Complement Your Health: Fragrance Experience

10 years ago Alison at Complement Your Health created a wedding scent for me. Perfumes I loved back then were Angel, Angel Innocence, Dior Addict, Jo Malone Grapefruit Cologne and Issey Miyake - some of these still make it onto my dressing table today!

My wedding perfume consisted of top notes of Citrus, Green and Fruity, middle notes of gentle floral with a musky base.

Alison invited me back to see if I'd create a similar perfume* or to see if my tastes have now changed.

You can book for an individual one-to-one which is a real luxe experience (£80 - link) or buy a voucher to attend a group session - see more info here. I've done both the individual sessions and the group session - both are a lot of fun!





What happens next is that you get to smell all 18 perfume notes which are designed by Francois Robert, Master Perfumer at the Perfume Studio. The idea is you smell and decide if you love, hate or are unsure. The coffee beans are great to clear your nose in between.

Alison will help to guide you to create your perfect scent. Perfumes I listed as currently loving were Shay & Blue Watermelons, TARDES by Carner and Tom Ford Santal Blush.


The notes which I ended up loving were - Top: Citrus, Middle: Fresh Floral, Rose Floral and Spicy with Base notes: of Woody, Balsamic and Amber. After some deliberation and elimination the perfume I created had no top notes and is comprised of:

Rose (double amount) (M), Fresh Floral (M), Spicy (M) with Amber (B). It really is a stunning scent and contains notes I really love. I think you will see my tastes have changed since 2005!



And here is the finished result!

September: Lately I've Been Loving

We had a great time at Let's Eat Glasgow at the beginning of the month. It was a new event this year and was brilliant! Loved the choices from all the restaurants - we sampled lots! Fingers crossed it runs again next year.

Yum! Delicious food from Ox and Finch

Gorgeous local Origin Honey at Plan Bee Ltd

Scrumptious choccies from Stacy Hannah Chocolates



Attending Alison's book launch party was amazing! Was really great to meet her. Check out her book here - it's a great read. It was also a real pleasure to meet Lin Anderson.


It's been an absolute joy to try out the beautiful range* Amanda has created for Harris Distillery. See my thoughts HERE.


I enjoyed an incredible Oskia facial* at Aspen Therapies at the beginning of the month. See my review HERE. It was one of the best facials I've ever had. Looking forward to going back soon!



I especially love this Ted Baker notebook for taking down blog notes. So pretty!


Alison at Complement Your Health invited me along to create my own perfume* (I visited Alison 10 years ago to create a wedding scent). So it was exciting to go back and see if I still liked the same type of scent. Expect a full post on my experience next week!

What have you been loving this month?
