More than three decades ago, fashion designer Isse More than three decades ago, fashion designer Issey Miyake granted Jacques Cavallier carte blanche to capture ‘the scent of water on a woman’s skin’ within a single bottle. With L’Eau d’Issey, the fashion house introduced one of the earliest aquatic fragrances for women.

This month sees the debut of Eaux Essentielles, new compositions, conceived by perfumer Marie Salamagne. (There is a men’s and women’s fragrance). “For these new Eaux d’Issey fragrances, I drew inspiration from the very essence of pure water. Its scent, perceptible along riverbanks, captures the luminosity and freshness of the aquatic world. For this reason, each fragrance expresses its invigorating energy with clarity and vitality,” she explains.

“For L’Eau d’Issey Eau Essentielle (for her), I sought to explore the sense of minerality through a floral and musky signature,” she continues. At the top, crystalline and fruity facets of a pear accord lend a delicately sweet freshness. She then adds bergamot citrus, an infusion of jasmine, orange blossom, musks and cedarwood. This result is a fresh, light aquatic-floral scent that is a wonderful homage to the original. #davelackiebeauty
This is interesting. German fashion house Hugo Bos This is interesting. German fashion house Hugo Boss has just launched a signature men’s fragrance built around a lavender note. It’s called BOSS Bottled Striking Lavender and the limited edition scent blends crisp mineral notes, herbaceous white lavender essence, vibrant blue lavender essence, moss accord and woods. It has a bright freshness that dries to a masculine and clean woodiness. The iconic BOSS Bottled glass flacon is refreshed in a radiant blue double-lacquer finish evoking the playful summer mood of the scent. #davelackiebeauty
If you haven’t had a chance to check out Carolina If you haven’t had a chance to check out Carolina Herrera’s beauty collection, it is worth the effort. This is makeup in the form of jewellery – lip gloss, eyeshadow, lipstick and lip oils housed in charm-like baubles that hang from key rings and even earrings. Take this Good Girl Blusher Set for example. It’s a multi-use lip and cheek colour that comes in a pink and gold charm that attaches to an embossed ring. It really is a little work of art. It takes the concept of the status lipstick to a new level. You can check out the entire collection on the brand’s website. #davelackiebeauty

One of the most interesting makeup trends of the p One of the most interesting makeup trends of the past decade was the rise of 80s pop bands and artists creating makeup collections and fragrance to sell at their concerts. When bands such as Def Leppard, Ozzy Osborne and Twisted Sister noticed that a large percentage of their audiences were women, they decided to create limited edition beauty collections to sell at their concerts and online. In fact, a company called Rock and Roll Beauty built a sizable business creating these products. One of my favourites was this Def Leppard Blush and Highlight Palette. All you need before you blast ‘Photograph’. #davelackiebeauty
