Who doesn’t love indulging in a choccy (or 10) over Easter? As if we really needed an excuse to enjoy copious amounts of chocolate, but we’ll take it! Speaking of chocolate and Easter, we thought we’d have a little bit of fragrant match-maker fun and ask -what’s your Easter egg personality style? And of course, is it even Easter if we don’t match that back to a deliciously gourmand fragrance..
Classic nostalgia
You love Cadbury bunnies, plain hollow egg, solid eggs – just all those festively foiled classics!
Your scent has to be the one, the only Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods, or maybe Silky Woods Elixir depending on how decadent you like it. This fragrance smells rich and delicious with oud and vanilla as the stars of the show. It creates a soft and smooth silkiness (perfectly named!) like the perfect piece of milk chocolate melting in your mouth.
“Silky Woods has a complexity and intensity to it that is just intoxicating. It smells like vanilla beans nestled in the folds of an old suede jacket, forgotten in an old barn after a rendezvous with a lover on a warm sunny day.”
The big kid at heart
You love things that are filled with EVEN more treats – think the Humpty Dumpty eggs, Kinder Surprise.
Your scent is Juliette has a Gun Mmmm, the perfect marshmallow-ey sweet and fun deliciousness. This fragrance feels (and smells) like a fluffy bite of your favourite sugary treat with an earthy depth in the base that cons this scent like a chocolate-y shell of yumminess.
“A wonderful gourmand fragrance that has an earthy depth to also ensure it is refined while provoking immediate pleasure and more often that not, causing the person smelling it to murmur the gentle and involuntary ‘mmmm’ (this always happens in store, much to the embarrassment of many customers!).”
You like a little more decadence
Dark chocolate. Keep things richer and a touch more intense, a less sweet option to pair with your morning coffee…or maybe late-night whiskey.
Your scent has to be Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser, a delicious vanilla-based scent that is balanced with smoky resins and boozy oak barrel notes. It’s giving sweet but with an after-dark kind of twist.
“On first whiff of this scent, you’re hit with warm, rich, sweet vanilla. As it begins to settle, the ambery, musky ambrette seeds make themselves known, which in turn beckon in the more resinous notes of myrrh and benzoin. The dry down is all about the woods – a marriage of creamy guaiac wood and almost dusty oak barrel, to be precise.”
Euro Vibes!
Only the finest for you – you love some Swiss chocolate. You like to stick to the best of the best and the Swiss Chocolatiers know what they are doing!
Your scent is Fragonard Diamant – a classic from this Iconic French fragrance house. Diamant has hints of fruitiness that meld into rich caramel, woody tones. It’s sweet, yet never sickly sweet – perfectly balanced like the finest fragrance are.
“Diamant is a dual, classic florals luxuriously combined with deep resins, caramel, fruits and spice giving it a rich and powerful, somewhat gourmand wear that packs a sophisticated punch of both silage and longevity.”
Purveyor of Speciality Artisan Chocolates
You love something personalised, and crafted with creativity. Nothing standard here. You love your sweets crafted by artisan chocolatiers.
Your scent needs to feel completely and utterly unique, therefore it has to be Mistpouffer from Stora Skuggan. This fragrance depicts an unexplained sound over a body of water. What would that smell like? Think aquatic notes fused with fig, malt sugar and smoke. Obviously.
“This fragrance is addictively confusing. It’s a big-bang style cacophony of notes that somehow… just works. Natural and supernatural simultaneously, it evokes visions of a thunderstorm over the sea, against the backdrop of an orange sunset. Mineralic and camphorous, yet sweet, Mistpouffer is a surreal scentscape that holds you in its thrall.”
Vegan
So we’re going dairy free but let’s make it yummy (anyone else have childhood carob memories?). The options today are many, and of course they are always modern and delicious.
Heretic Parfum’s newest release is the perfect fit; Midnight Toker has the gorgeous decadence of vegan chocolate with it’s rich vanilla note, plus the modern touch of sweet smoke from a clove cigarette to make this scent utterly intoxicating.
“Midnight Toker begins like the first taste of a clove cigarette when you’ve just put it in your mouth to light it – sweet and warmly spicy. For the briefest moment in the opening, you pick up the scent of caramelised dried apricots, which add just a touch of syrupy fruitiness to the fragrance.”
