Get your skin summer-ready with scented treats

For the last couple of weeks the weather’s been all over the place – from sunshine to rain, wafty dresses to winter coats again, sometimes in a matter of minutes. However, we do know the time for baring limbs that have been swathed in layers looms large, and we’d like to indulge you with some of our favourite scented treats that can help prepare you…

In our Feel Good Box (our first collaboration with The Beauty Bible), we chose several award-winning and top-rated luxurious body products as extra treats to try alongside skincare and nerve-soothing must-haves AND a full-size Green & Blacks chocolate bar. We say: prep your skin, calm your spirit and indulge your senses all at once!

Molton Brown Rosa Absolute Sumptuous Bathing Oil
With notes of rose absolute, violet leaf, blackcurrant, raspberry, geranium, sandalwood and patchouli, infused with skin-silkifying oils of argan and Italian rose, this bathing elixir will veil your skin in a deep, velvety fragrance that clings to the body for a beautiful trail, as you emerge from the scented waters. This exquisite indulgence invites you to lie back and dream of rose bowers… And it happens to make the tedious task of shaving your legs a positive delight!

Percy & Read Heavenly Hydrating Body Wash
Breathe in refreshing top notes of citrus and apple, heart notes of lily of the valley and rose, and comforting base notes of cedar wood, amber and musk. This nourishing formula is blended with botanical extracts to help calm and soothe the skin. Honey extract and aloe vera, combined with glycerine and pro-vitamin B5, work to moisturise and nurture to leave skin feeling soft, hydrated and radiant.

Olverum Bath Oil
A unique and luxurious aromatic blend of essential oils which combine to ease stress and relax tension in both mind and body, bringing you back to your complete and natural self. Olverum Bath Oil is highly concentrated and only a teaspoon full (5ml) is needed per bath. Accordingly, virtually all the oil is absorbed by the skin leaving no greasy residue in the bath after use.

Temple Spa Peace Be Still Skin Calming Balm
A Gold Beauty Bible Award-winner in 2019, this sophisticated all-over balm deeply moisturises and softens, leaving skin silky to touch. It’s aromatherapy and skincare in one – with extracts of coriander, lemon, nutmeg, antioxidants and a fusion of relaxing Mediterranean essential oils and vitamin B5. A textured formula that sinks into the skin immediately, leaving it ultra-smooth and beautifully settled. Calming to skin, body and soul!

Try these with eight other fabulous fragranced products in the Feel Good Box, £19 (£15 for VIP Club members)

Skin Sense Overnight Leave On Mask
Sure, we should all use face-masks more often rather than hoping for instant perfection, but we’re human, we forget. This one can be slapped on and left overnight, a luxurious at-home treatment that transforms dull and lacklustre skin into a clearer and brighter complexion. Hyaluronic acid, hydrolysed proteins and synthetic polymers restore lost bounce to the skin – all with zero effort. Hurrah!

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream
Too many late nights and jugs of Pimms to get in the summer mood? Reach for this! An award-winning cream packed full of ingredients to refresh, awaken and lift even the most sensitive of eyes. There’s a large dose of hyaluronic acid to provide the eyes with a shot of moisture and help to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. Then, a blend of cucumber oil and witch hazel calms, brightens and works to reduce puffiness and inflammation.

Beautiful Blossoms: cast off your cardies and get petal powered. Has spring finally sprung…?!

An incredible scene of people venuring forth into the outside world without their coats or umbrellas has been revealed out and about around town these last couple of days. Shockingly, some Londoners were even seen smiling at strangers.
We know. We’re still reeling.
And the cause of this unexpected behaviour? Actual sunshine has been seen, warmth felt on skin, and buxom buds are bursting in to life around us. After what seems like the longest, greyest winter ever (even though it hasn’t actually been that bad, it’s felt soooo long – or is that just us?) it feels as though spring has sprung!
Oh the joy – the utter heady thrill – of casting off a scarf and popping to Pret in a cardie. (Yes, we know how to live here at TPS Towers!) It’s enough to make you feel like a hedonist. Or even like smiling. And with the change in weather, we’re rifling through our fragrance wardrobes and reaching for something lighter, brighter – to match our moods. May we suggest you join us…?
Beautiful Blossoms is a carefully curated and truly stunning Discovery Box of floral-themed scents for you to waft to your heart’s delight from the comfort of your own home – this petal-powered collection taps into our everlasting love of floral fragrances – giving you a chance to fully explore this perennially popular family in its myriad nuances…
Amidst an amazing array of fragrances to try at home (and try again – never go by your first spritz alone! These scents have been composed to develop over several hours on your skin, so give them time and let them settle…) you’ll also find our signature ‘Smelling Notes’, to help you explore the collection in greater depth, via your special blotters (also included).
PS: With Mother’s Day fast approaching, this could solve all your gift-giving dramas. You don’t need to know which fragrance they like or pay over the odds for a sadly battered bouquet!
Click here for full details or to order the box, which is currently exclusively priced to our VIP Subscribers at the VIP price of £12.50 (a great saving on the non-Subscriber price of £17.50)

I Scent You a Day honour The Perfume Society with Fellowship Award – follow a fragrant journey…

Dedicated fragrance blogger I Scent You a Day set herself the challenge of wearing a different perfume every single day of the year, without bankrupting herself by buying 365 differing bottles of scent! One of the ways she’s been able to follow this perfumed pilgramage, and write about it so entertainingly, is by regularly purchasing our Discovery Boxes of fragrance minis and samples – many of which are impossible to find elsewhere, and have led to a love for rising-stars of the niche world along with classics of the genre and even pre-launch sneak-previews.

We were absolutely thrilled to hear that in her round-up of ‘the very best of scents’ for 2016 – a.k.a The Iscents – The Perfume Society were honoured with a Fellowship Award!
Indeed, the Fellowship Award was specifically invented for us, because we ‘[defy] other categopries.’
As explained in the post describing the award categories and why the winners were chosen,  ‘Not only do they provide white boxes of treasure that even the most jaded perfume palate would salivate at, but they’re a sort of Mothership that  we can all turn to when we get a bit lost in the  murky depths of fruity-florals-chypres-colognes-my-nose-is-confused-help!  Ever had a day like that? I have. The Perfume Society Scented Letter magazine also makes me settle down with a contented sigh and think “I’ve found my tribe” as I read what other perfume obsessives are up to.  Fumeheads, you are not alone.’
SLMagCoversSmall-350x350Blushingly, we gratefully accept this award, and are so glad to have played a significant part in I Scent You a Day’s continuing fragrant journey… and hopefully, in yours!
