Shy Mimosa - Home of Heavenly Scents

I was recently invited by Maria, owner of Shy Mimosa Perfumery in Clifton Village, to come along and experience the world of unique and niche perfumes and learn the stories behind each and every heavenly scented creation.  From the moment I walked in I knew I was in for a very special couple of hours.  As we started chatting it was clear that  both myself and Maria approached our work from a very similar point of view.  We discussed how clothes, shoes and accessories can make a huge difference in how we look and feel but often perfume is overlooked or not even thought about as the unique and final touch.  In response to this I asked Maria to write a blog post for me that would give you some hints on how to match your style with the right scent whether it's 'classic', 'effortless', 'edgy' or 'quirky'.  I hope you enjoy it and if you're looking for something truly special I highly recommend a visit to this oasis of aromas.

More often than not, we want to have the killer outfit that will represent who we really are, but have we thought to complement it with a perfume?  A fragrance that make us feel ourselves but at times to play a certain role, that of a lover, a busy mum or a boardroom boss.

Talking to Karen recently about style, made us think and I’ve picked a few perfumes from our curated collection of artisanal brands to match a few styles.

For a ‘’classic’’ look, I cannot help but reach for the collection by French brand Le Galion that oozes timeless glamour.  Our ultimate choice will be ‘’Sortilege’’, which is a floral perfume, sensual and seductive that gently whispers ‘’timeless sophistication’’.

My choice for an ‘’effortless’’ look will be ‘’Cierge de Lune’’ by Aedes de Venustas.  An elixir of delicate sensuality, inspired by an orchid, which blooms at midnight, ones a year.  This is not just a perfume but a liquid poem dedicated to hidden beauty.

For those with an ‘’edgy’’ look, my choice is a raw but chic, leathery and refined perfume ‘’B683’’, which is the vision of Marc-Antoine Barrois, a French Couturier, expressing his avant-garde style though exceptional fabrics and beautiful cuts.  A subtle refinement with an edgy look.

For someone who enjoys a ‘’quirky’’ look I usually reach for any perfume from the brand Gri Gri, inspired by the ancient art of tattooing.  But don’t be alarmed, if you don’t have a tattoo, the perfume police won’t come for you!  The perfumes are unusual, quirky and utterly delectable.

And finally to finish off with a few tips on how to find the perfect perfume; choose with your emotions and not with your practical mind.  Always try it on your skin, and you will know if it is the one.

     I'm a lover of all things fashion, style and image related but more than that I believe passionately in the power of feeling good in your clothes.
    I'm also a mum to a teenage daughter who is taller than me with legs longer than mine and a dog whose curls are glossier and bouncier than mine!!
