Take A Vacation to Istanbul with Lokum Colognes

blogimagelokum If there is one thing we really can’t get enough of here at The Amazing Blog, its perfumes and colognes. It could possibly be that there are just so many great scents out there in the world of fragrance, and it could also be that we just love trying new ones and searching for that signature scent. A new company we became aware of is Lokum Istanbul, and we were lucky enough to get to try out two of their colognes.

 

Zeynep Keyman, the brand’s creator wanted to unveil a collection of Eau de Colognes that were all ‘reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire’.  We received the travel size colognes Gardens of Babylon, which is a rich jasmine scent just like walking past a jasmine bush, and Mediterranean Sun, which has a sweet orange fragrance. They are crafted from the highest quality plants, and the bottle is sleek in design. Whether you choose spice or zest, these are sure to be a wonderful addition to any fragrance collection. Also, they are perfect to carry in a bag as they are travel sized at 50 ml. The smells are potent, but lovely. Quite pure in origin, they smell exactly as described and last quite a while on the skin. Lokum Istanbul also offers a range of non travel sized colognes that have more blended scents, but I think these travel sizes are perfect for summer with their pure nature.

 

If you are interested in an exotic fragrance destination to Turkey, you can purchase the Lokum Istanbul Cologne on their website and also at the Bluebird shop on Kings Road. The travel sizes retail at £11.00 for 50 ml and the full 200 ml sizes at £28.00 each.

Orli Candles

Here at The Amazing Blog we love multi-tasking beauty products, so when we stumbled upon the Orli Massage Candles we were absolutely sold. These candles products double as a beautifully fragranced candle and melt into a luxurious and moisturising massage oil. The Orli Massage Candles are perfect as body moisturisers, warm body massage oils, or as a rich lotion, perfect for manicures and pedicures! You can even use it dry as a body balm. We especially love the Scottish Raspberry & Black Pepper candle, the scent lingers on your skin for hours. The handmade mix of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Vitamin E leaves your skin soft and smooth. They couldn’t be easier to use either, you simply light the candle, enjoy the fragrance, and wait for the wax to melt into a pool of warm oil. Then wait a few seconds for it to cool, and pour out the warm oil to use! The delicious candle has notes of orange, vanilla, rosemary and jasmine, blended perfectly to scent the room and your skin. We also love that they use 100% natural ingredients, so you can be sure that your skin is getting the best ingredients. Their massive range is sure to have a scent that suits you, with casual and relaxing combinations, they’re the ultimate pampering treat for your skin!

So be sure to pick up one or more of these deliciously fragranced and relaxing candles from here.
