{2jtoolbox simpleslideshow id:44}
Flip flops to boots, bikinis to coats, floral scents to wintry woods and musk. Oh yes, a change of season means it’s time for a new signature scent! These have us thinking of cosy nights spent fireside with goblets of spiced wine in hand, and fluffy slippers on our feet. Bliss!
