Historic Scents of Time - the Dragons Den Perfumier
A new (ancient!) range of scents from expert perfumier David Pybus, who after many years in the industry, became interested in tracking down the authentic recipes for ancient perfumes, such as Nenufar, the lost scent of Cleopatra. As featured in BBC's Dragons Den, this chap is one of Cru's heroes!
InStyle UK
This is Cru's fave fashion site - there's all the usual catwalk and celeb reports, with where-to-buy, and how to reproduce a look for less. They also have street style reports, which have greater appeal to us individualistic Brits! Articles on jewellery, make-up and accessories abound, some which are hooked in from InStyle's .com site, which is more US-centric. Recommended!
