AD | Ten Seriously Good Space NK Beauty Products

Some beauty shopping scenarios for you, tick all that apply: - you're in need of a skincare restock but don't know where to begin - you've saved up for a beauty treat but want something that truly delivers on results - you're sad that summer is coming to an end and...

If Jo Malone Did Harvest Festival

If Jo Malone Did Harvest Festival

Not since Molton Brown's Geranium Nefertum have I spritzed a scent and really really liked it. I think that my nose has gone on strike, to a certain extent - it's not that it can't smell things, it just doesn't really get that excited anymore. Not much tickles my...

Geranium Nefertum: So Sexy It Hurts

Geranium Nefertum: So Sexy It Hurts

Well, Molton Brown's new Geranium Nefertum range is a bit of a surprise. I can't remember the last time I needed to try a fragrance on Mr AMR with such immediacy - I actually sprinted down the stairs to spritz him. He thought I'd won the lottery such was the...

My Favourite Beach-In-A-Bottle Fragrances

My Favourite Beach-In-A-Bottle Fragrances

I'm really in the mood for a bit of high-summer fragrance, at the moment. I think it's because we keep getting these little pockets of surprise hot weather; one day it's drizzly and grim and then the next it's absolutely baking and you have to pop inside to put...

Four Great Summer Scents for Sexy Skin and Hair

Four Great Summer Scents for Sexy Skin and Hair

I think I may have been a solar panel in a former life. Admittedly that's a slightly unconventional thing to have been in a past life - people tend to cite cats, dogs, birds, royalty - but I can't think of anything, either living or inanimate, that sums me up better...

Narciso Musc Oil Parfum: 90% Cashmere

Narciso Musc Oil Parfum: 90% Cashmere

I'm about to be a total tease because Narciso Musc Oil isn't really available online, it's more of a "try and find it instore" sort of job. But wearing this for the past few weeks has reminded me how much I absolutely adore the Eau de Parfum version of Narciso and  -...

Love In Idleness: If Naughty Fairies Wore Scent

Love In Idleness: If Naughty Fairies Wore Scent

Atkinsons' Love In Idleness is such a romantic, beautifully feminine fragrance - I mentioned this in my Valentine's Day post as a springtime alternative to the more predictable rose scents, but it's good for all-year-round-wearing, really, so long as you like your...

Diptyque Philosykos: A Life-Long Love Affair

Diptyque Philosykos: A Life-Long Love Affair

I made a cheeky little Space NK purchase just before Christmas; the Philosykos eau de toilette from Diptyque. This makes it  - by far - my most-repurchased luxury beauty item. I can't think of any other product I race through so quickly and so religiously keep "in...

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc: The Summery Wintery Dry Oil Spray

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc: The Summery Wintery Dry Oil Spray

Well this is just extraordinary. It has to be the most un-seasonal seasonal beauty release I've ever happened upon: a winter launch of a fragrance product that is so summery, so reminiscent of tropical islands and hot holidays and steamy evenings, it's virtually...

Tom Ford Orchid Soleil : Liquidised Holiday Vibes

Tom Ford Orchid Soleil : Liquidised Holiday Vibes

Those still searching for their signature summer scent might like to give Tom Ford's Orchid Soleil a try. It's heady but not cloying, exotic but in the "steamy, sexy nights" way instead of the "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" sort of way. You know the exotic...

Chanel L’Eau: The New No5

Chanel L’Eau: The New No5

Last week I went to the launch of the new Chanel No5 fragrance, No5 L'Eau, and for the past three days I have been doing a bit of a "compare and contrast", walking around wearing the original No5 on one wrist and the new No5 on the other. Chanel No5 is one of the...

Thrifty Scent

Thrifty Scent

Thrifty Scent. I know what you're all thinking: has she really gone to the effort of compiling a whole feature based around an incredibly bad pun? The answer to that question is yes. Yes I have. And it's not even my own bad pun, I nicked it from Mr AMR. If you're at a...
