Discover the scent of summer: Summer Rising
Do you long for warm, balmy summer days when gardens, fields and hedgerows are in full bloom and city parks are filled with evening picnickers? Here in the British Isles, the days when you can step out without a jumper, jacket or umbrella are few and far between, so we wanted to share some ideas for filling your home with summer fragrance whatever the weather.
Choose a Bath & Shower Gel fragrance that captures summer in a bottle
Often it’s the small things that bring us joy. James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, recommends making everyday habits pleasurable – and what better way to bring joy to the start of your day than a bath or shower using a fragrance that encapsulates the splendour of summer? Our Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel is a fresh, modern fragrance with zesty Citrus top notes mingled with Moss and freshly cut Grass to create a clean and enticing aroma.
Layer fragrance for lasting scent
A simple way to make your fragrance last is to choose a Bath & Shower Gel and Body Lotion with a matching fragrance.
Make an elderflower spritz
Olly Smith’s sham-pagne captures the fragrance and taste of summer in a drink that feels celebratory but without the alcohol. Simply mix 60ml lime cordial, 60ml elderflower cordial, 3 drops of orange-blossom water and 250ml ice-cold soda water and serve in a champagne flute or coupe. If it’s one of the few weeks that elderflowers are in bloom you can also top with a sprig of blossom.
Capture a special place or moment
Fragrance has the power to transport you instantly to a special time or place. So you can either pick a fragrance that brings back special memories or choose one that you want to link to a special event or occasion. If you are heading off on a holiday or adventure, why not choose a new fragrance to take with you? When you get home and want to recapture that special place all you have to do is take out your fragrance. You can use our bespoke travel-set creator here to choose three generous 75ml travel-friendly products in your chosen scents, ready-to-pack.
Scented linens
Breathe in the scent of summer each time you open a drawer, wardrobe or linen cupboard by tucking bars of scented soap between your clothes or linens. Our Orchard & Hedgerow Hard Soap collection contains five bars brimming with the scent of Summer Rising and Perry Pear.
Pop a scented Hand Sanitiser in you bag, car or pocket
Everyday essentials can still be special. The fragrance of Summer Rising Hand Sanitiser was inspired by Cornish Hedgerows in early summer, which at the first hint of sunshine erupt with a froth of scented elderflower blossom while gooseberries begin to colour and swell as they ripen. Our Hand Sanitisers are available in generous 300ml bottles, which are a chic but practical addition to your entrance, as well as handy 75ml bottles that can be popped in a pocket or bag.
Made in our own Cheshire factory, our Summer Rising collection contains a unique extract of British Gooseberries, which are rich in natural antioxidants, and Elderflower, known as the ‘people’s medicine chest’, sourced from Cornwall’s Lost Gardens of Heligan. You can discover the Summer Rising collection here.
