The Scent Is Out There
The new Alien Flora Futura eau de toilette by Thierry Mugler is a fresh and sparkling fragrance with an enveloping and vibrant floral scent. With top notes of citron, Buddha wood and hints of sandalwood, a switch to a more refreshing aroma is certainly timely as we move into spring.
Alien is certainly a classic scent range, and this new variation on a popular perfume could make an ideal special gift for a special mother or guardian in your life.

Bloom and Grow Forever
This small but mighty addition to a daily skin routine, a radiance restoring face oil from skincare creator and chef Angela Langford, can be an extra something special for this Mother’s Day.
This little 15ml bottle contains a blend of chia seed and sea buckthorn to deliver high levels of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants purporting to improve skin’s elasticity, calm inflammation and restore radiance. It is suitable for those with sensitive skin and is quickly absorbed into the skin too. Simply massage one or two drops into clean skin or add a few drops to your moisturiser.
