Haircare

Olaplex: No. 6 Bond Smoother

The first step to luscious locks for summer is making sure your hair is in tip-top condition. Olaplex’s No 6 Bond Smoother strengthens, hydrates and moisturises all hair types. This leave-in smoothing cream also promises to speed up blow dry times and eliminate frizz for up to 72 hours, so your hair can keep that just-styled shape for longer.

For beach-waves without the beach, we recommend Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray. This salt-spray provides soft texture and shine, for voluminous beauty waves without any heat, and without spending hours on the sand.

Sisley: Protective Hair Fluid

Sisley’s Protective Hair Fluid is a must-have for summer. It forms a protective film, defending hair against the harmful, drying effects of sun, sea and swimming pool water. It is formulated for optimum protection against UVA and UVB rays, and will protect against colour stripping or fading. A lightweight textured spray with a summery fragrance, this styling spray is an essential.

Fragrance

Le Labo: Neroli 36

Nothing says summer like a warm floral scent. Le Labo’s Neroli 36 has a sunny floral character with a warm, sensual base that packs zest and heat. Neroli, also known as Orange Blossom, is considered a symbol of good luck, health and fertility, perfect for marking a step into a brighter future.

Armani Privé: Cyprès Pantelleria

Armani Privé’s new fragrance, Cyprès Pantelleria captures the aromatic elegance of Cypress. Sparkling Mediterranean light is contrasted with dark volcanic rocks, in this scent which fuses the fresh scent of cypress trees and sea foam for an energising summer fragrance.

Tom Ford: Soleil Brûlant

For a scent that will make any day seem sunnier, we recommend Tom Ford's SOLEIL BRÛLANT. This fragrance captures the high-shine brilliance of the golden sun beaming on a private oasis, where sun-kissed citrus mingles with spices. The result is a seductive scent that lingers with a burnished warmth.
