Coconut and copper combine in these luxurious candles from Cocolux BY AMY BRADFORD First it was coconut water and coconut yogurt: now it’s all about coconut wax. Australian brand Cocolux ’s candles are a new take on eco-friendly scent and come in exotic fragrances such as Grapefruit & Lemongrass, Island Fig, Cassis & Peach and Tonka Bean & Lime Zest (yes, they smell a little bit coconutty too, but we like that; it transports us to tropical climes). The solid copper holder is a joy: you’ll want to keep it forever and repurpose as a vase or pen pot.  350g candle, £55 available in the UK from  roullierwhite.com

Foodie fragrances, or gourmand scents, are those moreish perfumes that bridge the gap between taste and aroma, the smells you can almost taste. Interestingly, smell makes up around 90% of what we perceive as taste through a process known as retronasal olfaction; the reason you have the primal urge to pinch your nose when you take your medicine.  A word for this dual-sense sensation does not exist in the English language, but the French word arôme describes exactly that - the taste-smell combination. Gourmand scents are widely recognised as sweet and sugary, which is commonly due to what is mistakenly believed to be vanilla. What we now think of as the scent of vanilla is more often the presence of the single molecule vanillin; the chemically manufactured smell and taste of cream soda and commercially produced confectionery and cakes. Vanillin is only 2% of the smell of actual cured vanilla, which - comprised of over 200 molecules - is much more intense; spicier with wafts...

As I watched the models prowl down the catwalks of the recent international collections I found it fun to imagine what fragrance each one is wearing. Long gone is the notion that one has a signature scent; there are so many remarkable perfumes on the market, so why limit yourself to one? A scent should be worn like a scarf or jewellery, to enhance what you are already wearing or how you are feeling that day or even how you would like to feel. I have heard perfume wrongly described as a mask, a scent should be about you; your personality as a whole or playing up one the multiple facets of which we are all comprised. As I have the wonderful job of sniffing out some of the world’s rarest scents I have drawn together my shortlist of some new staples for your spring / summer fragrance wardrobe.  Some aromas are specifically made for certain outfits; nothing works better that the heather hue of Harris tweed and lavender, but do not write off lavender as just for winter. Teame...

A house of distinguished provenance, doctor Edmond Coudray made his name designing some of the world’s finest fragrances for use by the French and English aristocracy. Established in Paris in 1822, E. Coudray travelled the world in search of exciting new raw materials to utilise in his creations. The resulting perfumes, “Rêve de Reine” and “Gants Pudrés” to name but a few, became the Colognes of choice for any well-to-do French gentleman during this turbulent period of history. Queen Victoria herself even sought out Coudray’s expertise, leading him to create “Reine Victoria” especially in her honour. Today, E. Coudray are regarded as among the very best exponents of fine French perfumery, and they are counted alongside L.T. Piver, Lubin, Houbigant and Guerlain as the finest perfumers of the 19 th Century.   E. Coudray continues to go from strength to strength, modernising its scents in order to keep the house in line with current olfactory trends yet retaining ...

With Easter Sunday fast approaching, that all-important family lunch is looming ever closer.   This year, why not give the tired old lamb roast a rest and try reaching for something fresh?   Salmagundi is the latest offering from Peckham’s own Sally Butcher, and includes a host of variations on the ostensibly humble salad. However, discard any preconceptions you might have about the limits of this much-maligned dish.   As Sally explains, ‘there are no rules’ when it comes to concocting your salad, and the book contains a plethora of exciting new ingredients and flavour combinations to spark your imagination. Sally Butcher is a well-known name around South London food circles. As owner of Persepolis, the consistently excellent purveyor of Persian ingredients, Sally is one of the most knowledgeable and influential voices on the subject of Middle-Eastern cuisine to emerge online in the last few years. After her earlier volume, Persia In Peckham , was r...
