If the prospect of receiving a bunch of uninspiring and wilting flowers hastily bought from the petrol station on Valentine's Day leaves you feeling disheartened, why not ask your dearly beloved for an altogether more fragrant and ethical gift this year? And if he doesn’t take the hint, you can always treat yourself to new Love Letter 100% Organic Solid Scent (£9.99).
Now Chris is a true romantic, my Valentines Day is a day when I get spoilt and pampered and he looks for unusual gifts a little outside the norm too.
This lovely gift would be such a present, I love its smallness in the palm of my hand, its well presented in a smart black box, the pink lettering complementing the day of love.
As I lift the lid, a warm scent of rose and jasmine fills my nose and its headier as I undo the tin, this is perfect to keep on me at all times, slipped into a coat pocket or in my bag.
This scent invokes memories of love and romance so if you receive from a loved one, or if you buy this for your sweetheart I believe they would be thrilled.
Its a solid scent I am sure it would suit the lady who loves a vintage style trinket.
As creator Skye Connelly explains:
“Solid scents are enjoying something of a renaissance now with discerning fragrance-lovers favouring the solid form over liquid with many, particularly allergy sufferers, finding the alcoholic undertones in most perfumes overpowering and irritating to skin. “
She adds
“I wanted to embrace ‘scent’ - not just fashion. Some perfumers believe the true essence of perfume is found within the essential oils and lost when mixed with alcohol. Our Love Letter Solid Scent is a timeless fragrance that is handmade and hand-blended in small batches using traditional production methods. The process takes over two weeks starting with the infusion of the essential oils to enable the deeper notes to develop before combining with cocoa butter and wax and allowing to solidify."
Love Letter 100% Organic Solid Scent is available now priced £9.99 (15ml) from The Natural Beauty Rooms and The Natural Store, Soak in Hastings, Plenty Provision in St. Leonards On Sea, Uniquely Organic in Hove, and online from The Green Grocery, The Green Apple, Ethical Community and Mollycoddles.
It is suitable for all women except if pregnant or breastfeeding due to the jasmine content.
Three other scents are available: Kismet (with sweet orange and Patchouli - inspired by Moroccan travels), Metro (a unisex scent with Lemongrass and Jasmine - ideal for the cosmopolitan metrosexual man) and The Girls (with Ylang Ylang, Vanilla and Cocoa - a fun scent for those full of joie de vivre!) all certified 100% organic by the OF&G.
