We love these traditionally-styled perfume bottles. They are hand blown and then hand cut to create the designs and note how even the stoppers are carefully faceted to catch the light. They are available is a range of rich, jewel-like colors too.

Although they are designed to hold your very favorite fragrances, we find that so many people are using them as decor items in their own right. They look gorgeous in almost any room in the home but add to truly luxurious touch to bedrooms and powder rooms.

Originl Victorian perfume bottles can cost n absolute fortune these days but these reproductions are equally attractive and functional. They look splendid when used as  bud vase holding  single precious bloom and they make excellent candleholders, especially in groups as the flickering light from the candles is deflected ...

The very name has always conjured up quality to me. Oh, and tradition – that’s hardly surprising because Elizabeth Arden was born in 1884. But yet the latest technology and ingredients are used in these products.

Elizabeth Arden was a Canadian who was taught about cosmetics in the salons of France – this explains why there is a continental flair about the brand. The fragrances are so evocative too. (Note that Elizabeth Arden was her company name and not the name she was born with).

But it’s largely thanks to her that we wear makeup at all. In her early career, it was seens as being not quite respectable. She worked hard to change this attitude and also to teach women to apply cosmetics that looked natural.

There was a time when gifts sets were almost a default choice for people who weren’t being terribly imaginative when looking at their gifts lists. Although always welcome, these items were never really seen as being particularly appealing. Today though, now that the absolute best designers are selling these super sets, the situation is very different.

This is especially the case when a respected designer like Georgio Armani produces such wonderful goods. We all appreciate the quality of the fragrances from this fashion house and those for men are often singled out for particular praise. These gift sets can include items such as shower gels, shaving goods, deodorants and more. All Armani’s most popular ranges are available and can be ordered online – in fact, some are exclusive to the website and not available ...
