You know you’re on to a good thing when people stop you to ask what fragrance you’re wearing, as happened to us this week.
What a come on! Anyway, Italian Cypress is the scent we’re talking about and it’s the latest addition to the unisex Private Blend collection from Tom Ford (above). It’s soapy clean and spicy at the same time and includes notes of Moroccan spearmint and clove buds, with a warm heart of cypress essence. It’s “a distinctly elegant fragrance for the highly refined individual”, they say, so there you have it – take a recession break and envelop yourself in a bit of luxury. Go for a trial squirt in Brown Thomas and see if you agree with us. Prices, alas, start at €140.
