Scents and memories are one and the same, which is why I take the time to select my fragrances of choice with great care. More often than not, a fragrance will have the ability to open the pathway to past memorabilia and awaken the memories, thoughts and even the dreams of previous summers passed.
To me, popping on a scent each and every morning is like allowing a little piece of my personality to stand bravely on show, visible for all to see, without having to say a single word. If you’re a frequent visitor here on my little corner of the internet, you will have noticed how I adore the adaptation and synchronisation of the fragrances that I reach for during the ever-changing seasons of the year.
As we pass mid-July, my fragrance desires have evolved to the notes which allow me to re-live my past summers of visiting the Cotswolds the from the comfort of a little glass bottle resting on my dressing table. Have you ever wanted to just capture a memory and keep it in a little bottle forever? That is pretty much how I feel about the 1881 Cerruti perfume and my visits to the English countryside. Think warm summer days, picnic blankets, hazy evening walks, fields of sugary wild flowers, the scent of hot skin, velvety vanilla sun cream and the low hum of sun kissed earth.
fills my mind with nostalgia and washes over me like a wave of time. It is the fragrances we choose that tell the stories of our lives. So, I've always considered my fragrances choice to be pretty fundamental. Even though 2020 wasn’t the year that any of us planned, it is as real as the others that have gone before, so it’s important to make the most of what we have. Want my advice? Make memories in the haze and allow this summer to count for a time of self re-connection.
