#EscentualScents August Box: Aquatic Fragrances


With the pandemic, testing fragrances has become much harder.

There are a lot of barriers in the way and at Escentual, we want to make it so much easier for people to explore our range of fragrances. So, enter #EscentualScents – a monthly discovery box (curated by yours truly) that you can purchase to explore the world of fragrance. We are so excited!

August’s box – Aquatic – is now on sale.

This genre focuses on herbaceous notes and overlaps with the worlds of green and fougere, usually with a drier, more herbal vibe. I’m a big fan of the genre and you can find out all about it (and discover some beautiful aromatic scents) all over at Escentual. Click here to read.

On Escentual: What is a Warm Fragrance?

In my latest Escentual column I talk about the Warm fragrance family.
