Scents and signature facials …

THE NEW STORE
We’re planning a trip to Winthrop Arcade in Co Cork to visit new perfume boutique, Republic of Oud, specialising in that intriguing, precious ingredient. There are plenty of sultry brands to discover here, for those keen to discover scents that are individual and arresting, rather than mainstream. @republicofoud

THE TRAVEL SCENT
Grove bath oil, a luxurious blend by UK-based designer Laura Butler-Madden, is a decadent treat and a beautiful gift. Its scent is subtle, fresh and gentle, with hints of a dewy green garden via wild notes of chamomile, petitgrain, linden and neroli. We recommend the eau de parfum version, available in a travel size from €31.95.
