NEW Cire Trudon Fragrance Matches for 2016

These aren’t a new product at all and have been around from my favourite home fragrance brand for a while; however, 3 scents have been added to this bizarre and innovative product range. The matches are true candle matches, being around 15cm each and are individually laced with Cire Trudon fragrance that makes the box smell divine…

NEW TOM FORD Private Blend 2016 Vert D’Encens & Vert Des Bois

Over the last few years the TOM FORD Private Blend collection has expanded rapidly – some I love, some I don’t love as much. However, I will nail my colours to the mast and say this launch, particularly the Vert D’Encens, is my favourite fragrance launch in a very, very long time – to me…

Frederic Malle Monsieur by Bruno Jovanovic

I have never worn a fragrance that so many people have commented on. Without a fail, every single time I have worn this, someone has come near me and asked what that incredible smell is – or someone has come in the room and said “something smells gorgeous” to which I incredibly conceitedly respond “oh, that’s…

Fragrancing Your Life with Aqua Universalis

Aqua Universalis, Universal Water, by Maison Francis Kurkdjian has been part of my family for almost 5 years now. I use it, Chris uses it, Mum swears by it and my Stepdad loves it.

NEW Lynx Black Night Well Worth a Look

I don’t know what’s happening with Lynx at the moment but I like it, from the grooming range to bottled fragrance, to really gorgeous new releases – it appears they’re shaking off their school changing room past. Lynx Black Night is very similar to one of my guilty pleasures, Zara Night which seems to come…

Frederic Malle Bakelight Travel Spray Case

I’ve very recently fallen in love with Frederic Malle fragrances. I’ve dabbled in the past but for some reason have always passed on them with no idea why. If you’re not familiar with the brand, each fragrance is by one of currently 12 perfumers – each as staggeringly accomplished as the other. I was very…

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Barbershop

Only when writing this I realise I’ve never reviewed Spicebomb before! Which is weird as I’ve been wearing Spicebomb Extreme religiously since Christmas. But better late than never. Spicebomb, an incredibly well performing male fragrance – that relies on being genuinely gorgeous rather than pure marketing – and just in time for Father’s Day 2016…

In Paris with Lacoste

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may very well have seen that I’ve been in Paris last week – ooh-la-la! Despite the most miserable weather on the planet, I was very excited to be flown out to the French capital with Lacoste to spend 2 days talking about tennis and fragrance. Recently…
