Nothing quite sets the scene more perfectly than a Perfumed Candle for Christmas.
Candles being used at Christmas dates from the middle ages, where a large candle was used to represent the star of Bethlehem.
Jesus is sometimes called ‘the Light of the World’ by Christians, and the start of the custom of the Advent Crown and Advent Candles is associated with this.
Candles were also used during ancient winter solstice celebrations, as a way of remembering that spring would return and the trees would bloom again.
What ever your reason for lighting a Luxury Scented Candle this Christmas, PAIRFUM London has they perfect one for You x
Christmas Time, for us is the holiday to share with Friends and Family.
In other traditions their celebrations have already started, and Christmas is only a few short weeks away.
So it is time for the decorations to be taken down from the attic, for the old favourites to be put in pride of place and for some new ones to join the family.
Time to start writing the Letters to Santa, and for the adults to start our shopping lists for both Gifts, Food & Drink.
To start writing and posting cards and letters, especially to loved ones, that may not be spending the Holidays with you this year.
From a visit to a traditional Christmas market, to the switching on of the lights, perhaps a planned visit to a Panto or show.
It is such an important time of year and we have so many beautiful traditions, from Christmas Trees & Carols, to the opening of presents on Christmas morning, or the welcoming wreath on our Doors.
Everyone has their own unique way of celebrating Christmas or their seasonal Family Holidays.
However or where ever you plan to spend Christmas or your Special Holiday this Year, we here at PAIRFUM London wish you Health and Happiness xx
Sleep Sprays for a better nights rest – can they really help?
Why is it that when we most need to have a Good Nights Sleep – we are wide awake?
It has been scientifically proven that people who inhaled certain scents before and during sleep, experienced greater sleep efficiency, less restlessness during slumber, and an overall better quality of sleep.
There are a number of sleep disorders that people suffer with from Sleep Apnea, also spelled sleep Apnoea, to Insomnia, sleep deprivation, or restless legs syndrome… to name but a few. These can be very serious conditions that people need to seek medical help with. For others an inability to sleep can be cause by a number of factors – too much stress, mattress quality, room temperature, light quality, noise……
There are a number of Scents that can be used to help you relax and de-stress, and one of the best notes for this is Lavender.
Lavender oil is mainly composed of linalyl acetate and linalool, which are chemicals that are both rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Studies have shown that these compounds inhibit several neurotransmitters, and have a sedative and pain-relieving effect. In humans, lavender also lowers the heart rate and reduces anxiety leading to a more restful and calm nights sleep.
So with Christmas fast approaching and all the extra work that it brings along with it….
Giving someone you know the Gift of a – SLEEP SPRAYS FOR A BETTER NIGHTS REST – could be the ideal present…
What does it mean”A Rose by Any Other Name”
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” is a popular reference to William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival house of Montague.
Roses are widely considered one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and for good reason.
Rose Oil is one of the most expensive perfume ingredients in the World.
The reason for this is that it takes approximately 60,000 roses to produce 1 ounce of oil
As Perfumers we get asked interesting and sometimes strange questions from time to time, you may think that one of them is “Does Ice Have a Smell”?
Unusual it may be, but not as strange as you may first think.
Why would Ice have a smell? when it is simply water frozen into a solid state…
Well your next question should be does Water have a smell?
With Christmas fast approaching and all of the things that you have to worry about, I am sure that one of them is not does Ice have a smell..
However if you are planning to offer your guests drinks that contain Ice cubes, then it may not be such a daft question after all.
So in answer to the question “Does Ice Have a Smell”? the simple answer is Yes…..
Ice will trap and hold odours from its surroundings, and this applies to naturally formed or ‘Home Made Ice’. In the case of home made Ice that is normally formed and stored in our refrigerators along side food. Then it can and may capture the wonderful aroma of your Garlic Bread.
Just to be clear like most people we do not object to the heartwarming aroma of oven baked garlic bread, but I am sure that it would not be as welcome or enticing when added to a glass of ‘Scotch on the Rocks’.
So when making or storing Ice over the Holiday period or at any time, just take note of what you are storing next to it.
A good rule of thumb is to use your ice within 3 days after it’s made, having it sitting for any longer increases the risk of it catching odours from nearby food.
The fact that Ice does trap smells or odours is also exciting for us as Perfumers
As it allows you to infuse certain notes, and Nature does it all the time in Glaciers, Frozen lakes, Mountain passes or your garden puddle.
If you would like to test this out for yourself, then why not try adding a few drops of a favourite food essence to your nest batch of Ice cubes.
You could also experiment by adding, lemon, orange, lime peel or juice to your mix.
How about a herb or spice twist, just mix them in a jug or container and then pour into your Ice moulds…
The sky is the limit – but remember they are meant to be added to a drink and should be safe to ingest…
It could also be a fun and easy way to get the children involved in the preparations, and the worst that can happen is that they have an early and naturally perfumed cold bath….
At Homo Faber, the artist Lilla Tabasso exhibits glass flowers of astonishing realism.
The biologist turned artist, uses Murano glass to create her surprisingly realistic flowers.
The milan-based biologist-turned-designer mixes perfect and imperfect in her hyper-realistic murano glass flowers.
Using her knowledge of botany, her flowers show nature in all its wonderful detail and endearing imperfections.
Here at Pairfum London, we feel it is a pity that they are missing a fragrance.
They would make wonderful diffusers!
The artist Azuma Makoto contrasts wild roots with perfect blossoms in his ‘Undersurface Flower’ compositions.
Azuma is a Japanese flower artist who pioneered the genre of the ‘botanical sculpture’.
Here at Pairfum London we like how he draws attention to ‘roots’.
In perfumery, ‘roots’ are a frequently used source of natural fragrance ingredients that is regularly underestimated.
For example ‘Orris’, is a root that has a wonderful olfactive profile:
powdery, resembling violet, slightly stemy and woody.
More commonly known roots used for extracting essential oils are ‘Angelica’, ‘Ginger’ and ‘Vetiver’.
Have a look at the perfumes in the Pairfum Collection to see how we use ‘roots’ in our fragrances.
