Last year British perfumer Lyn Harris, founder of the luxury brand Miller Harris, teamed up with Marks & Spencer to create a perfume collection exclusively for the store.
The range consists of six Eau de Parfums, La Rose, La Fleur and La Poudree, for women and Le Cologne, Le Sauvage and Le Noir, for men.

My Skin Essentials by Mariga Nourishing Oil was dangerously close to running out so I decided to buy the SunRose Garden Anti-oxidant Oil Facial Serum to have on standby.
