FRAGRANCE
A Royally Inspired Scent
Channel the romance of an English country garden with the new fragrance from iconic British fragrance house Penhaligon’s. Daphne Bouquet launched this summer in collaboration with Highgrove Gardens, the picturesque gardens which surround the private home of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Following on from the success of Highgrove Bouquet, the latest addition to the Penhaligon’s British Tale collection is a floral aromatic eau de parfum created in support of His Majesty’s charity The King’s Foundation, with 10 per cent of proceeds going to supporting training programs in areas like heritage crafts, arts, horticulture, fashion, and sustainable food, benefiting thousands of students annually.
A tribute to the Daphne flower that is known to blossom in The Stumpery – a tranquil part of Highgrove Gardens that draws inspiration from the Victorian tradition of growing ferns between the cracks and crevices of mossy upturned tree stumps – this limited-edition eau de parfum is bursting with top notes of blackcurrant leaf, thyme oil and grapefruit oil; heart notes of lavender oil, Daphne accord, rose essence and absolute; and base notes of vetiver oil, moss, and cedarwood. Aromatic and radiant, we love it.

RETREAT
For the man who has everything… except inner peace
In a world where achievement is the ultimate benchmark, even the most successful men can feel quietly unfulfilled. The Unguarded Warrior Men’s Retreat is a new kind of wellness retreat, designed for high performers who appear to have it all, apart from internal peace.
Taking place at The Croft Farm Escape in Hertfordshire this September, the immersive three-day experience invites men to remove the armour of titles, pressure and expectation, and reconnect with their most authentic selves. Combining breath-work, honest conversation, nature immersion and proven mindset tools, the retreat offers a powerful reset. It’s not about switching off, but tuning in and moving beyond the external to uncover lasting clarity, presence, and purpose.
Guided by the wonderful James O’Keefe, founder of Unguarded Warrior, the programme is crafted to create real change – not just offering a break from life, but presenting a deeper way to live it – book your place now.
The retreat runs from 5–7 September at The Croft Farm Escape in Hertfordshire (thecroftfarmescape.com). For more details, and to book, see unguardedwarrior.com
