Become a Fragranceistas oy the world has changed this year and everyone is trying to adapt to the Covid B pandemic. So many people are working from home and they continue to wear their fragrance. I love starting the day with a spritz of my favourite fragrance! It

is interesting to see that fragrance sales continue to do well globally in spite of COVID-19.

AU THÉ BLANC Parfum Thé Blanc was launched in 2003 and is described as a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that is used and loved by men and women worldwide.

The pandemic given Fragranceistas the opportunity to try different scents at home without being told “You can’t wear fragrance at work”. A good fragrance continues to serve as an extension of our personality. Remember your right fragrance makes a statement that people are unlikely to forget.!

It is composed of fragments of white tea, blended with Jasmine, bergamot and amber. Have to say I prefer the White tea fragrance for daytime as I find the green tea fragrance is more suited for evening. During this pandemic we all need to take time and try to relax and destress. The Blvgari luxury spas are world famous and now you can experience them by using an At-Home set consisting of body lotions, shampoos, cologne, soaps, hair conditioners, and scented towels.

DIPTYQUE 60 TH ANNIVERSARY CANDLE COLLECTION The cool days are now approaching and what better way to experience them is by lighting the Exquisite Parisian Luxury Diptyque scented candles. The new Graphic collection was launched in January. The classic candles were updated with geometrical patterns and striped designs on the bottle. Every candle is fabulous but I absolutely love The Tuberose with its floral scent that is balanced with warmer musky notes. 8 OTTAWALIFE WINTER/SPRING 2021
