Creed WindFlowers
If you’ve never been drawn to powdery, citrusy scents that are popular with female fragrances, allow us to introduce you to Wind Flowers, Creed’s latest perfume for women.
Our review breaks down everything you need to know about it.
Clive Christian Crab Apple Blossom
This fresh, fruity, bubbly fragrance is all bright and cheerful thanks to its top notes of apple blossom and bergamot. However, as it tapers down to its heart notes of driftwood and sandalwood, it becomes warmer, like a shift from a bright sunny day to a cooler evening.
Perfume Accessories
Some perfumes have really great sillage and can last the whole day. However, it does not mean you couldn’t touch up at different points during the day.
Atomisers are an excellent, comfortable and compact way to have your favourite perfume with you everywhere you go.
Know someone who is always on the move? Get them these chic atomisers from Creed.
