*gifted by Bare & Bond for review - I dipped my toes into a Bare & Bond Perfume Subscription back in January (see HERE). I love the thought of a new perfume every month! Each month you'll received an 8.5ml bottle of EdP for £14.95, which includes p&p. It'll come in a beautifully designed letterbox friendly box (designed by a different artist each quarter). Oh, and over Bank Holiday weekend (this weekend) there's 25% off all single bottles - see more details HERE).
Isn't that box just gorgeous! This month it's designed by Karen David and was inspired by the perfumer and nose, Ruth Mastenbroek. As ever, upon opening the box it give great pleasure (it's the little things).
Inside is a thank you note from Frankee (which I think is a nice touch) along with a card about the nose and perfume plus one about the box designer too.
Ruth Mastenbroek is founder and nose of Ruth Mastenbroek Fragrances. She created perfumes for other brands before setting up on her own. All her perfumes are expertly crafted and hand poured in England. You can buy her perfumes online and instore at Fortnum & Masons and Fenwick of Bond Street.
Inside April's perfume subscription box is Ruth's stunning Signature scent which was the fragrance that launched her own micro-perfumery. "Its inspirations came from Ruth's own journey through life...discovering rose gardens in England, salty sea air in the Netherlands, flowers and oils in France, and the manicured zen gardens in Japan". Signature EdP is part of the CHYPRE family and can be dressed up or down, is suitable for any occasion day or night (Ruth suggests wearing it when you need to "channel your most confident, best self").
As a CHYPRE it's characterised by the 4 key pillars of bergamot, rose, patchouli and oakmoss which Ruth has combined with top notes of blackcurrant and pink peppercorn making it a classic CHYPRE with a twist!
It's an absolutely stunning floral scent with fruit notes and a spicy woody base.
Top: bergamot, pineapple, blackcurrant, pink peppercorn
Heart: Rose, Jasmine, Lily
Base: Patchouli, Oakmoss, Sandalwood
