At least in the UK … I’m not asking too many questions, I’m just going to enjoy the designation of March 5-11 as National Fragrance Week, with its own website and everything! (The reason I know this one’s really for Brits is that it is supposed to be the week right before Mother’s Day next Sunday, and ours in the US isn’t until May).
So what does one do for National Fragrance Week? If you’re one of several English blogs about fragrance, you give things away! I Scent You A Day is giving away Avon fragrances, one targeted at men and one at women. It’s only for UK readers, though, so read rules carefully.
I feel as if I should join in the celebrations, even from across the Atlantic, so maybe I’ll review several UK fragrances this week. I’ll start by reposting this, about one of my favorite Penhaligon’s scents, especially fitting as the daffodils are in full bloom right now in my city: Fragrance Friday: Ostara. Penhaligon’s is a favorite brand of mine and VERY British. I also like Jo Malone scents, although they’re now owned by Estee Lauder, and the actual Jo Malone’s new line, Jo Loves.
Happy National Fragrance Week! How will you celebrate, in the UK or elsewhere?

Any chance to celebrate my favorite topic is a good thing, so even though I’m not in the U.K., I’ll join the occasion and wear perfumes from the U.K. brands at least a couple of times during this week.

I think, Ormonde Jayne is my most favorite brand. Today I’m wearing Tolu. I think, I’ll also wear Penhaligon’s and Jo Loves. I do not consider Jo Malone as a U.K. brand any longer but could wear it as well is I run out of brands to wear.

Good suggestion, I have an Ormonde Jayne discovery set and the scents are gorgeous. Have you tried any of Papillon Perfumery’s scents? I have samples of some and a cherished bottle of Dryad.

I did try them but unfortunately they didn’t work for me. I plan to test them again though and, who knows, I might change my mind.
