Betrothal Grossmith for women
I have it I had it I want it
"The original Betrothal perfume was made by the Grossmith perfumery for Princess May, on the occasion of her wedding to King George V. Then the princess became the newly crowned Queen Mary, who happens to be Prince William's great-great grandmother, and those ripples of history resonate in Betrothal’s beautiful revival in time for today’s fairytale royal wedding of William and Kate."
"And so to the perfume itself – Betrothal is a floral bouquet with a citrus opening which blooms quickly into the floral heart of Rose de Mai and Jasmine. Incidentally, this precious ingredient can only be called ‘Rose de Mai’ if it is specifically grown in the tiny town of Grasse, in France - the very heart of perfumery itself. Very few perfume houses source their ingredients from here, now, as they are so incredibly expensive to produce. Of course, Grossmith, working closely with the renowned perfumer Roja Dove, decided they must only ever use the finest ingredients to honour the history of the family name, whilst also ensuring the quality of their perfumes keeps them in annals of perfumery history yet to be written."
"There is a wonderfully luxurious powdery note from the Heliotrope mixed with Ylang Ylang and Neroli, clean and lingering, which reminds one of dusting powders applied with swansdown feather puffs with handles entwined in satin. It's not all virginal white, sweetness & light, however. Though delicate, this isn’t some trembling, fragile bouquet of blossoms soon spoiled - there's a definite hint of minxy naughtiness once that billowing veil has been lifted, a suggestion of the final seduction to come."

Betrothal Fragrance Reviews
threshique
At first I find myself beeing forcefed a big heap of random flowers.
And as much as I enjoy flowers, and basically all kinds of them, I do not enjoy the act of forcefeeding.
Then I'm invited to a celebration in an old house by an old rich woman.
Theres a big table covered in cakes, cookies and sweets of all kinds.
Beautiful but exhausting.
At last I leave, and somebody gives me a doggiebag with a few treats, well chosen and more spicy than sweet. I gladly accept the gift to let this cover up what happened before.
