Lumē
Experience
I ordered a number of deodorants from Lume over the years. I wanted to use something healthy, aluminum free and designed by a female doctor. I thought their ads were very funny and took the stigma out of odor. I also liked the fact that it could be used on your feet and other areas that were prone to sweating. For me, it never lasted the 24 or 48 hours it claimed and it was not for lack of application of product. I shower thoroughly every morning but by 5 pm its efficacy had worn off. I got tired of smelling my own BO. It made me embarrassed at social functions. One day I went on a hike with a friend, just after showering and I really stank. I was so embarrassed. For what they charge they are not that effective in banishing armpit odor and there are other products out there that are far more efficient. So I ended up giving up on Lume. Fortunately there are many other products (and deodorant sprays that are aluminium free) out there now and I am much happier.

The shipping charges are very high and there are no small sizes available if you wish to try a new scent other than ordering a whole bundle.
Carthusia
Experience
This is known as the smallest perfume laboratory in the world - it's called Carthusia, Latin for 'charterhouse' because the original recipe for the perfumes was developed by Carthusian monks on the island of Capri in 14th century. The perfumes are really exquisite and beautifully balanced - not overly girly or floral. If you are a fan of Santa Maria Novella, this is a step up in terms of formula, packaging and fragrance duration and pillage.

Love the gorgeous bottles emblazoned with the flower siren. Bought in a beautiful boutique in Rome with great service, so have not ordered online. They also sell beautiful scented candles, reed diffusers and soaps. Their website gives a lot of information as to their head, heart and base notes.
Partake
Experience
Their cookies are incredibly dry and tasteless. I tried the Chocolate chip and was not going to try other flavors after everyone in the household was not a fan
Solawave
Experience
Just started using it and love how it feels on the skin. The vibrating massage and the heat are very pleasant. Have not used it long enough to post before and after pictures but looking forward to the results.

Fast shipping. Got it during a buy one, get one free special so also bought a blue light wand for my teenager. Very nice packaging and very easy to use.
West Elm
Experience
Excellent quality products - a cut above CB2, with a beautiful aesthetic. Everything I have bought here has lasted through the years - from blankets to throw pillows, from stemware to furniture - and has always garnered plenty of compliments.

Experience
Lovely candles that burn clean and leave your home smelling fantastic
Trudon
Experience
Cire Trudon makes high end luxury candles that make your home smell like an elegant Parisian boutique hotel.
Diptyque
Experience
Diptyque makes the most exquisite fragrances and candles. Their ‘nose’ (perfumer) behind the perfumes blends the ingredients so originally resulting in unique, intoxicating, divine fragrances. Currently using Eau Moheli and it’s such a beautiful scent.
Le Labo
Experience
I found the Rose scent in it perfume and body lotion sickly sweet with a cloying base. Perfume is so personal but I was not a fan of this blend. For the price point I would expect it’s fragrances to be better designed.

A new ‘nose’ as parfumier

Excellent design and durability. Wonderful stainless steel trash can and other products to make life easier.
Feedback
The price point discourages customers sometimes which is a pity - the products are well made. Would be great if they were more accessible to the average customer.
