The Ingredients
COPY: One’s Signature Scent…..A Spritz
Body & Hand Wash…...A Dash
Body & Hand Lotion….A Dollop
Dry Body Oil…………….A Splash
Hair Perfume…………….A Mist
Cleanse hands and body with Halfeti’s heady potion of rose, fruit and spice.
The Method
1.) Sink into the tub and lather oneself if Penhaligon’s Body & Hand Wash until squeaky clean and refreshingly fragrant.
2.) Once dry, a tuppence sized dollop of Body & Hand Lotion leaves skin soft with a light veil of one’s signature scent.
3.) To leave a lasting impression, a glaze of Dry Body Oil makes for a presentable and perfectly perfumed individual.
4.) For a fragrance that lingers, lightly spritz one’s pulse points with a scent of your choosing. For best results: Use the same scent throughout this process.
5.) To add a touch of finesse, mist one’s tresses in Penhaligon’s Hair Perfume.
