Diptyque masterclass in fragrance

An evening held for 26, a nice round intimate number. Held in the Heritage Suite at Liberty a real special affair. Not really knowing what to expect after receiving a warm welcome and a glass if champagne settled me in nicely. The area manager conducting the evening teaching of all the wonderful ingredients and whimsical stories behind the fabulous French scents of Diptyque. I left with a real understanding of the concept behind the brand- this being for me family and exploring. Stories of grandmothers and their violets to stories of travelling on the orient express. A really very enjoyable evening, one of which has cemented my love and passion for the brand I have always loved. here are some snaps of the evening.

Introducing Volutes made from intense Iris and Tobacco- smells warm and wonderful. Smell enhanced with a iinspired by childhood memories of sailing from French port of Marseille to Saigon. Available in a smokey, spiced sweet laced EDT in the brands newly famous oval shaped bottles. Notice the festive blue vessel.

Tickets for the masterclass cost £35- of which was redeemable against any purchase Diptyque that day. I purchased L'Eau- an unforgettable spicy fragrance. All guests left with an exciting goodie bag!! can wait to go to the next one!!!

Funny Girl

It was until recently that i watched 'FUNNY GIRL' staring a young Barbara Steisand filmed in the late 60'. I LOVED it and all about it. The clothes, the humour, the sets and most of all watching Babs. here are some snaps of my favourite scene. A scene featuring the 'Ziegfeld Follies' and Babs character pulling a practical joke- appearing on stage with a fake bump. Not to be missed.
