Marks & Spencer Apothecary Luxury Gift Set

The Marks & Spencer Apothecary Range is one I rave about a lot, I adore it and it is amazing value for money. I featured the Restore range here on my blog some time ago and since then I have gone on to try a few more pieces from the brand, which will appear on my blog soon. Today, I am sharing the Apothecary Gift Set which I have just bought because it is amazing value for money.
Marks & Spencer Apothecary Luxury Gift Set
The set features products scented from the Restore, Balance and Calm ranges, and all of the products included within the box are designed to help you unwind and hit the reset button. 

Contents

  • 3 x Candle (1 x Calm, 1 x Balance, 1 x Restore)
  • 3 x Reed Diffuser (1 x Calm, 1 x Balance, 1 x Restore)
  • 3 x Aroma Oils (1 x Calm, 1 x Balance, 1 x Restore)
  • 3 x Linen Spray (1 x Calm, 1 x Balance, 1 x Restore)
  • 1 x Pulse Point Oil (Calm)
  • 1 x Bath Salts (Calm)
  • 1 x Hand Wash (Calm)
  • 1 x Hand Lotion (Calm)
  • 1 x Headband
  • 1 x Eye Mask
What I love about this, aside from the inclusion of three candles and the three reed diffusers, is the inclusion of the aroma oils, something I use a lot of, especially whilst working from home. Aroma Oils within my diffuser are used to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere in an evening with oils which include lavender oils or jasmine, but I also oils which contain Peppermint and Spearmint to help clear my sinus'. 

If you know of someone who is in need of some time out and relaxation, then this box does contain everything from bath salts and room sprays to a headband and an eye mask. The box is priced at just £49.50 here* and it is an absolute bargain.

Giorgio Armani - My Way Eau de parfum

The newest release from Giorgio Armani is My Way, a Floral Fragrance for women which I have been wearing for some time now and it is one of those fragrances which captures your attention quite quickly.
Giorgio Armani - My Way Eau de parfum
This is my first fragrance from the Armani range for quite a few years and they never do fail to impressed. The description of My Way draws you in and captures your attention.
My Way is said to have been inspired by the genuine search for meaning and authenticity that lies outside oneself, ultimately creating a more profound way of being. Through the influence of serendipitous encounters and new experiences, one discovers one’s own multifaceted depths. Intimate yet universal, “I am what I live” encapsulates this ethos.
From the bottle to the cap and even the box, everything with this fragrance is recyclable and refillable - this really impressed me! The bottle comes with the most stunning blue stone cap which is wrapped around by a golden ring, this is supposed to be a talisman which is said to bring good fortune and luck.
Giorgio Armani - My Way Eau de parfum
The fragrance which sits within the floral family has top notes of Bergamot and Orange Blossom, so as you can expect, it does have that strong citrus scent and once which is immediately uplifting, the heart notes of Tuberose and Jasmine bring to life the floral side of the fragrance and as they intertwine with the citrus notes, they settle to work incredibly well together, toning down the sharpness of the citrus for that much softer side.  The base notes of Cedarwood, Vanilla and White Musks bring about a softer side to the rest of the notes and allows the floral heart notes through to settle on the skin.

I hadn't expected to like this fragrance because of the inclusion of vanilla, but instead I absolutely love it. The vanilla scent as a note isn't strong enough to dominate and overshadow everything else because of the cedarwood which creates an almost sweet base.  For me, the star of the show is the opening notes of Bergamot and Orange Blossom, that initial blast of citrus capturing your attention.  On the skin it impresses with its longevity and lasts for 5-6 hours before you could re-apply if you have somewhere to go of an evening, but even without re-application you can still just about get a sense of the fragrance later into the evening.

This fragrance is on sale with The Perfume shop in three sizes 30ml is £55, 50ml is £76 and then finally we have 90ml for £103.
