BEAUTY
The right notes
Light, citrussy scents are ideal for sunny days. Our beauty expert sniffs out some of the best

Ionce had a rather awkward moment with Robert Pattinson. I'd been sent to LA to interview the screen idol about his role as the face of Dior Homme fragrance.Our encounter began promisingly enough in a sun-filled Beverly Hills suite. He was sweetly self-effacing and unfailingly polite (a bit like someone's 18-year-old son forced to sit next to you at a wedding).
It was all going so well until he began to talk about how powerfully he reacts to scent.
Because that's when I decided to introduce a note of light-hearted banter. 'Really? How do I smell, Robert?!' I laughed, assuming he'd chuckle 'Amazing, of course!' and then I'd reveal I too was wearing Dior, and he'd be so won over he'd say this was the best interview he'd ever done and definitely ask to be my friend.
