A fragrant birthday

This month sees Ted Baker fragrances celebrate their 10th birthday. In order to mark this in suitable style they have brought out two new scents - one for you and one for him. Inspired by their first fragrance that was out in the 90s the women's scent is a mix of citrus notes, creamy floral's, woody sensual undertones of cedarwood and musty vanilla. Leaving you with a warm sensual scent for summer nights. For him it's a light modern cologne full of mandarin, spices such as cinnamon, musk and sandalwood. They are both a lovely modern twist on a cult classic. Happy Birthday Ted!

£30 each, Skinwear Ten for women and Skinwear Ten for men. Available at Boots and Ted Baker stores now
