Roullier White is delighted to announce the arrival of an exclusive, exciting and engaging new scent; Thirty-three from new perfume house Ex Idolo. break Ex Idolo's  Thirty-three is a fragrance crafted from very special ingredients. The soul of the fragrance is built around a vintage oud;  distilled in 1980 and aged until its release in 2013. It is the only modern perfume to use a significant amount of wild-harvested Chinese oud oil and natural Chinese rose oil to build the scent profile. Contrary to most ouds however, Thirty-three is a surprisingly soft and velvety fragrance, and is an oud unlike any other in terms of ones perception. Thirty-three is a deep and dark unisex fragrance, with clever dry and cold facets. Top notes: Soft black pepper, Candied mandarin, Caoutchouc Middle notes: Chinese white tea, Chinese rose, Taif rose, Orris, Damascus steel Base notes: Rare vintage ouds, Aged patchouli, Heliotropin Talent...

The most marvelous and unique thing about our glorious part of South London is that one can walk a mile or so but feel like one has traveled to a completely different town, such is the varied nature of our lovely local neighbourhoods. Nothing demonstrates this more for me than a Saturday jaunt to Honor Oak, via the truly magnificent One Tree Hill. Since a child, where my school friends and I would play, the wooded hill has always been one of my favourite places; an escape to the countryside but seconds away and with an enormous reminder of how close you are to town with the spectacular views.. One Tree Hill is named after the Oak of Honor which once stood on its peak, So named as beneath it Queen Elizabeth I rested during her journey to Eltham Palace on May Day 1602. The original oak was struck by lightning in 1888 but an equally majestic off-shoot stands in its place. This wooded nature reserve is home to much fauna and fauna, I am delighted to regularly see, but more of...

Lawrence Roullier White shares the many and varied joys of a Saturday spent shopping in verdant Dulwich Village.  I never need an excuse to pop along to Dulwich Village - it has to be one of, if not the, prettiest places in London. The prospect of checking out the newly opened Gail’s Artisan Bakery was all the incentive I needed. Dulwich Village is with in easy reach of London Bridge, take the train (10 minutes) to North Dulwich. I have been going to Dulwich Village since I was a teenager, when many a night was spent in the Crown and Greyhound  - or the Dog as locals affectionately refer to their local - along with the Clockhouse (in nearby East Dulwich), back in the day the Dog was one of the only few decent pubs in the area. That of course has now changed and the locale is full of wonderful places to eat and drink; but I shall always have a soft spot for this man's best friend. Linger with a lunch-time cask ale and share a legendary meat board, mixed...

Today I will be wearing: Byredo - Sunday Cologne - Eau de Parfum break It is a lame cliché which does not do this remarkable perfume justice - but it has to be said - Ben Gorham's Byredo Sunday Cologne is a classic cologne fragrance with a twist. The scent reminds me of a white-tiled art deco New York Bathroom, a pile of fluffy cotton towels, chrome taps, misted mirrors, a bone toothbrush and a badger shaving brush on a beveled glass shelf. Where, of course, this elegant bottle would look perfectly at home. Or being the first customer of the day in a 1950's barbers in backstreet Rome. A crisp morning after a night of rain, as the sleepy city wakes up a radio crackles in the background. An invigourating splash of scent on just shaved skin. break break Sunday Cologne is a clean, fresh modern fragrance with  an underlying sense of style and tradition. break Uplifting and pleasing, Sunday Cologne has a triumvirate of notes at the top, middle and base. An initial burs...

A Saturday stroll along Evelina Road and Nunhead Lane is quite literally a walk down Memory Lane for me. My family has been shopping in Nunhead for as long as any of us can remember. Growing up in Rye Hill Park my dad would rush into Ayres the Baker’s after school to buy a ha’penny bun and later - after he was married and patiently waiting whilst my mother shopped for dress fabric in Peckham’s posh department store Jones and Higgins - my Gran and sister and I would buy crumpets for tea and our Grandfather’s Sunday morning brown bread and cockles & whelks from F. C. Soper. break Whilst many London urban areas identify as villages Nunhead really is one, complete with village green and all the traditional, independent and glorious shops one would expect and hope for. Lawrence Roullier White shares this rare treat. In these times of torte and tramezzino there is no greater joy than having a traditional family baker’s right on your doorstep and Ayres the Baker's is one of ...
