L’Occitane have released a new Eau de Toilette called Rose Jasmin and I’ve been wearing it for the past few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Rose is one of those scents that I find people either love or hate, for me if it is a fresh scent and by that I mean not manufactured to smell like Rose, then I love it.  Described as being a delicate, fresh and floral fragrance that is elegant and feminine, Rose Jasmin Eau de Toil ..read more

Grazia Parfum is the brands first entry into the world of fragrance, a section of the beauty world which is saturated with everything from the most expensive, the iconic, the dupe and of course new releases.
