Ah, Byredo’s Eyes Closed – it’s a lifesaver when you’re wanting to impress but your ideas are stinkin’ worse than a week-old haggis. With top notes of cinnamon and cardamom, it’s confusing enough to distract from any creative disaster. Carrot in perfume? Aye. It’s like wearing a kilt to a nightclub. It’s a scent that says, ‘I might not have it all together, but at least I smell like I do.’ It’s both comforting and cocooning – much like my delusions of grandeur.

I can’t go without Creed’s Pocket Atomiser. I took it everywhere this summer, from Tokyo to Genoa. Fragrance is evocative, and I wear it to match my mood, but the right scent can also actually get me into character for my performances. That’s why the atomiser is handy – it helps me stay focused and smelling gorgeous.

My commute to work is by bike so I have to ensure I’m counteracting all of that London pollution with a quality moisturiser. I use Weleda’s natural skincare. We started using the Skin Food moisturiser for our daughters when they were babies and the whole family has been hooked on it ever since. It’s totally organic and deeply nourishing without feeling heavy or oily.
