The Library of Fragrance

I was lucky enough to have been sent some perfumes by The Library of Fragrance to test out and review. I personally love wearing different fragrances whether that be in a body spray form or a perfume, I also enjoy trying out new scents and brands to find one that I really love. So when The Library of Fragrance got in touch - I just couldn't resist!

I got sent 4 fragrances; Cherry Blossom, Daisy, Rain and Grass. I got sent these fragrances as the Director of the company, Clare, thought they would suit me best and that I would like them.

 I have split up my review into key topics as I find it easier to get straight to the point and to make sure I don't miss anything out!

My first topic is packaging! I think packaging can make or break a product, it can either entice you to buy, or make you choose something else. I think this is especially true with perfumes as you are more likely to display the bottles on your dressing table at home. The Library of Fragrance definitely entices you in with their packaging! The bottle itself is rectangular and slim, making it easy to carry around in your handbag! The label on the front of the bottle is clear and easy to read, getting straight to the point with all the information you need to know as a customer. It is very cute and simple, proving that sometimes less is more!

My second topic, probably most important, the scent! All the scents that I got given, all smell exactly as they are supposed too, for example, when I smelt the Daisy perfume, it smelt identical to the Daisies that grow in my garden. Some of the scents last longer on your skin compared to others so you might have to top up throughout the day to make the scent stronger. However, I don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing as most people top up their fragrances during the day anyway. There is such a vast range of fragrances to choose from, varying from the typical perfume scents such as Cherry Blossom and Coconut to the more unusual such as Baby Powder and Apple Pie. You can get some of your favourite everyday smells such as Mountain Air in your own personal bottle of happiness. I am very intrigued as too what Thunderstorm smells like so I might have to go and buy one! All the perfumes are single scents which gives you the opportunity to wear more than one fragrance at a time, I think this idea is very unique and gives you the chance to express yourself in a way you usually couldn't with any other perfume. I have worn all of my perfumes as single scents but I probably would not wear Grass again on its own as I find it a bit too strong. I have also tried layering my fragrances together and one of my favourites is too layer Cherry Blossom, Daisy and Rain together as it is very sweet, fruity and floral - the perfect representation of summer!

I really like the idea behind The Library of Fragrance and how they aim to connect everyday smells to a special memory which in turn makes you a lot happier when wearing the perfume. One of my favourite everyday smells is freshly cut grass, it makes me think of summer. Combine that with rain, and it makes me think about my many camping trips with my family, when English weather was being its normal self and raining, ruining the camping but adding extra fun!

The perfumes are sold in Boots stores across the Uk at £15 each or 2 for £25, or you can view their full range on their website: http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/collections/all

I highly recommend this product, as the fragrances are perfect for any occasion. There are so many fragrances to choose from, you will certainly find one best suited for you!
