Shop Londons

Our Christmas ended up being thrown off a bit by our trip to Florida, so many of our gifts arrived into the new year.  One of my orders was from Shop Londons - a great resource for perfumes, soaps, etc., from London.  I needed new perfume, and I love Penhaligon's.  Their scents are complex but subtle.  Malabah has become my signature scent, but I also ordered a sample library to try out some of their new scents.  And I got this great detangling comb handmade by Kent.

Penhaligon's - Vaara

We enjoyed some shopping when we were in London this time around.  Regent Street is fabulous (and Jermyn Street, etc., etc.).  We visited a great Penhaligon's shop, and, as you can see, they had plenty of scents for us to sample.  I really liked the new scent, Vaara.  It was created for the Maharaja!

Malabah

Did everyone have a good long weekend?  We did.  Sunday was my birthday.  My husband ordered me a package of lovely beauty goods from Merz, including a bottle of Penhaligon's Malabah perfume.  So nice!

Penhaligon's Scent Library

We really love Penhaligon's perfume/cologne, so we picked up the scent library the last time we were downtown. It has 10 scents for men and women. My husband has the large size of Blenheim Bouquet - it smells fantastic. Of the ones that I've tried, I really like Lily & Spice - a beautiful floral scent.

Penhaligon's

One of the interesting places that we visited in Chicago was the Truefitt and Hill barbershop and store at the 900 Shops Mall on Michigan Avenue. Truefitt and Hill are the barbers to Prince Philip. In addition to their products, the store sells items from Caswell Massey and other brands. A new one that we discovered was Penhaligon's of London. We really liked the Blenheim Bouquet scent - especially since we visited Blenheim Palace in August. I also liked the Endymion scent - that was interesting if you remember that one of Keats' volumes of poetry was titled Endymion.
