Whether you’re more Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn, Bésame’s ‘1950’ is the fragrant incarnation of a string of pearls – classic and totally timeless. Perfect paired with cinched waists and flared skirts or Breton stripes and ballet pumps, this sparklingly feminine blend of mandarin, mango and freesia has a headily powdery prettiness – mellowing to a warm, sun-drenched heart of gardenia, frangipani and tuberose above a base of vanilla, cashmere wood and musk. Meticulously researched and crafted from precious, essential oils and natural alcohol, this convenient rollerball can be carried in even the most compact clutch bag – perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.

Apply to pulse points whenever you need to enhance your allure.

The result of six years of painstaking research, Bésame Cosmetics’ Decades of Fragrance collection evokes the ‘essence’ of the ages – from the playful decadence of the 1920s to the elegant sophistication of the ‘50s ‘new look’ – these scents are olfactory time capsules; chic (and convenient) vials of precious perfume that encourage you to channel the fabulous flappers, film’s femme fatales of the doe-eyed bombshells of the 1960s. Just choose the ‘spirit’ of your favourite age, or mix and match to suit your mood (and outfit).
