Author, model and all-round lifestyle guru India Hicks (she's one of the green goddesses mentioned in the new Green Beauty Bible) is pretty much posh and a half. Granddaughter of the last Viceroy of India and a bridesmaid at Princess Diana's wedding, she's got so much pedigree that she'd make you faint with jealousy - oh, and did I mention that she also lives an idyllic life on a Caribbean island, too? Sickner, or what?
But sure at least her new collaboration with beaut.ie faves Crabtree and Evelyn, to create a fragrance that's inspired by her home - Island Living, Tiger Lily EDP - means we can smell like her, if nothing else.
Hicks' favourite local flower is the aforementioned tiger lily, thanks to its tenacity - even during hurricanes it roots itself in the island's pink sand, and clings on for dear life. Whipped up with orange blossoms, night blooming jasmine and green leaves, plus touch of sea spray, the result is a fresh scent that's great for day or night.

Now, I haven't smelled it myself, but I have to say, it sounds gorgeous and right up my street. So I may crack the purse-strings, head to a stockist like Clerys and splurge the required €35.
