Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Givenchy, Jo Malone, Guerlain, Lancome and Clarins.
From Givenchy, Ambre Tigré, “reimagined by artist Anna Borowski in an ephemeral collaboration”: “Created in a marriage of olfactory art made by the House of Givenchy and the creations of the talented designer, a collaboration rich in escapism and poetry, the warm and enchanting world of this divine scent opens with notes of sweet and sensual amber. Cistus labdanum is revealed with animalic and herbaceous notes to softly mingle with sweet, balsamic vanilla. Presented in a bottle that depicts a miniature cabinet of curiosities, gently spritz to savour in this luminous, mesmerising fragrance.” £1,100 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Harrods in the UK…

Savour this detoxifying tea and its fresh, revitalising notes. Its initial invigorating top note of green tea quickly gives way to a fruity heart with delicate, refined notes of redcurrant, before ending on a subtle, luxurious hint of rose with powdery accents. The texture is light and silky for a comforting effect that promotes absolute well-being. The Kusmi Tea for Clarins includes 20 tea bags inside the emblematic Kusmi Tea box adorned with the colours of Clarins." €18.
