The Body Shop: Red Musk
If the adjective ‘bold’ was defined by a colour, my guess is it would be red. Its meaning is a willingness to take risks; confident and courageous which is precisely how I would describe The Body Shop’s latest fragrance, Red Musk*. It’s nothing like anything the Body Shop has done, in fact it’s a rarity in…

Roger & Gallet’s Gingembre Rouge
Zanzibar. A part of the world I would love to visit. It also reminds me of a Tenacious D song simply because the name randomly crops up. “What on earth is she wittering on about?”, I hear you say. Don’t worry, I’m there. Gingembre Rouge* is Roger & Gallet’s new summer fragrance, inspired by a…

His ‘n her fragrances by Reiss
When I heard global fashion house Reiss were bringing out their own fragrance, I sort of had my expectations sewn up. I hardly pay attention to fashion stores selling their own branded perfumes because they are poor (and sometimes terrible) imitations of what the big designers do best. Well, have you had a sniff at…

Thierry Mugler perfumed body creams
It would be fair to say I can be a bit of a magpie at times. Imagine my surprise when this jar of Angel perfuming body cream literally landed in my porch with a loud thud following the swift actions of the postman in a hurry to finish his morning shift. Fortunately this beautiful designed…

L’Occitane’s La Collection De Grasse
La Collection De Grasse is the name of L’Occitane’s luxurious set of new fragrances. It’s the fruits of their new in-house perfumer, Karine Dubreuil who is no strange to L’Occitane having worked on fragrances for them previously. Dubreuil has a portfolio to be proud of with the likes of Thierry Mugler’s Womanity, L’Artisan’s Mûre et Musc Extreme…
