COSMETIC CRAVING

ABEL Pause Eau de Parfum (£100, abelodor.com) is the world’s first fragrance crafted to support you through menopause. Don’t guffaw, it’s quite beautiful and soothing, and the brand has the clinical research to show its notes of narcissus, mimosa, violet leaf and hay (yes, hay) can mitigate symptoms including anxiety, brain fog and disrupted sleep.

It’s delicate and grounding, like a warm drink and a good chat with a dear friend.
