There seems to be a real lack of imagination in the UK when it comes to choosing a signature scent. In fact it seems we much prefer to jump from scent to scent to scent. I'm guilty of this too, and own a staggering amount of barely used bottles of perfume ranging from delicate roses to dark moody scents.
The scent I would like to introduce you to today is of the latter variety. I discovered Shalimar eau Initiale eau de toilette by Guerlain quite by chance, whilst on a shopping trip with my mom and sister. I'm one of those people that gets fragrance headaches from some scents, so I have to choose carefully. Now I'm not going to lie, I'm a sucker for a bit of kitsch 80's throwback nostalgia. One spray of this sensual, exotic, yet somehow light concoction, and I was enveloped in a cloud of heavenly lushness. Now if you are like Luna and like gentle florals , step away from the Shalimar. This is a slightly different version of the 80;s classic ( ask your mom or grandma ), and it is not for the faint hearted. I urge you to step out of your fragrance comfort zone and try something new, a little unusual , dare i say it a little more adventurous and grown up. So for now this has become my signature scent. We cant all go around smelling of Marc Jacobs Daisy for much longer can we. Love from Lark xox
