Great Scent From Lalique-Encre Noire À L’Extrême-Eau De Parfum For Men
Excellence demands a fragrance that meets and surpasses expectations. You must walk the walk, talk the talk, all whilst exuding a subtle appealing fragrance. The new Eau de Parfum for men from Lalique hits all the right notes. It neither overpowers nor fades too quickly over the day.
Lalique Encre Noir is aiming to reinvent masculine sensuality with its powerful cypress and vetiver accord. A woody new intensity with a unique and unforgettable sillage.

Indeed, for Proust, the powers of the madeleine go far beyond satiating the sweet tooth. In his novel he recalls how, as a child, his aunt gave him small madeleines dipped in tea - decades later, this crumbly delight resurrecting long-forgotten memories. One bite, a sensory trigger, containing the most powerful of ingredients – nostalgia.

One of our favourite yachts is the Baltic Pink Gin, this superb silver hulled sloop was launched in 2017, and won sailing yacht of the year at the World Superyacht Awards in 2018.
Pink Gin is not only the largest carbon fibre sloop in the world, but also displays some of the most innovative features seen in a sailing yacht, including two opening balconies set into the topsides, Baltic Yachts’ revolutionary Force Feedback Steering System and an 18-ton carbon composite hull and deck shell built to the highest degree of accuracy.
We drove the McLaren 570S Spider to the Vineyard Hotel, a 5 star Relais & Chateaux hotel in Berkshire, an ideal stopover on any luxury tour, particularly designed to appeal to wine lovers everywhere.
