Our Grooming Editor Christos Theophanous takes over once again and he promotes his favourite pick of the month, the new version of BLACK OPIUM by YSL Beauty.

Le Parfum takes Black Opium’s original floral gourmand scent and shines a spotlight on vanilla, it’s most precious facet. The iconic coffee accord has been twisted with an exceptional blend of four vanilla notes, each different yet complimentary. Ranging from the most delectable aromas to sensual woodyotes, the diverse quartet of vanilla ingredients combines to create an unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity. Bound to an exhilarating dark-coffee accord, and bright white florals, this new take on the classic Black Opium signature exudes a wildly powerful sensuality, equal parts bold and exquisite. An ultra-intense scent for those seeking the ultimate day-to-night olfaction.

Unlike any other Black Opium bottle, this over-black jewel shines from cap to toe with a reflective gloss: like an expertly cut gem, chiselled from a precious dark stone. At its centre is a dazzling heart of glitter, emblematic of the vivid fragrance found within.

The team of JW Anderson came together via phone, email and videoconferencing to create a 100% British wardrobe, throughout the creation process, from the design made in England.

Introducing JW Anderson’s Made In Britain capsule collection: reimagined iconic shapes and silhouettes including oversized shirts, a trench, a cape, a dress and t-shirts made of existing surplus materials. Using signature techniques like patchwork, reverse stitching and raw and exposed seams made the collection instantly recognisable as JW Anderson. Also true to the brand’s DNA, the pieces in the capsule aren’t designed with any gender in mind; the entire collection was shot on both female and male models to reinforce the fluidity of Made in Britain.

One of the main characteristics of it: the Genderless silhouettes
