Scented Delight

While there are plenty of brands offering candles and scents to consumers, La Bougie fragrances are a bit special. Created entirely by Lucy Hagerty in her West Cork perfumery using aromatics and botanical oils, their ranges are truly divine.

The business, which opened in Kinsale in 2012, has been a huge success, and along with being stocked in Brown Thomas and Meadows and Byrne, recently opened its first physical store in Lymington, UK.

The latest La Bougie fragrance, Pomelo, was launched in Dublin recently and if you are in the market for a birthday or Christmas gift, this is just the ticket. Described as “playful, zesty, unapologetically bold“, it’s a great party scent with notes of coriander, grapefruit and gin. Another favourite of ours is the classic Mission Fig which has a rich depth and comforting aroma which will fill the room with a delicious warmth and is perfect for chilly autumn evenings.
