Sun Sun Sun is the essence of the day as Tom Ford Private Blend sees the arrival of its newest connoiseur perfume. Lavender Palm aims to capture the sparkling vitality of a relaxed, refined vision of California. So no images of a downtown LA, steaming twenty lane highways, or Beverley Hills excesses here. Think more sparkling sunlight, expansive [...]
Nostalgia is a very seductive and inviting state in which to immerse yourself but it can have a sting in its tail. The idea of vintage as style I like – you can step into it – consciously enjoy its wry ironic smile and then step out again into another era or even into the [...]

Seduction with a dark little twist is the name of the game for Diesel’s new fragrance.

The fragrance is proclaimed as a “beautiful but deadly weapon of seduction” made [...]

In a perfume world where the transitory summer fragrance season often means the same summer scent released in an updated bottle each year, Stella McCartney’s Sheer always presents a brand new girl every May. Perhaps this is due to the success of the original Stella McCartney perfume, but with Stella Sheer you actually do get [...]

The Jean Paul Gaultier Summer Edition fragrances read like a history book of the designer’s summer clothing collections – with each bottle ‘dressed’ to reflect the current catwalk stand out pieces. When launching his fragrance range in 1993, what could be more natural from the flamboyant designer than to encase the sweet smelling liquids in [...]
Issey Miyake is of course one of the trailblazers of Japanese minimalist fashion. And as a rule, the L’Eau d’Issey fragrances reflect that monochrome creativity in their silver, white and black. But the 2011 summer limited edition fragrances take on a light, more joyous exterior – this year we are told they are, “At the [...]

After the success of Infusion d’Iris Eau de Parfum, Prada has launched Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette. Under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada, Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette was blended by perfumer Daniela Andrier, and we think it is a fresher and more floral interpretation of the original Infusion d’Iris. The bottle is vintage style, in frosted glass with [...]
