HellO, WOrld!
I go crazy everytime when I’m in holiday. We all do. But when I’m in London, I go tottaly nuts! Because they have this amazing place named The Conran Shop. For me, it looks like Heaven on Earth. I could live in that shop. I could sleep in that shop. And of course, I want to buy everything from that hype shop from Marylebone. But I’m not Kanye. Or Maddona. So, here are the things that made my hart melt one week ago. Yes, my little souvenirs from London:
Andrée Putman – Un Peu D’Amour Préparation Parfumée
I’ve never heard about Andrée Putman before. But I discovered this amazing perfume in Conran Shop, and I was very curious to see who signed it. And I’ve found that Andrée Putman was one of the biggest interior designers of the last Century. And she made her marks also in the Fashion industry. And also, she created some incredible perfumes.
“The secret of life is to love and to be loved,” Andrée used to say to her daughter Olivia, and Un Peu d`Amour is an ode to love and a wish for a happy life. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the launch of her first fragrance, renowned designer Andrée Putman presents Préparation Parfumée: a collection of six fragrances that embody the same sense of incomparable style that make her an iconic figure in the design and fashion worlds.
Un Peu d’Amour is a joyful fragrance for positive thinking, with notes of orange and bergamot, jasmine and lily of the valley and vanilla and sandalwood. Of course, you can find it in Conran Shop. And you will love it, of course.
Triumph & Disaster – Rock & Roll Suicide Face Scrub
Scrub your face, gentlemen! You have to do that, if you want to have a brighter and healthy skin. Infused with a unique natural fragrance called ‘Smoke and Wood’, Rock & Roll Suicide from Triumph & Disaster is engineered with safe, efficient science combined with natural ingredients to be your own personal ‘Mr WOLFE’ for the face.
Volcanic Ash is created when solid rock shatters and magma separates into minute particles during volcanic activity. A little like diamonds, this stuff is created under pressure. As a result this amazing organic matter is the star ingredient for this hard working face scrub. It acts as a natural abrasive and combines perfectly with natural clays for deep exfoliation. On the other hand, Green Clay is a super absorbent clay. It’s really unbeatable at drawing out dirt and impurities from oily skin. It’s nourishing too, being naturally rich in iron, magnesium and potassium. As you can see, this product will do some magic to your face skin. And you can order it online from their website.
Triumph & Disaster – Shearer’s Soap
This brand has many wonderful products, and I discovered in The Conran Shop this beautiful soap, made from a translucent base high in glycerin that makes it incredibly gentle on your skin. Poppy seeds assist exfoliation and provide a massaging effect that works in combination with our bespoke natural fragrance to create a complete cleansing experience. ‘Shearers Soap’ is safe for the environment, Gentle on skin and strong on the nose.
You can use it Daily for a superb all over body exfoliation.
The Oyster Card
If you are in London, you will need this blue card, that will give you the access to the public transport of the city. Everyone is using the subway here, so buy your Oyster Card and fill it with pounds. It’s available forever, so you can use it everytime when you will visit London.
L’Erbolario – Black Juniper
Strong, stoic, heroic, tough, resilient. In a nut-shell: a free plant. That is the Juniper, which has always been known for its almost legendary prop-erties and used in history as a “spiritual shield” to protect what man loved the most. By precisely drawing inspiration from the qualities of the juniper berries, L’Erbolario’s phytocosmetic research has formulated the Black Juniper line including cosmetics for vital, dynamic men who, albeit over-committed and overwhelmed, want to find the time and energy to take care of themselves. A line that will take care of every man’s skin and “pamper” it with its beneficial properties. Not surprisingly, Juniper berries are precisely called… cuddles.
The star of this collection is Ginepro Nero Profumo, a men’s fragrance, bold and resolute, to be worn every day with pride. With notes of: Juniper berries, bitter Orange, Elemi, Cedarwood and benzoin Sumatra, it’s a perfume with infinite vital energy. And you you don’t have to go to London to buy it, because you can find this perfume from L’Erbolario, and the entire Black Juniper Collection in selected Sensiblu shops.
LOve,
