A luxe body product is always a great gift for the beauty junkie in your life, as we are more likely to buy a bottle of Olay at the drugstore for ourselves while hoarding our deluxe make up and perfume. A splurge on a body product is a luxury we reserve for gifts and they are always welcome! Here are some great ideas for someone who could use some pampering [...]
The orange blossom is one of my favourite little white perfumed flowers. Orange blossom is the fragrant distillation of fresh bitter-orange flower. These oranges are too sour to eat, but it is that bitterness that makes this the most aromatic of the orange varieties. The leaves become petitgrain oil, and the delicate white flowers become neroli and orange blossom absolute. It plays very well with many other perfume [...]
Funny – I realized the other day that I had never tried Jo Malone Red Roses. I always have so much fun at the Jo Malone counter, trying this with that, and trying new combos on my skin. I’d likely sniffed a Red Roses tester bottle at Neimans or Holts, but it has never been on my skin. Thought it was high time to rectify that. Especially given my recent [...]

His latest release features some pretty cool dudes including Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, just to name a few.

I love tea scents but frankly have been a bit bored with them. After the green tea mania of the 90s nothing new or interesting in the tea genre has struck me as something I might want to wear.
