The Potter & Moore line of scented products is one of the more intriguing and fanciful lines I have come across recently. Knowing very little about them or their fragrances, I purchased their Orange Blossom and Amber Scented Candle as part my newfound fascination with all things orange blossom (about which more next month).
Founded in 1749, this beauty line was established by two gentlemen, John Potter and William Moore, who were 'physic gardeners' with a speciality in lavender cultivation. That alone might have been enough to tempt me…
I love summer, with its early morning clear light that quickly turns hazy and warm. Golden hot sun bakes the patio and there is a constant buzz in the air from the bees making their rounds through vividly colored snapdragons, larkspur, day lilies and hollyhocks in the garden. The work pace slows down, water cooler breaks are more frequent, with perhaps even an afternoon espresso break allowed this time of year — a nod of thanks to our European friends across the pond.
