editor’s welcome Welcome!

I’m a little late writing my Eds letter for this issue, as this particular May is a little more special for me. My son, Miles, turned 21 and I wanted to surprise him….well, more like embarrass him. After secretly liaising with his Fire Station Manager I had the all clear to turn up ‘unexpectedly’. So, the evening before, I put on my ‘Mary Berry’ hat and two hours later my son’s Walnut Cake was ready to decorate. The next morning, I loaded up the car with enough food to feed his crew (and others) as I was providing lunch. Off I set for an almost two-hour drive (I’ve been there once before). My son isn’t particularly keen on surprises, but turning 21 will always be a memorable time (I can still remember mine!).
6
With helium balloons bobbing around in my car I was feeling excited, but a little nervous, too. I wasn’t particularly clock watching as I was singing along to Ed Sheeran’s CD. However, I’d realised that I’d been driving for over two hours and still didn’t recognise any of the signs. After another 20 minutes driving, and seeing a sign for West Midlands, I thought it best to turn up the sound on my SatNav. Oh dear! I had taken the M40 instead of the M4! Three and a half hours later after setting off, not only was my son surprised to see me, so were the Crew. They assumed I wasn’t coming and sorted out their own lunch! The only person embarrassed on my son’s 21st was me! However, he did like his home-made Birthday Cake, as well as blowing out his 21st candle! As for the evening celebrations….my lips are sealed!! Meanwhile, in this month’s issue we have a male thing going on. With Father’s Day around the corner, we have featured (page 20) a diverse selection of male fragrances suitable for all types of dads. Secondly, we have a male special (page 22), written by the talented Persolaise, on the four Essential Es of Masculine Perfumery that include fragrances to lift your spirits, as well as unusual scents for the more adventurous man.

Finally, I look forward to seeing those who will be at this year’s Copra Beauty Awards Lunch and good luck to all the companies that have been nominated. Enjoy the read

Principal Partner of Somerset House Exhibition Coty is delighted to announce that it is one of the Principal Partners of a major new exhibition - Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent, which invites visitors to discover a vibrant new scent scene Taking place between 21st June and 17th September, at Somerset House in the East Wing Galleries, this multi-sensory show’s introduction includes a section on historical innovators such as Francois Coty, who revolutionised a fragrance industry that had seen little change during the 19th century, and reinvented the Perfumer’s fragrance palette. At the heart of the exhibition, ten extraordinary perfumes from the past two decades - contemporary cult perfumes that are shaking up scent culture - are
showcased alongside their pioneering creators who are changing perceptions of perfumes today. It ends with a working laboratory where visitors can see up close the skill and science of scent making and learn the art of perfumery. These perfume provocateurs are opening up to a global online community, allowing them to provide insights into perfume processes, celebrate their craft, engage in dialogue or even take inspiration from their customers. It offers a much more accessible approach to and understanding of perfumery, unlike anything seen before. The Perfume Exhibition is conceived and curated by Claire Catterall, Senior Curator, Somerset House, and co-curated by Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette Toilette. Global beauty leader Coty, and Peroni Nastro Azzurro, are the Principal Partners with additional support from fragrance House, Givaudan.

