STORE YOUR TREASURES
Ideal for your Arturo Fuente Opus X “A”s, or those Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserves you managed to nab, the Symphony humidor is available in a number of finishes (perhaps polished brass or black laquer with high gloss?), and comes lined in brass pipes simply because “it is always a pleasant experience to smoke a fine cigar while enjoying good music”. We concur.

A CENTURY OF TANK
Princess Diana, Andy Warhol and Jackie Kennedy – icons of the past century have all worn the iconic Cartier Tank, and in honour of the 100th anniversary, Cartier has released just 100 pieces of the Tank Cintrée Skeleton, available in pink gold or platinum. With a radically skeletonized, caliber 9917 MC manual movement, wearers can marvel at all the components at work, while the curved profile hugs the wrist in an elegant, contemporary fashion.

NEW SCENTSATION
Bitter orange and cardamom, nutmeg and pimento and gaic wood and vetiver are the heart, top and base notes in Salvatore Ferragamo’s newest fragrance in the Tuscan Soul collection. Spicy and intense, La Commedia is an homage to La Divinia Commedia (Divine Comedy) by Florentine poet Dante, though one spritz avoids the inferno and purgatory parts, taking wearers directly to paradiso.
