Santa Eulalia ‘Albis’ eau de parfum—Santa Eulalia, one of the oldest stores in Spain, has a history that spans 170 years. Founded in 1843, this storied fashion house was one of the first shops to offer an on-site tailor to create bespoke pieces — quite an achievement for its time. Today, it caters to Catalan people who crave style, veering away from ostentatiousness, and Santa Eulalia’s fragrance collection supplies this. The latest is Albis, a floral woody musk, suitable for both men and women. With notes of orchid, sandalwood, Valerian, lilac and jasmine, this is as fresh and welcoming as an early morning breeze.

Linden Leaves Aromatherapy Synergy Body Oil is our go-to body oil, especially in the summer months (OK so we know its officially just turned to Autumn over the past few days but we are holding on to the summer dream).
