We tried the ‘Chronotope SPITE EDT’
According to HOOHAA, it is a selection for the truly adventurous and advanced fragrance fans.
There is nothing harder than trying to describe a fragrance with words. Let’s start by saying that we loved it.
Firstly, what we really liked was that it has a presence but is not overwhelming, it really stands out (in a nice way).
Secondly, we really liked the way the notes of violet and rose with the leather and sandalwood have been added together. Those combinations make it really special.
Finally, the ‘cherry on the cake’ is the sugar notes that (personally) made me love it.
You now have to try for yourself 😉
And Christmas being just around the corner…
… that makes it the perfect gift!
HOOHAA are also offering gift cards, these come in three month £39, six month £75 and twelve month £139 options.
We are always please to try new fragrances at StylePilot. Thanks to Bespoke London for introducing the ‘three new fragrances variants for those who enjoy the finer things in life’, to quote them.
Proving that smelling luxe needn’t cost the earth, this range captures the essence of sophistication and embodies every men.
The range includes:
Bespoke Caramel Amber & Cashmere EDP
Bespoke Caramel Amber & Cashmere EDP introduces warm notes of rose and black pepper, that lead into a woodsy heart, enriched with notes of caramel and dry ambers. This fragrance captures a masculine base of soft cashmere, sandalwood and vetiver.
Bespoke Gin & Citrus Woods EDP
Bespoke Gin & Citrus Wood EDP releases refreshing notes of gin and fresh citrus with a woodsy heart of cedar, sandalwood, oak moss and a hint of floral. This fragrance has a blend of amber and cashmere musk to complete this fresh, outdoorsy scent.
Bespoke Black Suede & Fougere EDP
Bespoke Black Suede & Fourgere EDP is bursting with fruity and aromatic notes complementing the suede and amber scent. This fragrance offers luxurious wood and spicy notes with rosemary, amber and lavender.
Where to find them and how much?
RRP: £9.99, available exclusively instore and online Superdrug
As the famous Barbour brand has just launched two new fragrances –Barbour Fragrance For Him & For Her – they wanted to celebrate the ingredients in their new Barbour Fragrance.
As a result I was invited to a Wreath-Making.
I have detailed the steps below.
What you need to make a Christmas Wreath
You will need one wreath ring, scissors, (green) twine, florist wire and moss, in addition to hardy and different textured foliage such as eucalyptus, spruce, ivory, evergreen oak and buxus.
The Tools
The Ingredients
Christmas decorations such as fir cones, dried oranges, dried bergamot and cinnamon sticks look great and create a delicious festive aroma. However, to go the extra mile, be bold and try some pepper as it will bring new colours.
The Steps
Take your evergreen foliage and begin to twist it around the metal circle. Wrapping the stem of the leaves around the metal wire, try and keep the end of the leaves facing outwards. Tie in place using the twine or gardening wire, and continue around the circle until you have covered the wire in leaves. You may need to tie each stem in a few different places depending on how long each piece is.
You can now add flowers to inject colour and brighten up the greenery. Keep securing these extra pieces with a single wrap of wire.
Finally, finish your wreath with pepper or dried oranges for a seasonal touch. Try spray painting your pine cones in gold, silver or fake snow to add even more festive spirit to your wreath!
The Result
Et voilà !
If you’ve used fresh foliage, hanging your wreath outside will help it keep for about 4 weeks. If you hang a fresh wreath inside, it will last approximately 2 weeks – although this will vary depending on which type of foliage you’ve used.

With Christmas just round the corner, a nice gift idea ;-). See all StylePilot gift ideas.
It is always with great excitement that I open a new box to discover a new fragrance!
The first thing you notice is its weight: the glass bottle and its hefty top makes it even heavier than the average fragrance. Then, wow the top!? What a statement this bottle is. It cannot go unnoticed on your bathroom shelf.
Then, the smell. And ‘yes’ I loved it.
