Fragrance Description

Books and Flowers

Indulge in this luxurious scent that captures the essence of a perfect, self-care day—one spent treating yourself to books, flowers, and moments of quiet indulgence. This fragrance invites you to pause, take a breath, and bask in the beauty of the moment as you honour yourself with the purest form of love: self-care.

Top Notes: The fragrance opens with an alluring blend of roses and peonies, delicate and soft, instantly transporting you to a blooming flower market. It’s an invitation to take time for yourself, to slow down and savour the beauty of the world around you, as if you were picking out flowers just for you.
Heart Notes: The spiciness of cloves is gently warmed by the richness of amber, deepened by the sweet aromas of nuts and milk—like sipping a creamy coffee in your favourite bookstore. It’s a feeling of cosy comfort and quiet joy, a moment to enjoy the pleasure of being your own best company.
Base Notes: The smooth base of vanilla and praline evokes the feeling of treating yourself to something sweet and delightful. Lightened by the smoky touch of agarwood, it completes this fragrance with a soft, seductive allure—gentle, but with a hint of mystery. It's the final touch of indulgence; the soft reminder that you deserve to take time for yourself.

Lottie's Lit

The romance between Pip and Estella in Great Expectations is one of longing, transformation, and bittersweet desire. From the moment Pip first encounters Estella, he is captivated by her beauty and cold indifference, a fascination that becomes the driving force behind his aspirations to win her love. Estella, raised by the cynical Miss Havisham to break hearts, initially sees Pip as nothing more than a poor boy beneath her. Yet, their connection is undeniable; an inctricate dance of love, rejection, and self-discovery. What makes their love story so compelling is its evolution; Pip’s adoration of Estella pushes him to grow, to change, to chase after a dream of refinement and acceptance, while Estella, though seemingly impervious to love, is slowly shaped by the very heart she tries to harden. Their romance is not simply affection, but about transformation and the painful pursuit of something elusive and unattainable, it's a love built on a deep, almost unattainable longing, where neither character ever truly gets what they desire, but both are irrevocably altered by it.

A wonderfully haunting, complex love story that reminds us of the power of unwavering love and chasing your dreams. Who is in every line you read?

Made for readers who love the little things that make reading feel like home.

Too charming to melt? We thought so too, so why not enhance your order with a jute pouch of our botanical wax melts removing all guilt of melting your pretty ones too soon.

Don't forget to add a display stand to show off your bar while enjoying the scent for up to two weeks.
