Grand Gestures

Mason Pearson brushes are the sort of special beauty item that mothers pass down to their daughters. It’s not uncommon to find multiple generations in the same family toting one, from great-grandmothers to toddlers! This pure bristle version is the ultimate investment, with a densely packed head that conditions each strand as the brush passes through the hair.

The most prestigious item in the exquisite Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere shaving collection is this, an architectural pairing of a pure badger hair brush and sleek wenge wood razor. The product of high precision design and Italian craftsmanship, it’s a truly magnificent set with hand-finished detailing that sets it apart.

Christmas doesn’t begin until the scent of Annick Goutal’s cult Noel candle is wafting throughout the home. This oversized version has four wicks to ensure an even burn and to create a phenomenal scent throw, accented with notes of Siberian pine, spice and citrus fruits. It burns for an impressive 200 hours, easily lasting throughout the Christmas season.

Darphin doesn’t do things by half when it comes to skincare, and the L’Institut Facial Sonic Cleansing and Massaging Expert is no exception. This 2-in-1 device has detachable heads that complement every stage of your routine, with a cleansing brush head to remove impurities from the skin, and a massaging head to improve microcirculation and smooth fine lines. It’s the perfect gift for skincare fanatics.

This decadent, sparkling powder is perfumed with the scent of Shalimar Souffle de Parfum and packaged in a midnight blue bottle complete with puff atomiser - could you ask for a more luxurious gift? They’ll be transported to the glamorous world of screen sirens and femme fatales with every spritz of this collector’s edition.

Daisy is a modern fragrance icon, and for one season only Marc Jacobs is dressing the happy-go-lucky favourite up in three different limited edition guises. Available in red, gold and pink high-shine finishes, each bottle looks as though it’s been dipped in molten metal. It’ll be the prettiest gift under the tree this Christmas.
