English luxury lingerie giant Agent Provocateur are arguably best-known for their head-turning high-quality underwear, and in 2000 they launched their first self-titled perfume to accompany their sexy, lacy getups. Since then, they have steadily been adding to their perfume wardrobe with a catwalk of feminine fragrances all with their tasers set to 'stun'! In 2012, they released Petale Noir – a sexy, oriental floral that is an aria to femininity.

Petale Noir is a dew-soaked bouquet of wanton, sexy blooms... blushing magnolia, heady hyacinth, enchanting rose and water lotus tippy-toe over a heart of ylang-ylang, violet, iris, neroli and heliotrope. This fusion of rousing florals is grounded by notes of leather, tobacco, patchouli, musk and fragrant resins. Petale Noir feels very “adults only”... a carnal assortment of notes that beckons and entices in a sensual, non-cheesy way. As it evolves, it simply gets better and better!

The perfect scent to bewitch and ensnare, Petale Noir is ideal for date night, or romantic nights in. Complex, beguiling and sultry... a flower-bomb for real women.

Anyone with any recollection of the mid 90's will remember the epic release Pour Homme – the first masculine fragrance launch by then-newcomers to the global fashion scene, Dolce & Gabbana. Characterized by its unique aromatic blend of citrus, pepper and abundant woods, Pour Homme set a benchmark by standing apart from the faceless androgynous unisex scents that were prolific at the time. Fast forward 20 years, and D&G have reinvented it for a new age in the form of Dolce & Gabbana Intenso.

Off the bat, Intenso feels every bit as striking as its older brother, but somehow more refined. Crisp aquatic notes dominate its flight, veering towards a dark ambery ribbon of bittersweet tobacco, fragrant lavender and hay-like aromatic greens. A resinously warm base of labdanum, cypress and perfumed woods give it an enduring masculine slant, which lingers for hours on skin. Despite his differences with his famous older sibling, Intenso feels very much a part of the Dolce & Gabbana family... he's mature, and evokes an air of determination and virile exuberance.

Intenso is a great all-rounder that will transition easily from day to night. If Pour Homme was your jam back in the day, Intenso will satisfy in spades!

Listen, most of us know the basics of SPF and how important it is to keep your skin protected from the sun. Let's face it, summer is short and after spending all winter cooped up inside hiding from the frigid cold, who wouldn't want to spend every moment on the beach? 

Spending a little bit of time in the sun is important for your overall health. First, the most natural way to get the Vitamin D that your body needs is to expose your bare skin to sunlight (ultraviolet B rays). You don’t need to tan or burn your skin in order to get the proper amount of Vitamin D. In fact, if you're burning your skin, then you're doing something wrong. You only need to sit outside and expose your skin for about 15 to 20 minutes a day.

Second, your mood instantly lifts when the sun is shining and it ulimately makes you feel happier. Third, and this is probably the most important, the sun can give you a beautiful sun-kissed golden glow if you protect your skin while you're soaking in some rays. However, what happens when a little bit turns into too much, you forget to put on sunscreen and ultimately end up damaging your skin?

Don't worry the next time that happens because when it does, you'll already have these three skin saving SPF products by Lancaster in your beauty arsenal.
