photorealistic Une Rose, or Musc Ravageur, created by the nose Maurice Roucel, a scent so outrageously sexy that my otherwise liberal husband won’t allow me out of the house wearing it. These are all utterly luscious, truly buttery confections, seriously skin-nourishing – and a little goes an astonishingly long way; indeed, you can wear these body butters instead of, rather than as well as, the accompanying fragrance – and at this price, probably just as well. (There are also Body Milks, Body Washes, Body & Hair Oil – pretty much any type of luxury your heart desires, within the range, although not everything is available in every scent.) Chanel No.5 The Body Cream, £65 for 150g. While everyone else was dropping their bodycare, Chanel have continued to offer a wide range of treats from top to toe. Available in several fragrances (check out the chanel.com website for the full rundown), the body creams are voluptuously rich, in beautifully hefty, Chanel-emblazoned jars. Lighter textures are also available and I’ve a particular soft spot for Chanel soaps, which is another great starting point for layering. Jo Malone London Orange Blossom Body Crème, £54 for 175ml Hermès Eau de Citron Noir Moisturising Balm, £45 for 200ml. Best keep this citrusy treasure under lock and key, because Hermès’s minimally-packaged, complexion-soothing treat (which can be used on hands, face and body) also does double duty as an aftershave balm. Jo Malone London Orange Blossom Body Crème, £54 for 175ml. Jo Malone London fragrances are designed to be layered – but not in the traditional way. Instead the brand encourages applying combinations of fragrances to create something that’s different again. This particular hefty glass jar of sweet-scented, white floral heavenliness has pride of place on my bedside and I slather my limbs with its moisturising formula night after night – but you could follow their Fragrance Combining suggestions and layer it with, perhaps, the classic Lime Basil & Mandarin, or, for something more exotic, Dark Amber & Ginger Lily. Jo Malone London offers a superb line-up of layerables, from hair fragrances to bath oils and even shampoo. Goutal Paris Italian Hand Balm, £26 for 40ml. Now that the late founder of the perfume house’s daughter Camille is at the helm, this most quintessentially French brand has had a name-change to Goutal Paris. Although there isn’t a huge range of bodycare on offer in the UK (do check out what’s on offer in the lovely store at 14 rue Castiglione, just off the rue de Rivoli next time you are in Paris), I do want to point you in the direction of the gorgeous new hand creams. The ‘Italian’ fragrance (there is also <strong>Garden</strong> and Oriental) is wonderful smoothed onto wrists before spritzing Eau d’Hadrien, one of the all-time stars in the pantheon of Cologne classics. Floral Street Neon Rose Body Cream, £22 for 200ml. Great name, great fragrances: inspired by Covent <strong>Garden</strong>’s flower market (the original, not the sprawling modern location in Battersea), Floral Street offer a portfolio of appealingly affordable scents, some of which now can be enjoyed as Body Wash (£18 for 200ml) and Body Cream. There are four ‘neo-florals’ (as in, not your granny’s floral scents…), in the bodycare collection and I particularly like this gorgeous fusion of jasmine, apple blossom, bergamot, angelica and peach nectar. I promise you’ll almost hear your skin slurping up the blend of shea butter, sweet almond and argan, as you smooth it in. I recommend some playtime at the brand’s store on Covent <strong>Garden</strong>’s King Street. E. Coudray Iris Rose Perfumed Body Cream, £38 for 250ml (escentual.com). This vintage French fragrance house is pure boudoir chic. It’s almost a crime to apply this cream unless you’re wearing a silk peignoir, while sipping a glass of something sparkling. It’s super-nourishing (hazelnut, sweet almond and jojoba oils feature in the blend), and the scent is pure ‘Mummy’s handbag.’ There is also a Body Oil (£55 for 100ml) in this fragrance and a gorgeously bottled Eau de Toilette to spritz as your final, feminine scent gesture. And if your favourite fragrance doesn’t have accompanying body care? I’m an advocate for some experimentation. You can mix-and-match perfumes and bodycare, though it helps to stay within the same fragrance family – florals with florals, Orientals with Orientals, etc. – to avoid scent clash. Not confident enough to do that? Then reach for an unscented body cream or butter as the ‘base’ on which to layer a favourite fragrance. Try Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter, £26 for 200ml (like everything they make, it’s fragrance-free) – or if you’re on a budget, I don’t really think you can beat Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion, £7.69 for 300ml, a nongreasy formula featuring skin-soothing oatmeal. Then lavishly scent yourself over it with your perfume of the day. And may you waft gorgeously (and longlastingly), from here on in.