What it is made of
Spicy top notes of Cardamom, and Ambergris topped with a subtle dash of fresh Lemonchello, blended with middle notes of Pogostemon Cablin, Ebony Wood, Aquatic Cyperus Papyrus and Rosewood, layered on a bed of sensual Tobacco Leaves, warm Musk and Oakmoss base. Voilà !
According to LUKE, Black Oud is the new headline fragrance, using the most expensive woody based as the major element of this heady smell.
Our verdict
It feels fresh, however still strong and also long lasting (something I really like). It is masculine, but has so much dimension because of the Lemonchello and spice.
A unique masculine fragrance, a perfect complement for day or evening wear.
A bit of background

allPaws by Green People is the UK’s first certified organic range of pet grooming products
Let’s talk about pets for a change.
Crafted with care for those that are dog-tired of exposing their pets to synthetic ingredients, allPaws is the NEW organic, cruelty-free pet grooming range from Green People.
Offering fur-freshening grooming products that transform mucky pups into pristine pooches, the products in the allPaws pet care range are made with gently cleansing, pH-balanced natural actives that are sustainably sourced and suitable for all dog and cat breeds.
The pet-approved products are also certified organic and vegan-friendly, making it easy for pet owners to provide creature companions with a planet and pet-friendly bath time routine that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
A natural way to provide faithful hounds and long- haired cats with a plant-based pet spa treatment, Green People’s allPaws pet care range is launching with a duo of naturally cleansing pet washes.
Designed for pups that love nothing more than getting back to nature by playing in muddy puddles, the shampoos come in a choice of scented or scent-free formulas and cost £14.00 for a 200ml tube that’s made with eco-friendly sugar cane plastic.
The two shampoos:
Cleansing Shampoo – Wild Mint
This organic dog shampoo freshens musty mongrel smells with a soothing blend of Mint and Eucalyptus bath bubbles which leave fur soft and fragrant without irritating delicate skin. Suitable for all breeds and pups aged 12 weeks or older.
What we liked: the eco-friendly packaging, the silk texture and the very light scent (just enough but not too much!).
Sensitive Shampoo
This unscented shampoo is designed for dogs with extra sensitive skin and does not contain any fragrance. Suitable for all breeds, this gentle formula is the perfect choice for a puppy’s first bath.
Much like Green People’s skin care range for humans, the pet grooming products are both SLS- free and highly concentrated with animal-safe plant actives, meaning a little goes a long way.
We were really pleased to try the new Tom Daxon fragrance.
The best way to introduce it would be to quote them: “Laconia eau de parfum, a vibrant and zesty fragrance that is reminiscent of homemade Grecian lemonade”.
The story behind the fragrance
Tom Daxon spent the autumn of 2017 in Monemvasia, Greece.
He drunk a ‘real’ and vibrant-flavoured homemade lemonade made from lemons grown on the hotel’s estate; mixed with ice, mint and some local honey. It seemed like the idea of a perfect summer fragrance – something to refresh and revive in the heat. This is how it all started.
For the anecdote, Laconia is the region of Greece Tom travelled to.
What is the fragrance made of
With a heart of water mint, green violet leaf and jasmine, the light floral scent is injected with zesty punches of lemon, orange and mandarin top notes. A base of sea salt, vetiver and cardamom culminates in a rich aquatic scent that lingers on skin. Addictively wearable, Laconia is elegant and fresh – the perfect fragrance for spring and summer.
Detailed natural breakdown: Citrus collection: bergamot (Italy) / lemon (Italy) / mandarin (Italy) / orange (Brazil). To reinforce this citrusy feel: ginger (Ivory Coast) / litsea cubeba (China). Spices: pink pepper (Reunion Island) / elemi (Philippines) / cardamom (Guatemala). Violet leaf (Egypt & France) for the natural watery touch. Spearmint (USA) for the leafy minty feel. Clary sage absolute (France) and oil, also for the leafy aspect. Vetiver (Haiti) for an elegant drydown.
