By developing from renewable sources, Bamford continues in the right direction, using sustainable alternatives to petrochemical solvents, and creates an eco-friendly product that is also not toxic towards people either.

Bamford English Garden Diffuser Collection (£55, 250ml)

The inviting, fresh fragrances include Wisteria, Garden Rose, White Iris, English Lavender and Lily of the Valley, which all together comprise that of a perfect English garden.

“My garden is my sanctuary: a place of refuge, somewhere I retreat to for solitude and contemplation, for inspiration,” explains Carole Bamford, “but above all to immerse myself in the sounds and sights of nature, which nurture my soul and leave me calm and centred.”

With aiming to capture that tranquility and the idea of being at one with nature, a strong sense of pride is revealed within this collection, of just how great the English soil can be.

So will it be the sweet musky scent of Wisteria or the crisp green waft from Lily of the Valley this summer?

Glass joins in on the fragrance festivities with some of our favourite perfumes. For her by Narciso Rodriguez is a modern yet iconic fragrance celebrating its 19th anniversary this year and consists of a pure, sensual, and feminine scent with floral, powdery, and amber notes.

For Her by Narciso Rodriguez

 The perfume cult favourite L’Eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake  was inspired by the scent of water giving it its timelessness. The scent combines a fresh, floral, and woody note with undertones of lilies and soft freesia. The perfume, which is celebrating its 30^th anniversary, will leave you with a delicate yet floral aroma.

Eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake

 This popular fragrance has its roots in an almost forgotten amber resin fragment in the Marrakech souks which Serge Lutens himself picked up and was inspired by to create the Ambre Sultan perfume.

The Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens combines its amber base with powdery and vanilla notes that were inspired by the resins of small trees from Siam.

Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens

The beloved fragrance, Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana has been giving customers its summery and floral scent for 21 years and continues to be praised by its wearers for its fruity, fresh undertones that remind one of the Mediterranean sea. Notes of rose, apple, musk and jasmine give Light Blue its iconic summer aroma.

FRENCH perfume house Henry Jacques sets sail across the Pacific with the announcement of its new store opening Hong Kong. Founded in 1975 in Grasse, situated in Southern France, Henry Jacques Cremona‘s meeting with one of the last great noses of the old French perfume tradition sparked his love for this craft.

Described in a similar fashion to an Haute Couture House, Henry Jacques is built upon a perfumery that is home to over a thousand different scents and an archive of 3,000 formulas that have been noted from around the world. Creating custom-made fragrances tailored to each customer you can have your very own personal signature fragrance – a stamp of your own identity.

She had a mission to come up with something that not only would not irritate the most sensitive of skins, but also not do some kind of long-lasting damage to the planet.

Green People Vita Min Fix 24-Hour Cream

Now I have previous with supposed natural products that not only ripped my pores to shreds but also clogged up the sinks of any flat I ever irritated the landlord at – which was most flats. I used ground apricot kernels, which messed up the pipes something terrible, and didn’t do my skin any good either.

Fast forward many years, and the most important thing for any skincare regime for me, is that it is gentle, but effective, that it cleans without stripping, and renews without feeling clogged up, sticky and claggy.  If it smells light and delicate and holistic, bonus points.

My new skin care best friend is the Vita Min Fix 24-Hour Cream, which is a light, and lightly scented cream that works beautifully both as a day moisturiser and a night cream. It really, really does reduce the appearance of fine lines and is a Beauty Bible award-winning product. It smells clean, cucumber-like and has to my mind, an immediate toning effect.

Green People Firming Eye Serum

My problem area, like most people, sleep deprived or just a bit older, is just under the eyes, my excess baggage. The handbag friendly Firming Eye Serum, with a squeeze and roll applicator, takes immediate effect, tightening and lightening the area which I top up with concealer. No chalky residue, which you sometimes get with immediate tightening products.

Round midday, my skin is starting to feel the effects of central heating, which is where the Toning, Hydrating Mist comes in, which is a cooling spritz of Aloe Vera, Orange Blossom and Rose.  It fixes any make up re-application or just cools you down when you are feeling hot and bothered.

Green People Gentle Cleanse and Make-Up Remover

When it’s time to wash the lot off, I go for the Gentle Cleanse and Make-Up Remover, which not only leaves the skin feeling fresh, clean and moist, but also calms down any minor inflammation with Aloe, Calendula and Shea butter.

This combination of products works well for me, but there are so many more products from Green People that might be better suited for your skin type and age. Take a look on the Green People site and take the phone off the hook, as you may be some time.
