Diptyque Volutes: Wafting tendrils of scent with a story to satisfy the wanderlust in my soul

April 7, 2013 Paris B 17 Comments

diptyque volutes scent

Have you ever experienced a fragrance you’ve had to actually warm up to? One that you wrinkle up your nose at the first time you take a sniff but give it a few minutes and you feel like its the best thing you’ve worn all week? I was like that with Volutes.

Volutes was a new scent released by Diptyque late last year and its taken me a while to warm up to it, as you can tell. It is a rather interesting sort of scent, as is the name (which is a real word btw not made up 😛 ) ‘Volutes’ as a noun and adjective refers to a coil or the scroll-like swirls that adorn columns. It also refers to whorls, swirls and tendrils usually seen with burning incense or tobacco. Granted, the latter is not very popular these days, but it forms the back story for Diptyque’s Volutes fragrance.

The scent is inspired by a transatlantic journey taken by one of the 3 founders, Yves Coueslant from Marseilles to Saigon. There were exotic ports of call at Port Said, Djibouti and Singapore and Volutes draws inspiration from scents experienced during this journey – woodiness of panelled salons, spiciness of the exotic middle and far east, citrus notes of the mediterranean, floral notes of the exotic perfumes, and the distinct tobacco scent of cigarettes. All these meld into a heady, woody, spicy warm scent, evocative of an age of elegance and of exotic travels. It feeds the wanderlust in my soul and since I love travelling so much, the story appeals to me.

The scent however, took some time.

New! Clarins White Plus Total Luminescent and the newest BB Cream on the block: Clarins UV Plus BB Cream

April 5, 2013 Paris B 29 Comments

clarins white plus total luminescent bb cream

Over the years, I’ve heard so much about the Clarins White Plus line and their use of the sea lily to help with skin whitening/brightening. It seemed to have been the core of everything White Plus. Then, this year, I learnt the sea lily is so 2012. No more sea lilies in the Clarins White Plus range. Instead, they have upgraded the formula to not just whiten but to make skin look more luminous with, as they say Total Luminescent properties.

Our environment and lifestyle can cause the “micro mirrors” in our skin to fail so what the White Plus Total Luminescent range is supposed to do is polish up those mirrors so they reflect light better thereby helping skin look more luminous, translucent, fairer, brighter etc. You have to admit, they make it sound quite intriguing 😛

Out of curiousity, have you ever tried anything from the Clarins White Plus range?

Eve Lom Rescue Mask: Not just a clay mask and exfoliator but an emergency quick fix eye mask too!

April 4, 2013 Paris B 29 Comments

eve lom rescue mask

A while ago, I told you about the Eve Lom Cleanser and how its supposed to be the best cleanser in the world. Its not a bad product, but a bit fiddly. I love to carry it with me when I travel though because it works as an all in one makeup remover and cleanser and I like that ease of use when I’m on the road. At home, I prefer using separate products.

But we aren’t here to rehash the cleanser, but to talk about the Eve Lom Rescue Mask. This is another product I’ve tried when I picked up a trial kit once, and its a product that Eve Lom is known for. What it is, is a clay mask and I think opinions are a little divided on this one. Some people love it, some hate it but that’s how it goes with skincare. Can’t please everyone!

I think its a nice mask to use for weekly deep cleansing. I am always a little wary about using clay masks because I have dry skin but I’m happy to report that this one isn’t drying which is why I give it some props. Its a pricey little thing so what do I think of it?
