Style Edit: Henry Jacques' Les Croisières fragrances distil a memory of summer
The fragrances are drawn from
Henry Jacques' Les Classiques range – the house's foundational collection – and presented as Les Brumes, lighter versions specifically for misting or splashing. The ample size of each 75ml flacon encourages generous, playful applications – on leaving the poolside, heading for sundowners, or just lying on the deck of a yacht.
To create Les Croisières, Henry Jacques drew inspiration from the unmistakable olfactory repertoire of summer – white flowers, citrus and the like – expressing them in the form of lighter essences, which suit the season better than the intensely concentrated extracts known to perfumers as 'absolutes'.

Les Croisières collection is also designed to envelop the wearer throughout an entire day, from indulgent morning to tranquil afternoon and on into sultry evenings. By its nature, summer is a season busy with social engagements while also offering soporific sessions of restful me time (preferably with a book and hammock). For every mood and occasion, there is an appropriate fragrance from Les Croisières.

Perfect for daybreak, the delicate and almost powdery Musk Oil Gardenia combines its namesake flower with ylang-ylang and musk in a comforting fragrance that evokes sunlight falling through curtains and the promise of a relaxed day.

For wearers who like more active mornings, Henry Jacques presents Aude. Top notes of white florals and mirabelle plum give way to a heart of sandalwood and jasmine, then a base of white musk, amber and the faintest hint of tobacco. Evocative of fresh breezes and sea air, Aude conveys freedom and adventure.

Could plant-based egg be answer to UK's allergy and sustainability concerns?
Following months of anticipation, the UK has just welcomed its first plant-based egg made from mung beans. The American brand Just Egg has launched in the UK and may be the answer to the country's allergy and environmental concerns. Made from mung beans, the product claims to look, cook and taste like eggs – minus the chickens. With a steadily growing number of Britons exploring more sustainable, allergy-friendly or plant-forward diets, the arrival of this vegan egg could not be more timely. 'We think there's a huge pent-up demand for it,' says Matthew Glover, founder of Veganuary and chair of the Vegan Food Group, the team behind the UK roll-out. 'There's not been anything like this on the market so far. So we're very excited to launch it into the UK.'
