Shameless Indulgence

CINDERELLA would be proud to own slippers like these, with beautiful, smoky-blue glass and skyscraper heels. But don’t worry, no one has to actually walk in a shoe that high — it’s fashion designer Carolina Herrera’s latest perfume bottle.

Good Girl (right, £94.50 for 80ml, available online and in stores from next month) is almost too pretty to use, but the scent is wonderful, warming and uplifting with two distinctive notes: light jasmine and rich tonka beans.

The result is a surprisingly sweet, feminine perfume that will be sure to raise your spirits — and a smile — on gloomy, grey winter mornings.
