A HEALTHY DOSE OF SUNSHINE IN OUR LIVES

Our youngest insists we need a lemon tree.

A pop of colour for our living space. A promise of sunnier climes.

To seal the deal they suggest I could always extract the fruit oils for my perfumes.

A delightful, if not bold suggestion. They know me well - I immediately started looking at optimum growing conditions (bright light, ericaceous soil) and start to collect lemon pips.

The lemon oil in DÔL eau de parfum is sourced from lemon groves dotted along the southernmost tip of Italy. The lemon tree, with its glossy evergreen leaf thrives here, abundant fruits handpicked for cold-pressing to release fresh and sparkly citrus notes.

Always up for a challenge I will let you know when our lemon pips sprout.
