Carven Le Parfum is a lovely, light and refreshing floral fragrance.

Indulge in a bit of decadence and make this your signature fragrance for a statement that won't be forgotten. Available from House of Fraser in 30, 50 and 100 ml priced from £38.00 (30ml) to £72 (100ml). A.A. Miln  There are very few beauty products that I deem as 'must-have' essentials, but this is most definitely one product I can't live without.
This heavenly hand cream is exceptionally moisturising - without the sticky or tacky residue of many other hand creams. The fresh scent smells simply divine, however, isn't too intense for those with more sensitive skin. This multi-purpose hand cream truly goes the distance, protecting hands against the drying effects of sun, cold weather and hard water. It also helps to condition hands and minimize the look of age spots. What more could you ask for? Available from Clarins online or leading department stores and beauty counters priced from £17.90- £21.00 for 100ml (prices vary dependent upon retailer). A.A. Miln

Carven L’Eau de Toilette is the newest fragrance from the luxury Parisian fashion house. Inspired by the simplicity, freshness and captivating charm of the Carven woman, this new luminous scent, masterminded by Francis Kurkdjian, encapsulates the energy of Carven fashion with its combination of fresh yet musky floral notes.
Perfect for prolonging and intensifying the fragrance, the new Carven L’Eau de Toilette Body Line is an elegant range that embodies the spirit of the fragrance. Layer the delicate scent with a Light Body Cream, Deodorant or Bath and Shower Gel. We love the Carven L’Eau de Toilette Light Deodorant Spray. It teams up as a fragrance and deodorant, making it the perfect travel companion for those who want to freshen up quickly post flight. A combination of delicacy, femininity and elegance Creator Francis Kurkdjian first selected elegant citrus notes of Italian Lemon and Orange. These set the tone for the delicious fragrance before yielding to a charming duet of Sweet Pea and Peony, with their poetic and naturally sparkling notes. L’Eau de Toilette has inherited its signature floral bouquet but sees its fresh transparent top notes fused with the grace and radiance of Freesia, which has been underscored by White Hyacinth and Wisteria for transparency and added luminosity. Its creamy elegant bottom notes of amber, white musks and sandalwood create depth and a lingering sensuality. Creator Francis Kurkdjian comments: “I imagined Carven L’Eau de Toilette like a lightweight piece of clothing, with an elegant cut and a decidedly “city” look. As easy to wear as Le Parfum but made of a different fabric, probably more airy. Quite naturally, the original Jasmine became Freesia, illustrating its totally floral lightness. I also reworked the woody harmony in my composition, so it would blend delicately with the Musks.” Carven L'eau de Toilette body line includes:
Available from luxury retailers nationwide including John Lewis, Selfridges, Harrods, House of Fraser, Harvey Nichols, Debenhams and online at Amazon.co.uk. A.A. Miln
