Words by Megan-Josephine Reynolds
The impact of scent is a powerful thing; from conjuring up memories and emotions from the past to adding an instant boost of confidence to your day with one quick spritz. A fragrance can remind us of a particular person; a partner, a parent or a friend. Many of our loved ones or fond memories are tied to a scent in our minds, so the use of fragrance often allows us to re-experience joyful times. One of the most personal gifts a person can receive is a fragrance picked especially for them; however, it’s not always an easy task!
Here at GALWAYnow, we’ve put together some of our favourite seasonal picks. From limited editions to perfume bundles and advent calendars, we think you’ll find our recommendations truly scent-sational…
