Today we’re helping Nicola, who will be getting married in January and wants to find a perfect fragrance so she’ll always have a scent memory associated with the day. Because the weather will be cold and the setting (see below) grand, she’d like something rich and romantic, but she’d like to avoid the sorts of typical gourmands (no stewed fruits or chocolate notes, please) that might immediately spring to mind. Her budget is flexible but may not extend into the Amouage range. Here is what we know about Nicola:
She’s in her late 20s, and is a Ph.D. student at Durham University in the UK, researching Old Norse translations of medieval female saints’ lives.
She loves reading, opera, walks in the local countryside and travel to cities with beautiful architecture.
Because of her studies she speaks and reads several languages, including Icelandic and Latin, and she loves learning more — Welsh is next on her list.
She says her style is tailored and luxurious with an eclectic twist; she loves a cashmere sweater with a pencil skirt and tall hunting boots, matched with a Swedish army coat or a bunch of antique rings.
Her wedding will be in a small church in Durham, followed by a reception and ceilidh in the Great Hall of Durham Castle…
