I was lucky enough to spend the day with Simon on one of his Perfume Workshops at Cary’s Secret Garden. I now have a renewed appreciation of all these scents and they do smell different once you understand where the raw ingredients come from. There is a story behind each and every one. These scents will challenge you to rethink how you smell fragrance, it’s important to come to them with an open mind and not get caught up with how you think they should smell, for example, at first I didn’t care for Frank because it wasn’t what I expected from frankincense, but now it’s in my top 3. Saying that Bare was my favourite on first sniff and still is. This introduction set is a real treat for perfume lovers, but I would recommend joining one of the Perfume Workshops if you can to fully appreciate how special they all. By supporting this company you are also supporting communities around the world who are doing their bit to save our planet - surely a win win!
