Scent-Driven Exciting Products

Although non-scented products are considered better for sensitive skin types (and I am one of them) I must say that I really do prefer scented ones. The more nostagic the scent the better, but I am also a massive fan of an extremely feminine base topped with a msculine note as a modern twist. The bit that makes YOU feel unique when wearing it. The part that separates you from the past and projects you into your own presence. I often look for a new frangrance to accompany me on a new stage in life. I smell for the composition that most reflects this new chapter. Anyway enough of the deep and meaningful and onto these awesome new products...

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Light-weight Body Lotion with Spf 30

This classic moisturiser from Kiehl's now comes in light-weight with Spf 30. It contains jojoba butter and olive fruit oil and smells like soft whipped vanilla. It's light-weight formula is absolutely perfect for this muggy weather. It leaves your skin soft, supple, perfectly scented and protected! No sticky, heavy feeling with this one. It should be used daily over Spring/Summer months and perfect for a city holiday or break.

The Laundress x Le Labo Rose 31

Now this a genius product. It makes looking after your clothes effortless ... a joy even! The Laundress is the brainchild of Gwen Whiting and Lindsay Wieber Boyd. They are based in New York. Gwen was a Senior Designer of the Ralph Lauren Home Collection for five years. Lindsay was the Manager of U.S. Sales for CHANEL Ready-to-Wear. It made sense with their love of fabrics, to launch the perfect line of luxury detergents and fabric care.

They've teamed up with super chic frangrance brand Le Labo. The antidote to the mass-produced, naff, over-marketed perfumes you find in supermarkets and Airport terminals. Founders Edouard and Fabrice's concept is 'lovingly formulating each of it's 10 fragrances, on demand, right in front of you' at one of it's labs. It's originl one is in New York. There is one at London's Liberty store and also at Colette in Paris. Their most popular formula is Rose 31. A favourite of Helena Christenesen and other glamourpusses! It's also popular with men. It's a portion more masculine than feminine, but extremely sensual and heady. Intensely sexy, this one!

SO imagine a cap-full of this beautiful, biodegradable, non-toxic, allergen free detergent in with your delicates or favourite cotton t-shirts. Fantastic for travel or for washing your clothes before packing them to go on holiday. I can't reccommend it enough. Very very special product.
