Established just 6 years ago, British born Laboratory Perfumes have created […]
Launched this year, BAD Intense from Diesel is a punchy take on the already successful BAD fragrance. This is undeniably a masculine scent, and in our opinion, designed to make a statement, to get attention, and compliment a robust, edgy look. If you’ve read some of our other recent fragrance reviews, you’ll have noticed that […]
This perfume landed on our doorstep and within seconds it was sprayed on our pulse-points. Curious and delighted to receive a bottle of Oud Essentiel from Guerlain, we couldn’t wait to see how a fragrance is said to be so expertly developed. Guerlain is a brand synonymous with classic, high-end fragrances, skincare and make-up, and […]
You may have been walking past, and then felt the need to step inside one of the many Penhaligon’s stores around the UK, compelled by the theatre of fragrance infused mist being sprayed across the threshold, and drawn in by the exquisite aromas and classic décor inside. I know I have, and I’ve been a […]
Following on from last years launch Jaguar Pace, the brand now gives us its second iteration PACE Accelerate. Created to celebrate the Jaguar F-Pace family sports car, the best-selling Jaguar Pace is an expression of true masculinity.

Last week we were sent a bottle of the new Ralph Lauren fragrance Polo Red Extreme that has just been released in the U.K this June.

Back in December we wrote about The Tragedy of Lord George, one of the new Penhaligon’s Portraits Chapter 1 fragrances. A few months on and the charming story continues with a host of new characters. Penhaligon’s have done fantastically well to build such a great story behind the characters and we’ve now got Lord George’s secret […]
It’s been some time now since we’ve covered Penhaligon’s and after we attended a breakfast at the Royal Exchange to hear about the brands new Portraits Chapter 1 collection, I’m really not sure why it’s been so long.

I’m a big fan of products with a dual purpose; products that look great, and make our lives a bit easier and more enjoyable, but I haven’t yet considered how this approach might improve my grooming routine. When the going gets hectic, it’s easy to put off the simple things that keep our skin looking fresh […]
Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited by Hugo Boss to The London Edition Hotel to listen to Gerard Butler talk about the launch of the new BOSS BOTTLED INTENSE fragrance. Obviously when we were there we were taken on a journey of the new fragrance. The eau du parfum is a natural […]
