After much consideration, I think I could stand to have these in my house. From Etro, the Rajasthan ("...suggests a nomadic and yearning femininity, wild gypsy poetry set in the Maharaja’s cities: like the bright and colourful precious pearls from magical India. Etro’s fragrance is dedicated to an ever-changing and unexpected personality, who is always able to surprise with joy. This is an oriental floral fragrance with pink pepper, lemon, mimosa, rose and amber") and Jacquard ("A tribute to the intricately woven fabric often used by Etro in their garments, the Jacquard Candle is full of fascination and new beginnings whilst remembering the past in an authentic and original way. This fragranced candle is sophisticated and exotic with its notes of bergamot, black pepper, iris, jasmine, sandalwood") candles, 145g each for £60 at Harvey Nicks.
The daily lemming
Etro Musk in spiffy new packaging for the brand's 50th birthday. "Musk eau de parfum by Etro is an invigorating fragrance that captures the scent of fresh air after rain. Bearing olfactory fragments of a land steeped in intrigue, this refreshing fragrance evokes a path in the woods with an inviting silence, cloaked in wet leaves and lush grasses. A citrusy opening of bergamot, grapefruit and verbana enliven a classic heart of white rose and woods, on a hazy base of musk." £150 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Liberty London.

A new bottle of Vetiver arrived at my home last week, and I’ve bought many bottles of Magot, Sandalo and Messe de Minuit, too.
