R695│50mlYou’re bound to be seduced by this irresistibly flirtatious fragrance, which opens with fresh bergamot, blackcurrant and crispy pear before feminine orange flower, jasmine and precious orris (a legendary seductive note from Florence that’s been used in perfumery for centuries) come to the fore. The warm woody base of vanilla, spicy olibanum and cashmere woods lingers on your skin.
R650│50mlEqually alluring, this ultra-sexy fragrance rouses the senses with sparkling top notes of peony, passion fruit and Tahitian tiare flower, before making way for a big white floral heart that packed with magnolia blossom, white lily and vanilla orchid.

R170│150mlA sunscreen that protects and nourishes skin – who knew? Plus it’s packed with Vitamin E which helps fight premature ageing and it smells too delish! Apply liberally before sun exposure and reapply after swimming, sweating (thanks to that killer session of beach bats) or towelling off. And remember to avoid the harsh midday sun. Not a beach goer? Apply it to the backs of your hands while commuting in to work or while driving.
