Dirty Flower Factory - House Of Kerosene
"Flowers spiked with grit, laying next to a disheveled bed and a pair of black Doc Martens. This is the Dirty Flower Factory machine, made up of jasmine, rose, orange blossom, spiced with pepper and grounded with musk and ambergris. A scent for those that don't want to smell pretty all the time."
"A Floral fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Dirty Flower Factory was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is John Pegg."
The fragrance features rose, jasmine, orange blossom, pink pepper, chili pepper, sandalwood, ambergris and musk. This goes very well with this season's fashion where editors are promoting a hippy summer full of music festivals and love-ins - interesting musty white floral tones with faint spice and white musk.
Urban Organic - A Perfume Organic
"A sweet lemon sorbet with bourbon, tangy lime peel, basil, and ginger. A daytime perfume, fresh and citrusy, lavender and grapefruit make the most delicious combination. Perfect for clearing the air during a walk in the city."
"The petite bottle and flower seed-embedded box can be planted and recycled as an effort to reduce wasteful packaging. Urban Organic was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Amanda Walker."
Citrus, fresh spicy, aromatic, green, woody.
Zingy and fresh - highlighting ginger and citrus, great for someone who wants a very natural fresh summer fragrance

Summer brings us even more olfactory challenges especially in an urban environment. Blossoming life breaking through the grey, bringing a much needed seasonal refreshment. Light and revelry allows us for a time, to forget the metallic taint of an encroaching metropolis.
Reverie - Tom Daxon
"Some fragrances take you back to familiar places; others can transport you to somewhere totally new. REVERIE is like that place in a dream, familiar yet somehow different. At first cool and dry it seems to shift to warm and rich in the same instant as recognizable parts form an abstract whole. Unusual and comforting."
"A paradox of contrasting sensation, like being lost in a dream. With shifting scenes and dissolving veils, REVERIE leads you through an exotic but familiar landscape of memory: cool and dry, then rich and warm. Intriguing but soothing. Herbal top notes of rosemary, ginger, elemi and artemisia develop into a heart of iris supported by oud, bezoin and amber accords."
Very herbal and cooling. Aromatic and green earthy tones sweetened by woods and creamy amber.

Saint Clement's - James Heeley
"Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clement’s"
"A traditional Eau de Cologne translated into a chic, contemporary, fresh, English Eau de Parfum whose name is taken from the rhyme ‘Oranges and Lemons’ (circa 1740) that refers to church bells within or close to the City of London. Oranges, lemons, bergamot, and neroli combine with notes of Earl Grey tea and vetiver to create a new English classic."
Bergamot, lemon, orange, mandarin, neroli, petit grain, Earl Grey tea, ylang-ylang and vetiver.
This is pure summertime. Orange exceeds the lemon initially but then its zest comes through. Earl grey tea note sharpened by vetiver blends beautifully. This is a classic no doubt but with a fresh modern twist.
