Scents are increasingly tricky in our toxic world. If you must be perfumed (and certainly there are times when nothing pleases as much as a blend of gardenia and bitter orange with a dash of cinnamon - please, no licking the editor) then your best bet is with an essential oil. Acqua d'Afresco Beauty without Bites is a functional, bug-repelling perfume, but beauty need not be practical at all times. For whimsical indulgence, there's Calmia Bali Sunset, £35 for 50ml. A marvy-sounding blend of Jasmine, Sandalwood, Green Mandarin and Ylang Ylang, it is an "all-natural, therapeutic way to fragrance your body without the skin-sensitising effects of using perfume."

I would like to get hold of some Calmia Bali Sunset fragrance as the shop has closed. Please contact me If you have some stock I can buy as it is the only fragrance I like.
