Shameless Indulgence

TOMORROW — March 21 — has been named National Fragrance Day, so it seems fitting to feature here one of the most beautiful bottles of perfume we’ve seen so far this year.

The latest addition to Dolce & Gabbana’s luxury Velvet Collection is Velvet Cypress (right, £165 for 50ml, harrods.com).

The woody, citrus scent, inspired by the Italian cypress plant and the Mediterranean countryside, smells summery and refreshing. The addition of bergamot and lemon from Italian groves and herb gardens gives it a fruity edge.

It comes in an exquisite glass bottle that will make a stunning addition to your dressing table.

Just a spritz will have you dreaming of summer time and warmer weather.
