Penicillin and plastic bags help a lot, fridges and hot water make manliness more comfortable and Tom Ford's fragrance range makes it smell better, but the idea that has pushed our lives into the light more than any other -ism or -ology is feminism.
I absolutely loathe the idea of doing a fragrance simply as a moneymaker. Personal brand to make money? Vomit.
Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a moment, it can be a walk on the beach, it could be a kiss from your child, or it could be a beautiful picture frame, a special fragrance. I think luxury doesn't necessarily have to mean expensive.
I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.
For fragrance, I only wear Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle. People at work know I'm there when they smell it.
A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits.
I don't like perfumes that are too strong or sweet. I like a fragrance that is earthy and sensual and can be worn at any time.
When I wear Hugo Boss 'The Scent For Her', I feel more confident, attractive, and seductive - it's the perfect fragrance for a date.
When I go out, I just put on a little mascara - Chanel is my favourite - and fragrance. I actually apply fragrance right out of the shower - I spray and walk through it so it's not too overpowering.
I've learnt the best way to put on the fragrance is by spraying it and walking into it so it's all over you.
