Kate Middleton wore White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum

Thanks Grant, that sounds absolutely gorgeous! My nose would be twitching even if it wasn't Kate's chosen perfume. Oh lord, now l'm considering yet another blind buy. Somebody stop me!

Those a-holes want £50 to ship to the US! That's almost as much as it costs. It sounds like a certain company does not like America. :P

I think that labelling anyone as being 'people who ultimately are of no consequence' is actually a lot sadder than taking in an interest in what perfume someone wears on their wedding day, whoever they may be.

Who exactly would you define as being 'people of consequence', about whom you might deem it acceptable to be curious about their choice of fragrance?

you brits are simply bonkers...your holding yourself a "pet royal family" who's only purpose is to burn through your tax money, just to desperatly trying to hold on to some long lost glory while your country is falling apart... sooner or later it will be time to drop the fanzy fairy tale act and face the truth head on... or as obama said - we dont have anymore time for this nonsense

I LOVE weddings! Esp those involving royalty, more so than celebrities. As fragrance lovers, having a healthy curiosity about perfumes selected for momentous occasions is simply par for the course! I'm surprised to see a BNer lifting a finger to post a protest... And please, do leave the politics at the door for once.

I always knew perfume is a political issue.

I still prefer to think that he (yes, HE) wore vintage Diorissimo and she wore Muscs Koublai Khan.

Until I see this company's name appearing on this list I am not holding my breath!

At 120 pounds to ship to America, I would write them off as an "Illuminati" plot - but then I checked out their full line-up.

Wild Tobacco

Take a look at the notes on this sucker. It really sounds like something that might please those of us who love Miller-Harris Feuilles de Tabac.

Oh, the pain....... We really do need to get somebody's nose on this whole line.....

Want to sniff out the line myself now.

Although it doesn't axtually "matter" to me, or Grant either I'd wager, this is a fragrance forum and the original post is really about fragrance- so it's hardly a surprising post. That doesn't mean because I read this article that I am "obsessing about people who ultimately are of no consequence" It's all in good fun (part of a healthy and balanced real life)

The UK taxpayer pays 67p to the Royal Family each year which is a small price when you consider that over £1 billion extra has been spent in london in the last three days and the event itself will generate 15-20 billion extra for the economy.

I'm disappointed in the choice and the mishmash of described notes (gardenia, ylang, jasmine and amber do not sound nuanced and delicate to me)....wasn't the original information that she was going to wear something else kind of hokey and demanding-sounding ("so?...kiss me now", something odd like that?). Perhaps I expected her to wear bespoke or ... some scent that's a little more special. I really don't know what I'm trying to say. Oh, well, to each her own! I wish them a long and happy life together! After all, I'm really not the one who has to tolerate her perfume!

Thank you for the information!

Totally uninteresting to me. I not interest in trying this I don't do gardenia.

Thanks Grant - unfortunately, as much as I like the new Duchess of Cambridge - I'm not too interested in her fragrance choices. I'm an old grumpy pot.

Do we know yet what William wore?

I can`t wait to try it out...Capricorns know a lot about of senses and pleasures...

Am impressed...!!!

From a fashion point of view, I think it's fascinating that she chose something so cutting-edge. Wearing white - of course. But the ink is barely dry in this line, and the line seems all about modernity. I find that to be an interesting personal choice for such a traditional occasion. It's very refreshing, honestly.

I agree with Emlynevermore that the choices of fellow BNers are of more immediate interest to those of us who hang around here. Diamondflame's wedding fragrance is likely to be the big question on everybody's mind. Still, quite frankly, I'm fascinated by anybody's honest choice in fragrance. Wedding day fragrances are really the final answer to the age-old "what are you going to wear?" question.

One can be uninterested in Kate Middleton's perfume choices without going below the belt , being rude and knocking the Royal Family . It's too personal and uncalled for IMHO.
I'm in agreement with Teardop and Ratfink . The ceremony was very moving and both William and Kate are fresh ,appealing young royals .
I won't hesitate to say I shed afew tears when Jerusalem ( the hymn ) was sung at St. Paul's during the wedding.

Yes but in relation to his birth certificate - what's that got to do with the Royal Family?

Anyway back on topic...

I did not even know the wedding took place yesterday until I saw this thread.

Congratulations to them both, I hope they are very happy together.

But frankly, I am more interested in the wedding day scents of BN members than that of the new Duchess of Cambridge.

Come on Guys...We are lucky to have had such a Beautiful display of Love and Tradition for such a long time...

Some of us in the UK, got the day off as well which was a Great Bonus...

Am not British but live in the UK; I cannot tell you how proud I was yesterday to be part of British society...it was a day in my lifetime to remember...

Love and Peace...
