1 week agoUSA UpdateComments Off on I tested three unisex perfume gifts, and one budget option is perfect for chilly weather
SHOPPING for perfume can be hard at the best of times, never mind when you’re gifting.
But if a new signature scent is on your shopping list, these unisex fragrances are a guaranteed hit . . .
AllSaints Shoreditch Leather is every bit as cool and edgy as you would expectSupplied
Budget
AllSaints Shoreditch Leather Eau De Parfum, £40 for 30ml, boots.com
Inspired by the AllSaints leather jackets, this is every bit as cool and edgy as you would expect.
Amber, patchouli, leather accord and sandalwood make it fiery and in your face – almost like a hot toddy in fragrance form, a real confidence boost in a bottle.
It’s perfect for this time of year when the weather is chilly, and the added notes of saffron, rose and jasmine give it a softness akin to suede.
Mid-range
Aesop’s fragrance is as energising as a brisk walk in the countryside.aesop.com
Aesop Virere Eau de Parfum, £115.00 for 50ml, johnlewis.com
If you like the great outdoors, you’ll love this herbaceous, green scent.
Zesty bergamot, tart, almost bitter green tea and warm, earth hay unite to create a fragrance that feels like a breath of fresh air.
It is as energising as a brisk walk in the countryside.
Warm, jammy fig and spicy pink pepper give it staying power, grounding the lighter notes for year-round wear.
Surprisingly, it’s my favourite of the three.
It’s like wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket by a roaring fire.Supplied
Luxury
LBTY Vine Thief Eau de Parfum, £225 for 100ml, libertylondon.com
On first sniff, you’re hit with a boozy, woody scent that’s just as opulent as you’d expect from the department store’s signature fragrance line.
Notes of condensed milk and strawberry offer a subtle freshness that stops it being too heavy, while vanilla and musk add a comforting edge that’s like wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket by a roaring fire.

ZENB pasta is a great way to get iron, plus protein and fibre, into your diet
ZENB pasta is made from 100 per cent yellow peas – no wheat, gluten or anything else.
The brand is the only regular pasta alternative I like. Now it has brought out some fine noodles that are perfect for soups and Asian dishes.
A 100g portion contains 3.9mg of iron, which is 28 per cent of your daily recommended intake.
This is a great way to get iron, plus protein and fibre, into your diet without supplements or pills.
One of my favourite products and they take just five minutes to cook.
From £4.50 for a 320g pack with four individual portions, zenb.co.uk.
POWDER
These berry-flavoured daily greens from Elle Macpherson’s Super Elixir range have a supermodel price tag
I DON’T always believe a fancy name guarantees a fancy product.
But I do love the berry-flavoured daily greens from Elle Macpherson’s Super Elixir range.
It is a new flavour from the cult wellness product, with more than 40 ingredients. The main one is barley grass, followed by leaf powder and wheatgrass – all great sources of iron. Plus there is kelp and spinach, too.
There are also plenty of fruit and veg powders and fibres which help with energy production and are great for the gut, cognitive health, immunity and skin, hair and nails.
This is a pimped-up green powder but thanks to all the antioxidant rich fruits, you get a big fruity smell when you open the container and it tastes lovely.
Rise capsules could be a good solution if you want your entire daily intake of iron in one serving
IF you’re looking for a supplement that offers your entire daily intake of iron, then Innermost’s The Rise capsules could be a good solution.
With just two capsules a day you’ll get 14mg of iron. But these may also help cognitive function and stamina because they contain other productivity-boosting ingredients.
These include vitamin B, a superfood called maca and the mushroom cordyceps, which are said to aid endurance.
Plus there is bacopa monnieri, a plant that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine that improves cognitive function for a sustained energy boost.
In trials, 85 per cent of people said two capsules a day made them feel more productive.