father’s day b y
S u z y
N i g h t i n g a l e
Socks and slippers were, traditionally, the twin pillars of gifts to give dads on Father’s Day - the lack of excitement with which such presents are generally received in direct proportion to the lack of choice in the market
b
ut times have changed, along with the types of dads these presents are being purchased for. Despite the apparent continuing belief of greetings card manufacturers that all dads have sheds, play golf and like looking at computerised pastel depictions of sports cars; the truth is that fathers’ today are likely to be a bit hipper than they’re cracked up to be. Moving away from the pipe smoking, cardigan wearing 1950’s image of what a father is, even dads are upping their grooming games - so now more than ever is the time to remind ourselves how to engage with them when gift-giving. And the answer? Scented messages in bottles… Over £680m was spent on Father’s Day gifts in the UK, according to global market analysts Mintel - a surge on previous years, but retail analyst Nick Carroll suggests that: “…there is certainly room to grow the market for Father’s Day.” Consumer reports at Conlumino suggest the spend for Mother’s Day is well over double that of celebrations for daddy, at £1.3 billion, with just 37.6% of consumers considering the day an important occasion for them (compared to 48.7% for Mother’s Day). Room for improvement, indeed, and in
20
the fragrance world this ties neatly to the fact that, where men and scent are concerned, it’s very much an age thing. According to Mintel, in the over-65s fewer than three in ten men use fragrance at all, compared to eight in ten aged 25-34. While the majority of those may not be the daddies we’re looking for right now, it proves the fragrance market is growing among young men and looks set to continue year on year, with middle-aged dads also waking up to the news that most people (no matter their age!) like to be told they smell fantastic!
So the question is: which of these scented messages will you send your dad this year?
Outdoorsy Dad: you’re my rock…
The ruggedly handsome, weather-worn type dad who likes nothing better than lacing up his hiking boots and
Classic Dad: let it go…
Trying to prise their dad away from wearing some ghastly thing Great Aunt Gladys gave them in 1983, and which they dutifully dab on “for special occasions” thrice yearly, is the challenge. For fathers reluctant to move on, you can’t go wrong with a gift set. The perfect introduction to Penhaligon’s refined world, the set of five best-selling fragrances offers a wardrobe of sophisticated scent options - and the magnificently aromatic Juniper Sling is inspired by gin. Win-win. Penhaligon’s Gentleman’s Fragrance Collection £41 for 5 x 5ml
esprit may 2017
Designer Dad: you’re a one-off…
Label-conscious papas are definitely a thing, and with the grooming market booming these dads want to look “now” all the time. For fashion aware fathers, you cannot fail to impress with Valentino, especially when they’ve captured the dewsprinkled morning stroll through an Italian garden. Citrus trickles through tomato leaf and misty sage is tempered by powdered, suede-like iris. Droplets of neroli sparkle in sunlight as vetiver, patchouli and leather, make for the smoothest of landings. Valentino Uomo Aqua £76 for 125ml EdT pretending he’s Indiana Jones will adore this Oriental - woodsy composition. Grapefruit and ginger set the senses tingling while rosemary sinks into cedar, cypriol, rumpled leather and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg. Creamy sandalwood soothes in the dry-down, and the shape of the bottle calls for a matching flask of something he can sip as the sun sets (be that up Ben Nevis or in the back garden). Davidoff Horizon Extreme £36 for 40ml Eau de Parfum
90s Dad: always in fashion…
There was a time, when your dad could still fit into his favourite jeans, that all the cool dudes were wearing CK One. Wafting its (then revolutionary) unisex waves through university halls of residence, it was the smell of Generation X. CK All has retro vibes to recall his halcyon days with enough edge to keep him current. Mandarin zips through the top notes to a heart of citrus blossom and something called the ‘Paradisone molecule’ - sounds like the backstory of an X-Men character, but is actually a jasmine-like intensified version of Hedione. Milky, soapy, it’s esprit may 2017
clean skin and a timely hug, bottled. CK All £40 for 100ml Eau de Toilette
Casual Dad: relax in style…
Meticulously blending precious ingredients from all over the world is Bottega Veneta’s signature style, here working their magic with Italian bergamot balanced against Indonesian patchouli and Siberian pine accord. Simply presented in an unpretentious yet effortlessly elegant bottle, this scent leaves a distinctive trail of masculine elegance the most casual of dads can wear - transforming tracksuit bottoms in to a Clooney-like tux. Well, nearly… Bottega Veneta Essence Aromatique Pour Homme, £66 for 100ml Eau de Cologne
Green-fingered Dad: back to my roots…
Yes, there are dads who still love pottering about in the potting shed, who freely admit it, but that doesn’t mean they need to smell of the compost heap. This sensorial trip up the garden path has evocative notes of tomato vines entwined with steamily fragrant lemongrass and the piquancy
of juniper. If you’re thinking the addition of fig in this fragrance will make it a sickly gourmand, think again – here the fig is under-ripe and full of milky freshness to balm and becalm. Shay & Blue Dandelion Fig, £55 for 100ml Eau de Toilette
Super Dad: you’re the best…
For the dad who hides his comic books underneath The Financial Times, or simply for the father figure who is considered a superhero, Jean Paul Gaultier rise to the challenge yet again with another sublime manifestation of their blockbuster, Le Male. Bursting with sea-air invigoration the freshly crushed Mojito-esque mint leaves and crisp linen invoke decisive action, with a smooth vanilla in the base to calm the conquering hero down again. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau Fraîche Superman £58 for 50ml EdT Father’s Day falls on Sunday, 18th June and it’s definitely time to switch up from the ol’ socks and slippers routine, don’t you think? We’ve long accepted that mothers can be stylish and sassy so why not fathers, too? You may have to prise that dusty old bottle of High Karate out of their hands, but in the long term it’ll be worth it. Messages are sent with scent, but memories are also made with fragrance - so dad should be given a bottle that’s worth remembering, for both sakes…
