Viktor and Rolf launch Spicebomb -Get ready for a sensory explosion
It’s been described as an ‘explosion of the senses’ and ‘an explosive concentrate of masculine sensuality’. Today Viktor and Rolf fans will get the opportunity to experience the exquisite new fragrance that is ‘Spicebomb’ when it is prelaunched exclusively at Harrods. Spicebomb is a male counterpart to the delightful Flowerbomb, long a favourite fragrance of mine, created by master perfumer Oliver Polge. It is Oliver Polge who is also the mastermind behind Spicebomb. And whereas Flowerbomb is, as suggested by the name, a glorious explosion of fragrant bouquets, Spicebomb is a much more heady aroma that includes a cacophony of spices, from the mystical eastern aromas of chilli and saffron,…

There was a selection of herbs and flowers that go to make up different perfumes, and a selection of vials that you could smell, although some of these were extremely strong, a bit like smelling salts. Every top brand was featured in the exhibition, which was designed like a timeline to…

What I’ve liked – Fashion Mommy’s review of September.
Well, it’s almost the end of another stylish month, and Fashion-mommy has decided to have a review of all the stylish things she has loved this month. September has been an extremely stylish month, with all the fashion weeks happening across the globe, and launches of the Perfume Diaries at Harrods, The Shoe Galleries at Selfridges, and Biba at House of Fraser. We’ve remembered sadly missed icons of style Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, and have lost Catherine Walker. We’ve welcomed the Autumn collections in all their full-skirted, 1950’s glory. And we’ve celebrated the rise of the curve, with Chanel campaigns for Crystal Renn, and a Grazia front cover for…
