“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” is a popular reference to William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival house of Montague.
Roses are widely considered one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and for good reason.
Rose Oil is one of the most expensive perfume ingredients in the World.
The reason for this is that it takes approximately 60,000 roses to produce 1 ounce of oil
As Perfumers we get asked interesting and sometimes strange questions from time to time, you may think that one of them is “Does Ice Have a Smell”?
Unusual it may be, but not as strange as you may first think.
Why would Ice have a smell? when it is simply water frozen into a solid state…
Well your next question should be does Water have a smell?
With Christmas fast approaching and all of the things that you have to worry about, I am sure that one of them is not does Ice have a smell..
However if you are planning to offer your guests drinks that contain Ice cubes, then it may not be such a daft question after all.
So in answer to the question “Does Ice Have a Smell”? the simple answer is Yes…..
Ice will trap and hold odours from its surroundings, and this applies to naturally formed or ‘Home Made Ice’. In the case of home made Ice that is normally formed and stored in our refrigerators along side food. Then it can and may capture the wonderful aroma of your Garlic Bread.
Just to be clear like most people we do not object to the heartwarming aroma of oven baked garlic bread, but I am sure that it would not be as welcome or enticing when added to a glass of ‘Scotch on the Rocks’.
So when making or storing Ice over the Holiday period or at any time, just take note of what you are storing next to it.
A good rule of thumb is to use your ice within 3 days after it’s made, having it sitting for any longer increases the risk of it catching odours from nearby food.
The fact that Ice does trap smells or odours is also exciting for us as Perfumers
As it allows you to infuse certain notes, and Nature does it all the time in Glaciers, Frozen lakes, Mountain passes or your garden puddle.
If you would like to test this out for yourself, then why not try adding a few drops of a favourite food essence to your nest batch of Ice cubes.
You could also experiment by adding, lemon, orange, lime peel or juice to your mix.
How about a herb or spice twist, just mix them in a jug or container and then pour into your Ice moulds…
The sky is the limit – but remember they are meant to be added to a drink and should be safe to ingest…
It could also be a fun and easy way to get the children involved in the preparations, and the worst that can happen is that they have an early and naturally perfumed cold bath….
This beautiful residence is located in the southern part of Kythera ( Greece ) in the midst of dense Mediterranean vegetation with Olive Trees and tall, old Cypresses.
The home offers impressive panoramic views over the valley, a nearby Venetian castle and the sea.
Looking at the images of this house in its surroundings brings to life the Mediterranean fragrances of the region.
We love the wonderful fragrance of Cypress and Olive Trees here at Pairfum.
We offer two fragrances in the perfume collection that allow you to recreate these aromas in your home:
“Neroli & Olive”
“Cedar Noir” Pick your favourite and head over to our online boutique.
The golden Soria Moria sauna looks like a veritable feast for the senses.
This wonderful sauna is located on ‘Bandak Lake’ in Norway, 160km southwest of Oslo, in a picturesque mountainous landscape offering breathtaking views.
The shingles of the cladding shimmer like ‘gold’ in reference to a local, well-known Norwegian fairy tale about a golden palace in the mountains.
What intrigued us as perfumers about this project are the unusual sensorial experience this sauna offers:
the woody & herbal notes of the sauna itself,
the clean, fresh, fragrance filled mountain air of Norway, and
the watery aquatic notes of the lake
To create this wonderfully natural sensation in your home, we suggest our fragrance “SPA” and then select your favourite product in our online boutique.
Here at Pairfum London we don’t like the idea of ‘Robot Flowers’, as it feels ‘unnatural’ and we would expect them to lack ‘fragrance’.
And yet, we were intrigued by “Studio Drift’s” installation of a ‘hanging bouquet’ of robotic flowers that bloom, as you approach them.
18 mechanical flowers have been choreographed to work in unison as part of a kinetic installation during Dutch Design Week 2018.
The meadow is meant to be an upside down landscape and intends to remind the visitor of the impermanence of changing seasons and the characteristics of natural growth processes.
In other words, the elements we like about nature.
We do find it novel but rather unusual, to use Robots to remind us of the beauty of nature.

What do we do though! when time or circumstances get in the way?
When what we would like is nothing better, than a relaxing few hours to ourselves.
