Lola By Marc Jacobs

Casually strolling through Selfridges I noticed a bizzare looking perfume bottle with an oversized, swirly top and a simplistic bottle. I was then attacked by a spritzer girl that insisted that I try this potion of floral notes. The perfume in question is of course the amazing Lola by Marc Jacobs that grips you with it's bottle before winning you over with the delicate scent. That's what I like about Marc's perfumes: they're very clean. No matter what combination of ingredients go into making the scent they always come out delicate and sophisticated, never over-powering. That was certnly the case with Daisy and now Lola is proving to be a brilliant follow up from the brand.

The outfit here was inspired by the quirky design of the bottle and also the beautiful floral nature of the perfume. The image is taken from the advertising campaign featuring Karlie Kloss.

My Scents

Scents play an important part in getting dressed and creating a look since scents have the ability to set the tone: a spritz of something rosy may inspire you to be romantic with your outfit or an edgy scent can add a different dimension to a simlistic look. It comes across as strange to talk about a scent as part of an outfit because it is not visible but it can make you feel good when you don't think you look it. Scents also have the ability to take you back to a particular place in your memory be it a holiday or a great party, it can remind you of people, places and emotion therefore to me perfume will always play a big part in my wardrobe.
