Johnny Depp's scent was created by THIS woman... and now I'm wearing Old Books because of her

I don't often get starstruck. I'm of the opinion that everyone and their uncle gets starstruck around celebs so it does them good to have the occasional run in with an aloof personality. It's worked thus far in life. That being said, on Tuesday morning of this week, I was entirely starstruck by a woman who may not be easily recognisable, but is responsible for most of the delicious scents you take in on a daily basis on every street around the world. Azzi Glasser, award winning perfume designer, was in Harvey Nichols speaking to press about her latest project with Harvey Nichols. I sat and listened as she casually dropped names like Orlando Bloom (she just said "Orlando" and we all knew who she meant), Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy and Kate Moss, and that's just scratching the service.

FFG interiors: My Little London Flat Part 1, The Living Room

Six months ago I embarked upon a rather epic project in London - renovating a flat. Oh the lessons I have learned since that time. There are a few that stand out from the pack. For example, don't ever leave and think your contractors can handle things while you aren't there. Inevitably the arch you asked for will turn into a doorway flanked with Grecian style columns. Hey, they thought they would treat me to a little surprise instead of following the designs. Nice gesture, but I had this layout and look sorted with every detail from the tiles to coving and wasn't about to compromise. This house was to be a home and it was my first in London that I got to rip out entirely and build back up again from scratch.  In just two months, and a lot of pressure on the poor building team, Mr. FFG...
