The Library of Fragrance collection has over 300 unique fragrances, of which 101 of these are available in the UK via their own website plus a selection of favourites available exclusively at Boots. A few months ago I reviewed the Jasmine Scent which I just loved, so the opportunity to try two further scents was something I jumped at.
The two scents are Baby Powder (Female) and Thunderstorm (Male) and they arrived in these amazing tubed bottles.
As soon as a I spritzed Baby Powder the first thought to hit my mind was Johnson and Johnsons Baby Powder, which I absolutely love the scent of and honestly, it is an exact replica of that scent. The science behind the scent states that some people find the aroma to be calming and I absolutely do agree with it, whether it is due to the emotions it is evokes or memories it brings to life, as a scent it is just lovely and it lasts for a good 5-6 hours on the skin once applied.
Thunderstorm which is for the men is quite an earthy scent which is said to capture the electricity and raindrops of a summer storm. On the very first spritz, the first thing that sprung to mind was wet grass during the rain and then as it began to settle, it reminded me of the smell you get just before a storm begins, as the rain starts to fall and that first clap of thunder rumbles in the sky. Then once the scent has settled, the smell in the air that is left after the storm is what I can then sense from this scent, it is truly amazing. Whilst possibly not a scent I can see my other half wanting to wear, what I do love to do is use it for is to clear the air in a room after it has been quite stifling hot, the scent for me brings about a coolness in the air.
The Library of Fragrance is for me just fascinating, if ever you are in your local Boots store and havent tried one of these scents, then do, seriously, they are just so clever and they smell so good. They have really opened my eyes to trying some a little bit new, a little bit quirky and I am so intrigued by how some of those scents smell, I feel the need to spritz them all, just to check!
The perfumes have no artificial colours, binders, emulsifiers and are phthalates and paraben free. The alcohol used in the scents is naturally fermented from corn.

Have you tried any colognes from The Library of Fragrance? What's your favourites?

I haven't tried any of these. I'm not much a perfume fan for myself as I am allergic to a lot of scents. Mild fruity ones are OK with me, but anything out I can't breath! Nice to know that these perfumes have no artificial colors, binders and are paraben free. I get asked this a lot, so I will refer this post to those asking...
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard of these, but I love the idea!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of these before but they sound good.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of these until now but they sound like they are worth a go x
ReplyDeleteThese sound fantastic i love perfumes and scents and i am slightly obsessive .. these i will be looking into
ReplyDeleteI've not seen these before but I love the sound of the baby powder one - one of my fave scents ever!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of these fragrances but the baby powder one sounds gorgeous.
ReplyDeletenot heard of these ones yet, thanks for sharing though will take a peak
ReplyDeleteI was smelling all these in Boots the other day - there were a few I loved, just go to decide which one to by now!
ReplyDeleteI love these, what a brilliant idea and I really like the way you can match fragrances to your mood, or if you need to feel calm etc. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them but I am tempted to try baby powder as it sounds really lovely
ReplyDeleteI am loving the names and the packaging. Quite unique for fragrances.
ReplyDeleteOooh i bet the baby powder one is lovely x
