I never expected a necklace to change the way people notice me. Yet lately, strangers stop mid-conversation to ask what I’m wearing. It looks simple enough, a slim gold chain falling to my sternum, but at its centre is a clear glass vial of perfume oil, warming against my skin. I don't even have to dab it on my pulse points for people to lean in closer… This is my fragrance necklace, and, without question, it is the most complimented accessory in my wardrobe.

This month we get a bit more sophisticated, with the inclusion of some less commonly used essential oils, namely Peru Balsam and Myrrh.

You may have heard of balsamic notes in perfumery.
