THE AGENDA
7 7. SO FRESH Launched in 1992, Eau Parfumée au thé vert was Italian luxury goods brand Bulgari’s very first unisex fragrance. In delicate shades of green, the bottle’s pure shape and sleek lines evoke the freshness and vitality of the scent within. In line with current eco-aware trends within the cosmetic market, the formula doesn’t contain lanolin or active ingredients of animal origin. When first applied, the scent immediately releases top notes of citrus, jasmine, rose, orange blossom and Italian bergamot, then slowly unveils the base note of soothing green tea. Together the bouquet creates a recognisably floral aroma, which is sweet but not aggressively so. It comes in many sizes as splash or vaporiser, and there is also a special 350ml gift-size bottle with a large silk atomiser. From £38, www.bulgari.com
