Cate Blanchett for Giorgio Armani

Actress Cate Blanchett looked incredible at her first offical appearance as the face of Giorgio Armani’s new fragrance, SI. The new scent was presented to more than 150 journalists from around the world at Armani HQ in Milan.

“SI is my tribute to modern femininity – an irresistible combination of grace, strength and independence of spirit,” said Armani of his new scent.

Blanchett made her relationship with the brand official back in April 2013, signing on to be the face of the brand’s new women’s fragrance. The whopping $10.4 million deal is only her second major beauty endorsement, after SKII back in 2004, which goes to show that being picky certainly pays off.

Sugar, Spice & All Things Nice

There is no more welcoming smell than fresh home baking. Unfortunately, since going Paleo, there isn’t much baking to be had in my home these days. Fortunately I have found a way around this: gorgeous scented things!

CURTIS & CLARKE Gingerbread Range

CURTIS & CLARKE (with their Sugar & Spice range of diffusers, candles and soaps) have restored the lack of deliciousness in my house with the sweet scent of Vanilla and spicy aromatic Gingerbread, to their Sugar & Spice range. The gingerbread (warm spicy ginger with a hint of cinnamon) actually smells like the real deal. I’ve since put the diffuser in my makeup studio and just about everyone comments on it.

CURTIS & CLARKE Vanilla Range

The Vanilla is a bit more traditional, with notes of maple and butterscotch. Each of the scents feature in three key products: triple-milled soap, an aromatic candle and an aromatic diffuser.
