New in store this week, are five BEAUTIFUL British-made, gender-free fragrances by Laboratory Perfumes.
Allow time to saviour the testers in store because, take it from us, you’ll spend a while choosing which one to buy first.
Founded in 2011, Laboratory Perfumes’ vegetarian fragrances are scientifically formulated to react to the wearer and evolve over the day. Scents are inspired by the natural flowers, herbs and aromatic botanicals of Britain and beyond, inspiration coming from British woods, fields, moorlands, gardens, coasts and travel (France and Morrocco, plus there’s an exotic South American vanilla bean in the mix). And they smell AMAZING!
All LP products are:
- Made in UK labs using socially conscious, environmentally friendly, cruelty-free ingredients, free from paragons
- Compliant with the International Fragrance Association Standard
- Part of a transparent UK supply chain, using sustainably sourced and widely recycled packaging
- “Formed in accordance with the Hippocratic oath’s ancient pledge of medical ethical conduct: ‘first, do no harm’
- NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS
Here are the 5 eau de toilettes, £80 (100ml).
AMBER: warm, complex, rich and woody base of ambergris and grasses, mixed with spicy top notes.
GORSE: crisp citrus and smooth coconut and a heady wrap of spiced cardamom that “takes you to gorse-dotted holidays in the south of France”.
SAMPHIRE: spicy juniper berries, citrus oil and an intoxicating trio of lavender, rosemary and basil, plus verbena, white amber and oak moss, to evoke the fresh coastal air.
TONKA: earthy and sweet vanilla tonka bean meets spicy pink peppercorns, with zingy mandarin and woodland aromatics.
ATLAS: pipe tobacco and rum notes, laced with vanilla and hay, mixed with cinnamon, ginger and black pepper for spicy warmth, inspired by Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.
Honestly, it’s so tricky to choose between them. Maybe you’ll opt for the Lifestyle Set, featuring 5 x 5ml miniatures in a gift box, arriving with us soon along with our first order of Amber Cream luxurious body cream, the company’s celebration of 10 successful years in the business.
Oh, and they make candles, too (also coming soon!).
