A scentimental journey For more than a decade, Nancy Meiland has been weaving a world of scent that feels like coming home. In her Brighton atelier, she has created a space where fragrance is about finding your own authentic expression. Where every conversation begins with, “What do you love?” rather than, “What should you wear?”. Her newest fragrance is Iris Nebula (EDP £135.00 for 50ml), a potent love potion, perfect as a bridal fragrance, it deepens into luscious white pear and velvety iris butter. This is followed by an emerging trail of anise, caramel, resinous cedar, soft suede and violet powder notes. It’s hailed as an “atmospheric composition that lingers like a lover’s memory.” Available at nancymeiland.com or pop into the atelier at 2 Nile St, Brighton, BN1 1HW. A decade OF BLOOMS Based in central Brighton, Hunter Florist celebrated its 10th anniversary in September, while owner Neil has been working in the amazing world of flowers for nearly 30 years. “Being based in the city we tend to cater for the smaller intimate wedding, people for whom Brighton is a special place even if they don’t actually live in the city,” Neil explains. “We believe every wedding is personal and tailor our work for each wedding couple to make their day as special as we can, regardless of whether your wedding party consists of just six guests or 250, in Brighton and around. We love to create classic bouquets and individual eccentric arrangements to make your day as unique as you are. To us flowers are essential in everyday life, to celebrate, enhance and remember.” Here’s to the next 10 years of Hunter Florist!
