REAWAKEN YOUR SENSES WITH CITRUS SUMMER SCENTS

ADD ZING TO SKIN

Did you know that orange extract softens, refreshes and renews the skin’s radiance? Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is a spa-fresh facial exfoliator with orange extract which rids the skin of make-up, embedded impurities and reveals, polished skin beneath while offering an intoxicating aroma. We all know Vitamin C is a wonder ingredient that prevents and repairs the visible signs of premature skin aging and that's why Sunday Riley has created their C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream which will provide your skin with the nourishment it needs whilst bringing a shot of colour to your dressing table with its bright orange jar. And as the days get warmer Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Hydrating Face Mist will cool and revive as it works detoxifying lemon and Vitamin E to soothe stressed and sensitive skin.

GO FOR A CITRUS CLEANSE

Kick start your day with some beautiful scents worthy of your favourite spa. Anam from Irish brand The Handmade Soap Co. works a gorgeous and unique mix of essential oils from tangerine, lemon myrtle and cardamom and can be used as a dry skin body oil. We think there is nothing better than indulging in citrus scents in the bathroom Aesop’s Body Cleanser works a joyful blend of lemon and grapefruit and a twist of jasmine which is always welcome in warm weather. Finish your at-home spa experience with Jo Malone London’s decadent and bestselling Grapefruit Body Crème which is blended with the world’s most precious ingredients, jasmine, patchouli, vetiver.

NOURISH WITH ESSENTIAL OILS

Hand creams are a must these days and also a great way of lifting your spirits during the day when you choose something with an exhilarating scent. We love Irish brand Oxmantown’s Skincare Citrus Hand Care Kit which uses citrus essential oils to revitalise you while also looking after your hands. Atelier Cologne Bergamot Soleil Hand Cream is quite literally sunshine in a tube, filled with a high concentration of elegant citrus oils that the brand are known for. While the Limited Edition Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Hand Lotion has beautiful limited edition packaging and notes of orange, bergamot and mandarin, making you feel like you have just walked into a courtyard of orange trees after every wash.

REFRESH WITH FRAGRANCE

Inspired by an endless summer BYREDO’S Sundaze has top notes of mandarin and Californian lemon for a scent which is like being enwrapped in a sunny daydream. Just like biting into a juicy peach TOM FORD’s Bitter Peach Eau de Parfum captivates the senses with its rich and refreshing texture and works an intoxicating pêche de vigne with Sicilian blood orange oil. The new Escentic Molecules Molecule + Mandarin fragrance is described in all its super juicing glory by its founder Geza Schroen. “Mandarin is all about the instant hit. It’s so alive, the way it radiates off the skin with that citrus zestiness. But there’s more to mandarin, it’s very fruity and aromatic as well. It’s a beautiful ingredient. Its transparency means that it vanishes quickly. I’ve touched it up with a little extra shading to extend it, adding a mandarin ingredient used in flavourings to give it super-juiciness.” While bitter orange gets an update with the Maison Lancôme Oranges Bigarades Cologne which is a fresh scent blended from two distinct notes: bitter orange essence and rich Ceylon black tea.

REINVIGORATE YOUR HOME

Bring a summery warmth to your home with La Bougie's Sage & Bitter Orange Diffuser, it is filled with a layered, fresh and unique blended perfume, incorporating the blossom, wood and fruit of the orange tree into something designed to lift and brighten up its surroundings. Or why not try Rathbornes 1488 Sweet Orange and Blooms a soothing blend of energising citrus aromas worked beautifully with relaxing lavender.
