So it’s cold, wet and stormy, Christmas parties are history and hot sunny days seem light years away. We can’t even comfort eat thanks to those extra Christmas kilos and it’s dry January, so what to do?
We really need a hug. Yes, OK a literal hug from our nearest and dearest would be great too, but how about a self-indulgent hug? A little something to get us through January and February, labelled by some as the toughest months?
For my hug, I usually head straight to Perfume Direct. After all, a beautiful fragrance has the power to create instant happiness, not just for you, but everyone within range, so really I’m performing a public service. What’s great about Perfume Direct is the oodles of useful information and advice, so comprehensive that you can easily choose a new perfume even remotely. Do check out the Perfume Direct Guide to Fragrance Strengths and Types. Their Fragrance Wheel explains perfume types – Floral, Woody, Oriental etc – and you can even search Perfume Direct by your chosen type which is so useful if you’re looking for inspiration.
They’re a UK company, with a large purchasing network meaning that they can offer an amazing range of the best perfumes – from pure luxury to everyday fun, all at a very competitive price.
So what’s my top pick for this wet January? Well I’m super impressed by Musc Noir For Her By Narciso Rodriguez.
I could subject you to my description of this beautiful multi-layered scent, but I’ll spare you, as Perfume Direct’s experts have created their own, which is eminently more useful. They tell us that it’s floral and woody; a bold, creative fragrance with hints of mystery and intrigue; addictive with a dark and seductive essence. It’s a classic signature scent with top notes of plum, middle notes of musk and heliotrope, and suede base notes, enhanced by white cedar and rose. I really can’t improve on this description.
I particularly love the gift set, consisting of 50ml Eau de Parfum, 50ml Shower Gel and 50ml Body Lotion at just £65.99.
Or check out its sister, Musc Noir Rose By Narciso Rodriguez at £67.99for 50 ml EDP which is one of the new rose fragrances (see below), so popular on the catwalk this year.
