Merry Xmas / Joyeux Noël and Happy Boxing Day
I hope you have had a great few days with family and friends over the Christmas holiday period and that you’ve over indulged in all the right ways. I’m just happy to have some time with my boys when I can get them away from […]
Top Tunes 2017 + A Spotify Playlist
I read Caitlin Moran‘s Manifesto last year and she described her fervour for Get Lucky by Daft Punk, where she became obsessed by the song and played it over and over to a ridiculous extent. Star Roving was my Get Lucky for the year. The shoe gazer […]

Saturday Sounds : French Tunes : Palermo Hollywood from Benjamin Biolay
Yesterday while working, my colleague and I were looking to Serge Gainsbourg for some perfumed inspiration – as you do. Well for those of you who are fans of Serge, and there are many of us, you may want to get acquainted with a few […]
April Favourites : A Mixed Bag
To be honest I was a little preoccupied with the French elections in April and engaged in much reading and TV viewing to better understand the system. Relief was palpable as Macron saw off Le Pen in the second round, although he has a hard road ahead. In […]
March Favourites : Spring Has Finally Sprung
Ups and downs ran amok in March but overall it was a good month, primarily due to the buzz of fragrant Esxence and the arrival of spring with its abundance of colour, flowers and warmer temperatures. This is a great time of the year to go […]
