When I was little I was obsessed with Britney Spears and my mum walked into my room one day and I was spraying the cat with Fantasy by Britney Spears.
The first time I fell in love I was wearing Balenciaga perfume and when I go back home and see the bottle, the colour and the scent reminds me of that magical young love.
His smell on my pillow.
My wife proposed to me in our garden filled with sweet peas. It was such a beautiful moment. Before I “came out” as gay to my family we would send each other bouquets of flowers as a secret message to show how much we loved each other. Flowers remind me of love and strength.
The smell of white roses, my grandfather used to grow flowers in his garden and name the flowers after his grandchildren. So when ever I came home I would be able to go and smell “Alexandra” my personal rose.
Making fragrance from my mother’s rose bushes when I was a child – I had so much fun with my friends picking the petals and bottling the fragrance to sell to our family, friends, and neighbours!
Miss Dior cherie…reminds me of my wedding day. Whenever i smell that scent amazing memories come flooding back!
My boyfriend, on our first Valentine’s, he bought me Gucci Perfume now he is my husband and the smell reminds me of our dating days
One of my earliest scent memories is from my boyhood, when we’d buy a quarter pound of traditional mint Bullseye sweets from the village shop. Back in those days they’d always use peppermint oil grown and made in England, which was much purer and stronger than the oil used in most confectionery today. It’s taken us over 20 years to grow, harvest and distill that same high quality peppermint on our Hampshire farm. Walking through those fields in the late summer, the smell of our Black Mitcham peppermint is quite incredible. It was this that inspired us to invite perfumer Ruth Mastenbroek to create a signature Summerdown lemongrass and mint fragrance for our natural body, bath & home range.
