparkle

I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Shopping and pre Christmas Festivities. I love Christmas time and my store has been amazingly busy.

I hope everyone has a sparkly Christmas and you find something divine underneath the Christmas tree.

I have become addicted to 'pinterest' and these lovely pictures come courtesy of the very clever people on this site.

Happy Holidays!! and Best wishes to everyone this Festive Season

Christmas Wishes

I always get quite nostalgic this time of year - wishing the world would slow down a bit and taking some time to really enjoy what the Festive Season is all about.

As my thoughts turn towards my trip to Paris in early January, my wish is that the Christmas decorations are still up and it snows.....

What do you hope to find under the Christmas Tree?

A little Etro from Milano

Etro is an Italian Fashion icon based in Milan. Etro introduced its perfumes in 1989. Created by perfumeur Jacques Flori these perfumes are just delightful and the packaging is just fabulous. 100ml EDT $145.

A very stylish gift for under the Christmas Tree.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

New from Miller Harris is the delicious Tuberose body cream - a must for every girls Christmas stocking. Travel sets with Citron Citron - shower gel, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner - perfect!! Tangerine Vert has just been released as a candle - for all those citrus lovers!

Our little Christmas tree is decorated with vintage roman numerals - simple! Our newest offerings by Astier de Villatte - Books, pencils, perfumed erasers, Jerusalem candle, set of 3 ceramic candles (too cute) and the heavenly boxed incense.

Another view of our Astier de Villatte display.

The new fragrances by Miller Harris are truly divine - La Fumee and La Pluie - I love La Pluie as it is a wonderful exotic floral where La Fumee is warm and smoky. We have Miller Harris candle sets - one woody and one oriental and our favourite Fleur Oriental comes in a 615g version - the perfect hostess gift.

Just in for Christmas we have some hampers from Daylesford Provenders - full of goodies both sweet and savoury from all our favourite places - I love the rose petal jelly. Perfect as a gift for a family or that person who is difficult to buy for.

All your purchases are beautifully wrapped with our compliments ready to pop under the Christmas Tree. Don't forget our shopping nights on the 7th & 15th December.

Creed 1760

In 1760, in London, James Henry Creed founded the House of Creed. It rapidly became a favourite with the Court of England and Queen Victoria appointed Creed as an official supplier.

Shortly after the House of Creed was chosen by all the Royal courts of Europe; from Napoleon III, to Empress Eugenia, Francois-Joseph and Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary, and Queen Christina of Spain, Creed's creations were recognised for their quality, refinement and originality.

In 1854, under the direction of Empress Eugenia, the House of Creed moved to Paris and soon acquired notoriety. With a very selective clientele, Creed went on creating unique perfumes, masterpieces of creativity. More than two hundred exclusive perfumes, all original and hand-made, were created by the Creed family over the years.

Today the house of Creed is headed by Olivier Creed and his son Erwin.

We have 22 fragrances in store, so we are sure to include some of your favourites. We have also some of their divine candles just in time for Christmas.
