Eau La La!

The stunning David Gandy and Bianca Balti talk perfect scents—and the right lighting

FAVORITE SCENTS:

David Gandy: I don’t like anything too heavy. I always care for vetiver, oud, and bergamot.

Bianca Balti: I do like a fragrance that’s fresh and puts me in a good mood. I live in California—i like the sunshine.

ON MARIO TESTINO:

DG: Mario makes you look even better than you thought you could.

BB: When I was 17, I skipped school to see an exhibition of Mario Testino’s in Milan. I do believe in life that whatever you envision happens.

TIPS FOR TAKING A GOOD PHOTO:

DG: For me, it’s just being natural—someone just caught you off-guard, or you’re having a laugh.

BB: It’s 100 percent about lighting. For a selfie, find where the light is the best on your face.
