Got a craving for syrup-soaked hot buttery pastries right out of the range? Then grab a knife and fork! Iconic perfumer Serge Lutens has bottled perhaps the most sumptuous lip-smacking treat that will surely satisfy your sweet cravings, and not put on a single pound!

Jeux de Peau is a finger-licking gourmand oriental launched in 2011 that evokes all the delightful feelings of standing in a Parisian patisserie – its olfactory pyramid reads like a shopping list for a candy store: warm milk, coconut, liquorice, apricot, spices and amber... all of which furnish this perfume with a 'comfort-food' quality that one simply can't resist. What is perhaps more incredible, is that it feels somehow honest – less synthetic and sugary, and more pastry-chef! Imagine hot, buttery pear and almond fragipanes, straight from the oven... the experience of this scent on skin is nothing short of ravishing. Serge Lutens has woven a little culinary magic into the tapestry of this perfume, and it is something to be celebrated. If you like it hot and buttered, then Jeux de Peau is sure to be your jam!

Hands up if you've ever worn or sniffed the now long-discontinued “Le Feu de Issey” by Issey Miyake? That fiery red flacon which enchanted so many people now fetches stratospheric prices on online auction sites, but I'll let you into a little secret... Italian accessory giant Etro have created the next best thing: Etra! More than just kissing cousins, the similarities between the pair are simply staggering!

In all honesty, regardless of whether you are familiar with its predecessor or otherwise, Etra is a wonderful standalone scent... a woody oriental perfume that is loved by men and women alike. Etra is a celebration of fragrant woods and spices... it features coriander and cardamom in its flight, over a rose / rosewood heart. Creamy vanilla and sandalwood lend a milky, lactic feel, whilst a shot of red chilli pepper ignites an ember of sensuousness within. Created in 1999, just one year after Miyake's now-famous “Feu”, Etra has become a favorite amongst the rich and famous for its charisma and uniqueness.

Etro's name was chiefly founded on the manufacture of their exquisite paisley-patterned cashmere scarves and therefore Etra feels very much like a soft delicate mantle to pull around one's shoulders. One to wear for day and for night, Etra would make an impactful and lasting signature scent.

With the Northern summer now knocking at our door, what more could one wish for but the perfect cologne to take you from poolside during the day to party time at night? Sun is a vibrant fragrance that is both luminous and warm, and suited to dynamic men of all ages!

Jil Sander have done well in capturing the essence of summer in this masculine creation... it is light, yet projects well, and one cant help but feel a sense of well being and vitality when wearing it. A brisk bergamot / rosemary opening feels classic and strikingly aromatic, whilst a lightly spiced heart of cardamom and nutmeg lend a sense of warm earthiness. With it's crisp musk and creamy sandalwood base, Sun Men offers a well-considered play between these citrus, herbaceous and woody accords. Whilst the olfactory notes may suggest otherwise, Sun Men remains perfectly transparent and breezy for the best part of the entire day. It feels as fresh and uplifting as a summer zephyr!

If you're a guy who likes to to glam it up at the beach or just rock it out for a night on the town, this is an ultra-modern fragrance for either balmy summer occasions or fresh everyday wear. Bottled sunshine!
