Banana Flambee
We really felt that a wearable banana-inspired fragrance was long overdue, so we thought quite hard about how to bring it to life in a way that was true to form, yet not reminiscent of that sickly sweet-shop banana scent that really doesn’t serve justice to this most favourite of fruits. Our answer was to…

Espresso
Take us to Italy....barring that, a good cuppa will do..........

Golden Delicious Apple
