I named my fragrance "TIME" because this is what scent means to me.  Fragrance is so evocative it can transport you immediately to any time, any place in your life. I always wanted to capture this sense...this time in a bottle...past, present and future.

Personally I have always been very sensitive to scents - they can shape my mood and stir long dormant memories.  When I had the chance to create my own fragrance I fully embraced the opportunity.  It's a passion of mine.  I have always collected fragrances - oils, candles, incense, perfumes and I love to use scents to set a scene or conjure a mood.  I love pine and cinnamon as they whisk me back to childhood Christmases.  If ever I have a hectic day, I love bathing in relaxing lavender.  I travel with my own blends and the first thing I do when I arrive anywhere is burn some of my favourite incense to make me feel at home.  I spent a long time defining the scents I love and why, while experimenting with combinations, blends and mixes.

I knew I didn’t want anything too heavy, too sweet or too fruity. My ideal was a fragrance that was sexy – but shy! A fragrance that made me feel happy,  warm and hopeful.  It had to be modern – but with a familiarity too. To achieve this, I combined smells that reminded me of the sixties - patchouli and a light musk - with scents from other, more recent times in my life – uplifting bergamot, an exotic spicy fragrance  and an unusual, addictive pink pepper from Peru that is said to elicit a happy feeling.  I added fresh lemon and warm jasmine to recreate the feeling of sun-kissed sexiness and freedom one enjoys on holiday.  For me these scents blended together are time captured in a bottle.
