Library Fragrances Mountain Air Cologne
Friday, April 03, 2015
The Library of Fragrance is one of my current favourite fragrance brands, not only do they releases very unique, exquisite fragrances but the prices are so reasonable. I have reviewed three of their fragrances previously including: fireplace, lavender (which I have sadly used up) and dark chocolate, click here to check out the review.
Today I am sharing my thoughts on one of their newer releases which I am quite excited about! I have the *The Library of Fragrance Mountain Air Cologne (£15, 30ml) which I think is perfect for this time of the year. As always the bottles are quite simple and a little plain, I wish they looked a bit more interesting but the fragrance and low price point more than makes up for it.
In the UK spring has just sprung but it is still quite chilly, grey and gloomy (in Manchester it always is!) so this fragrance is perfect, in my opinion. To me the fragrance is a mixture of crisp woods, fresh water and the seaside; there is definitely a mountain pine scent but it also smells incredibly fresh, light and spring like as well. I think this scent is definitely unisex as overall it is fairly masculine but not so much so than women couldn't wear it.
One point I love about the library fragrances, as well as the scent range and price, is the spray dispenser - it sprays such a fine mist! Also I find this fragrance lasts a little bit longer on me than the fireplace, lavender and dark chocolate scents but the longevity overall isn't amazing as the fragrances are colognes rather than an eau de parfum or even an eau de toilette.
Overall, I love the fresh, almost masculine woodsy fragrance and I think a lot of people would love it too. The price is amazing and Boots usually have a 2 for £25 offer on The Library of Fragrance range they stock so it is even more affordable. I would definitely recommend this scent! Here are just some of the fragrances that are on my never ending wish list:
Have you heard about what is happening on The Library of Fragrance social media? On unplanned sundays they are going to choose a follower at random who will win one of their colognes (of the winners choosing). How generous is that! Make sure you follow them on Twitter and Instagram (LibraryofFragUK) and on Facebook (The Library of Fragrance UK).
Have you tried any colognes from The Library of Fragrance?

Unique Christmas Gifts Ft. Library Fragrances
Monday, December 15, 2014
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months you will know that Library Fragrances have taken the beauty world by storm with their...unusual fragrance scents such as dirt, playdoh, snow, pure soap, sunshine, black pepper and more! I have my eye on quite a few more! I was kindly sent two fragrances to review and I won the Fireplace scent in a blog giveaway.
Firstly, my overall favourite fragrance of the three which is the *The Library Of Fragrance Lavender Cologne Spray (£15, 30ml). I have loved the scent of lavender for years, it just reminds me of summer sunshine and it is so relaxing. The perfume is a gorgeous lavender scent although it is a perfume lavender scent rather than pure natural lavender, in my opinion. However, the scent is still heavenly, relaxing and calming. The scent longevity isn't amazing, it lasts for a maximum of around 5 hours on me but the fragrance is a lot cheaper than most currently on the market. Also it is a cologne which are less concentrated so you would expect then to be lighter and have less staying power. For more information on colognes, click here.
Next up, the *The Library Of Fragrance Dark Chocolate Cologne (£15, 30ml) which as the name would suggest is a gorgeous deep, rich dark chocolate scent! The scent is quite creamy though rather than being bitter. The combination of the dark chocolate and lavender colognes sprayed one after the other is just gorgeous; I wouldn't have ever thought that lavender and dark chocolate would be made into fragrances, never mind them smelling heavenly together but they do! Again the longevity isn't fantastic, it lasts for around 4/5 hours on me but it may last longer on others.
Last but not least is the fragrance that I won in a blog giveaway a month or two ago which was my first choice of fragrances to try from this brand. It is The Library Of Fragrance Fireplace Cologne (£15, 30ml) which I have to say is one of the more unusual scents available from The Library Of Fragrance. I didn't know what to expect with this fragrance but it is surprisingly gorgeous, in my opinion, my dad disagrees! To me the fragrance smells almost exactly like the Yankee Candle Witches Brew Halloween Tea Lights - musky and mysterious. It is what I imagine Hogwarts to smell like (yes, I am a bit of a harry potter nerd). The Fireplace and Dark Chocolate fragrances make an unusual but interesting combination too. Fireplace is one of the most gorgeous and unique fragrances I have in my collection.
Overall, I am so impressed with the fragrances, I don't know how they manage to capture a scent and the imagination so perfectly - especially with the Dark Chocolate and Fireplace colognes! Yes, the longevity isn't amazing but the price and unusual scent range is. I would definitely recommend Library Fragrances! They can be purchased from The Library Of Fragrance website and some are available from Boots stores and the Boots website. I also think they would be fantastic, unusual and unexpected christmas gifts that are sure to get everyone talking! I love how interchangeable the fragrances are, the Fireplace and Lavender colognes make a really nice combination I have just discovered, like sweet smoky liquorice!
The Library Of Fragrance have just launched a range of four limited edition christmas fragrances - Eggnog, Cranberry, Christmas Bouquet and Christmas in New York, the latter I need in my life. Stat. These four fragrances are cheaper than the regular range as they are only £9.99 each! Bargain!
