Liz Earle has announced the launch of its third fine fragrance. Botanical Essence No. 100.
Top notes include: Damask rose, orange flower and Indian jasmine
Middle notes: Cypress, sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla
Base notes: Mandarin and bergamot
Available now and priced at £47 for a 50ml bottle.
With top notes of lemon and green apple the new Body Tender is a gorgeously light, fresh and airy spring fragrance. A great everyday scent with an average staying power of around 6-7 hours which for a light perfume I think is amazing.
I absolutely love the visuals to this campaign and think Cara Delevigne was such a good choice to be the face. She really does sell the simplicity of the perfume very well. An all round thumbs up from me 
Have you tried the new ‘Body Tender by Burberry’, if so what did you think?
Escada Cherry in the Air is a lovely day fragrance with top notes of black cherry, raspberry and mandarin, mid notes of coconut and vanilla. There is also hints of sandalwood, oak and white suede which really balances out the sweetness of this perfume. The scent is extremely sweet at first but once it has connected with your skin it really does die down and leaves a lovely refreshing scent that lasts the day.

Wednesday morning was rather exciting, it’s not everyday you get to have breakfast with a Hollywood star. I was invited to the Press Breakfast for Hugo Boss NUIT with special guest and ambassador Gwyneth Paltrow.
Tea, coffee, orange, champs and water was served with a lovely selection of cream cheese and salmon minnie bagels, cheese croissants and an array of breakfast Hors d’oeuvres. Shortly after a mingle and a chit chat we were introduced to the fragrance with a demonstration of all the notes.. (explained below)
Top Notes: White peach and Wet Aldehydic
Mid Notes (or as Hugo Boss like to call it) Heart Accord: Jasmine, White Flower Bouquet and Violet
Base Notes: Crystal Moss and Sandalwood
We then had a Q&A with the fabulous lady herself where she talked about all things beauty, her children, home life and how she chooses her fragrances, she was so down to earth it was quite refreshing.
Gwyneth prefers to wear Hugo Boss NUIT at night but admits to wearing it in the day for something a little heavier, she also mentions about trying to teach her daughter Apple about how less is more when it comes to perfumes, her lil one has a tendency of covering herself from head to toe in perfume.
She also spoke about her beauty regime and expressed that it was a commitment for when she turned 40 to make sure she took time on a weekly basis to have a facial, her simple beauty ritual and favourite moisturiser (which she mentioned a lot) has really kept her looking young I must admit. No idea what the moisturiser actually is I’m afraid, even though Ree from Reallyree.com did try her hardest to get it out of her.
The perfume for me is just right for evening wear, I have mentioned this over and over again but I am extremely sensitive to smells, anything too strong sets off a migraine but this has just all the right ingredients for an extra heavy evening scent which are all headache friendly .
Hugo Boss NUIT priced £34 for 30ml, £47 for 50ml and £59 for 75ml.

Christmas is approaching fast and I can honestly say I am not prepared at all. I am now getting to the end of my tether and have succumbed to Internet shopping, well actually I’m always at the end of my tether and Internet shopping is always the route for me.
I am usually the organised individual of my bunch and have normally completed my shopping by mid November, I’m sitting here thinking what went wrong this year.
However Internet shopping can also be a pain, most online retailers cut off period for next day delivery is around 4pm so you can imagine my surprise when I heard that NEXT would be extending this period to 9pm. 9 – 5 workers can now get home for a cup of tea order and know that any last minute Christmas shopping they have left will be delivered the next day.. PERFECT.
NEXT have put together a rather fetching video ad highlighting (with a very colourful array of gifts from NEXT) the cut off time for next day deliveries. I love how all the little objects come together to make an alarm clock, a very clever ad indeed.
I know I’ve had a nose on the site and will definitely be taking advantage of the 9pm cut off, will you?

LACOSTE launches limited edition fragrance as a tribute to its founder Rene Lacoste. This dropped on my doorstep this morning and I have to say it smells SEXY!!
Ladies treat your man to this and you’ll be eating his neck all evening and he’ll probably love you for it. Inspired by the classic white polo short, the fragrance is a fresh, woody and herbal blend of grapefruit, rosemary, cardamom and cedar leaf to create a clean and aromatic first impression.
Geodesis are a French home fragrance brand that ooze pure luxury and relaxation. Imagine coming home from a rough day at work, putting your feet up and being able to completely wind down to your favourite scents. BLISSS!
Neroli is one of my all time favourites, its such a fresh and energising scent which really does invigorate the senses, I have been spraying the Geodesis Neroli room spray every chance I get and have even spritzed myself with it a few times. I absolutely love it!
If you’re a fan of candles, reed diffusers and all things fragrance for the home then check out Geodesis.
Anything Paco Rabanne always reminds me of my Dad and his old school Paco Rabanne oringinal after shave… every older man must have owned one.
Black XS L’Exces is a new addition to the Paco Rabanne ladies range, a spin off of the original Black XS perfume I assume. The beautifully packaged and presented bottle is great to look at but unfortunately for me the strong smell of Jasmine and Rose was a little too heavy for my senses. Strong perfumes set me off with very bad headaches and this one did just that.
Perfume lovers, if you’re a fan of Jasmine and Rose then give the one a try, unfortunately it wasn’t for me
