Ideal for wardrobes, furniture, cars or offices, solid perfume is made from vegetal wax. Presented in « caviar boxes », it diffuses a discreet scent for several months."

Bottom right, Uluru Shower Gel ("Take time to escape into the embrace of these Aussie sunset-painted, lemon lathers. Warming sandalwood blends with zesty Brazilian orange and lemon myrtle oils...Smother yourself in sunshine and let it transport you to Uluru at dusk.") Argh.
