My mum and dad have always worn each other’s perfumes irrespective of whether the bottle said Pour Femme or Pour Homme. Growing up, dad frequently smelt of Estee Lauder Pleasures and you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in the same room as an old, effeminate uncle after one of mum’s dousing sessions with a bottle of dad’s Pour Un Homme by Caron.
This gender bending clearly went on to influence my own smell preferences because as a teenager I wore CK be, Ralph Lauren Polo Sport and Issey Miyake for men as well as a bunch of “female” perfumes, so I’m really glad to see more fragrances doing away with the gender tag, leaving us to naturally discover what we like.
Heres what I’m wearing and washing with at the moment …

Skandinavisk.com Obviously I don’t wear scented wax on my skin but I wanted to include this Danish scented candle company because they’re new to the UK and all the smells are delicious!! Each ones pays homage to a different aspect of nordic life (so Scandi) This cosy smell – Hygge – has echoes of tea, baked strawberry cake, rose petals and wild mint.
