THE 7 VIRTUES

-

For fragrances that do good as well as smelling delicious, try The 7 Virtues. Created by Barb Stegemann as a result of a promise she made to her best friend, a soldier who was wounded in Afghanista­n, each scent is designed to foster commerce in regions of strife. The flowers for Afghanista­n Orange Blossom are grown by farmers who might otherwise cultivate the heroin poppy, while Vetiver of Haiti is made from the highestqua­lity organic vetiver that comes from a supplier who is rebuilding following the 2010 earthquake. (selfridges.com) Our picks: Vetiver of Haiti (£54) and Afghanista­n Orange Blossom (right, £54; both exclusive to Selfridges)
