Bella Freud - Parfum and Candles

Hunting for a new signature perfume on the weekend at Mecca Cosmetica, I came across Bella Freud!  Oh my lordy, obsessed is an understatement for the way I feel about this new range. Available exclusively at Mecca Cosmetica in Australia, Bella Freud parfums and candles are from leading British fashion designer and award winning perfumer, Bella Freud and Azzi Glasser. The Bella Freud Eau de Parfum collection was launched in 2014 and has gained a cult following since - think Alexa Chung and Kate Moss.

The immediate stand outs for me were the Je T'aime Jane candle and parfum, an ultra feminine scent capturing Jasmine Night Flower, Queen of the Night Flower, Ylang Ylang and Orange Blossom. It has a romantic and seductive base accord of Black Oud, Sandalwood with a hint of Powder-Musk, making it completely intoxicating.  The Ginsberg is God candle is also sure to be popular in spring with it's fresh green scent, featuring fig, tomato and vine leaves.  Head to your nearest Mecca Cosmetica store and check it out!
