Lys Fume by Tom Ford, 2012
Reviewed by jtd

The name Lys Fume is only half correct. The lily is there, the smoke is not. No complaint, though. This is a handsome and well composed floriental. Lily is the centerpiece but other elements...

Oud Wood by Tom Ford, 2007
Reviewed by jtd

Oud tends to be the gorilla in the room in a fragrance that uses it as the principle note. Oud being both potent and distinctive, the challenge is how to make an oud-centric perfume fundamentally...

"A patchouli for people who don't like patchouli"- that's how one of the founders of Coquillete Paris presented Sumatera to me, at the last edition of Esxence. She also explained that the...

Laurhum by O'Driù, 2012
Reviewed by dvdlpznyc

To me, this seems to be a deconstruction and reconstruction of what I know as Rum. Rather than typical molasses and scummings, this seems to be liquor derived from the purest of sugarcane in...

Evening all

I have just found the site and am already hooked

Perfume and candles are my favourite things !

I love Partylite candles espcially the strawberry rhubarb and the relax unwind one. I also love the betty crocker strawberry shortcake which I can currently buy for 99p !! Had a minor hick up last year with hubby and my partylite stash, as I have never told him how expensive they are so when I went into hospital for a week I came home to find he had burnt my entire stash of gorgeous candles !!! am building my collection up again slowly lol

I burn Body shop mint cream home fragrance oil in my burners all day every day and spent £300 stocking up on it last year when I found 300 bottles of it after it had been discontinued

I look forward to chatting to you all

Sharon xx

Greetings betwitched Sharon- welcome to Basenotes. You sound perfect for this forum- obsessed with fragrance of any kind.
I love the story about your husband burning up your candle stash. At least he probably couldn't do the same thing with your perfume stash, eh?

See you around- burn those candles in good health!
