Jaden Cornelious sings 'Nature's Miracle' for charity Saturday 1^st September

After performing at The Queensmere last weekend, Jaden Cornelious is back by popular demand at The Observatory to perform on 1^st September from midday to raise awareness and funds for Berkshire based Sports Able and London based Access Sport, both helping disabled children access sports facilities, mentoring and training.

Jaden has written and released the song 'Nature's Miracle' a song that is not only a positive affirmation, but which celebrates the fact that no matter what, we are totally unique. No one can walk, talk or smile like us - we are nature's individual miracles and that is something to not only be proud of but to be celebrated. The song was released online in July 2012 and 100% of ALL download sales will be shared equally between his chosen charities, chosen as they help children/adults with disabilities and children from deprived areas to achieve their sporting dreams.

Come along to The Observatory outside Primark and enjoy a fantastic voice and amazing song while supporting a very worthy cause.

This September, Dr. Paolo Vranjes, world renowned Florentine chemist, cosmetologist and perfumer is adding new fragrances to his luxury home fragrance range. Excluding the Dr. Vranjes Collection Range, it has been a number of years since Dr Vranjes introduced a new fragrance to the UK, but that’s about to change with the debut of not one, but three stunning new fragrances. 

Born and educated in Bologna, Dr Vranjes was inspired by his grandfather - a silk trader with a passion for collecting essences and perfumes encountered on his travels. In 1983, Dr. Paolo Vranjes decided to unite his personal history with that of a city unique for its culture of essences and perfumes - Florence.  Created and produced in Florence Dr Vranjes’ products are now available in 22 countries, his products are now available in over 30 countries, used in the some of the worlds finest hotels and grace the shelves of prestigious UK stores such as Harrods, Liberty and Fortnum and Mason.

By combining only the finest essential oils and pure natural ingredients, Dr Vranjes is recognised worldwide for being one of the finest producers of home fragrances whose brand symbolises quality and luxury. These new fragrances will add exciting and exotic alternatives to the existing range.

Chinotto e Pepe – Chinotto and Pepper

A masterpiece of balance and harmony, this new Dr Vranjes fragrance is created with the unique combination of bitter orange and pepper.  Facets of citrus from bergamot, mandarin and orange are warmed with a sumptuous, spicy union of cardamom, nutmeg and saffron, blended with the precious woody notes of vetiver, sandalwood and amyris. 250ml - £49.50

Cuoio e Radica – Leather and Wood

Designed to impress, this marriage of leather and briarwood create a masculine fragrance.  The elegance of orange blossom, violet leaf and freesia are expertly combined with the virility of cedar, patchouli leaf and briarwood, blended perfectly with the surprisingly soft notes of leather, amber and vanilla. 250ml - £49.50

Petali di Rose – Rose Petal

The Intoxicating fragrance of rose petals, the main component of this beautiful new floral bouquet is precious Turkish Rose, highlighted by touches of geranium, ylang ylang, violet and jasmine.  Notes of cedar wood, amber, vanilla and white musk give a rich intensity to this elegant fragrance. If you liked Dr. Vranjes previous Rose fragrance, you will love this for its depth. 250ml - £49.50.

The full Dr. Vranjes range, available from Senti includes bath and body products, perfumes, fragranced diffusers and candles.

Bedford Lodge Hotel Add a Touch of Scented Style with Dr Vranjes Luxury Fragrances from Senti

Senti, the home of all things fragrant are delighted to announce that Dr. Vranjes luxury fragrances are now adorning the rooms of the four star Bedford Lodge Hotel in Newmarket, Suffolk.

Bedford Lodge Hotel Chief Executive, Noel Byrne was introduced to the Dr. Vranjes Collection by Jeff Ward of Cannizaro House earlier this year. Cannizaro House have been using Dr. Vranjes fragrances in their Wimbledon hotel for over a year now.

Noel told us, ‘we have been using another brand for some time now, but when I saw the Dr. Vranjes collection I was at once taken with the packaging and thought that the they would work perfectly at Bedford Lodge and I hadn’t even experienced the fragrances at that point!’

The Dr. Vranjes fragrances are stunningly presented in beautiful and original glass bottles inspired by, and carefully created to follow, the lines of the famous “Duomo”, Florence’s Cathedral of Santa Maria di Fiori - the City’s symbol of pride.

The Bedford Lodge Hotel is currently displaying the Aria fragrance in their reception area and has a statement-making 2.5 litre sized bottle greeting visitors.  A light fresh fragrance of citrus, lemon and orange blossom, lemon essence and the fresh, green scents of white musk and wild mint, together with bergamot and blooming mimosa all blended with Marine Algae.

On entering The Roxana Bar, you will be greeted by the scent of fine dessert wine, blended with essentials, herbs and spices.  Uniquely, Grape Vines are used to defuse this fragrance in a reusable decanter.

In the bathrooms of the suites and junior suites at Bedford Lodge, you will be greeted by the wonderful scent of Dr. Vranjes Acqua, a personal favourite of Noel.  A refined and light marine fragrance, with notes of basil blended with white musk & marine algae.

Whilst in the lounge area’s of the suites you will find the delicate, yet energetic Ginger & Lime and the warm and elegant Melograno (Pomegranate). Melograno is a very memorable and instantly recognisable fragrance used in many of the finest hotels. Fruity, woody notes of black grape and watermelon recreate the intense juicy fragrance of crushed pomegranate seeds. 

Bedford Lodge is also trying out a new fragranced, turn down service.  As part of the service guests rooms are sprayed with Dr. Vranjes room sprays.  As well as the Melograno, Bedford Lodge is enhancing their customer experience by using the citrus fragranced Aria, and the fresh, sunny fragrance of Green Flowers.  Green Flowers has top notes that include lemon and bitter orange blossom, natural green tea, flowers of ylang ylang, jasmine, mimosa and narcissus. 

Senti became the sole UK distributor of the luxury brand of Dr. Vranjes room fragrances following Debbie Knight’s stay at the Villa Vedetta in Florence, which uses the fragrances throughout hotel.   The fragrances feature in some of the world’s most beautiful and discerning hotels, including II Salvatino in Florence, the Capri Palace, The Capital Hotel, Knightsbridge, Cannizaro House in Wimbledon and the enchanting Bingham Hotel in Richmond.
