Feel like you're always missing out on the latest reheated fragments of yesterday's news, crumbs of tittle-tattle about C-list wannabes and bargain basement "lifestyle" hints?

Camilla - Le Parfum. This sophisticated fragrance from Duchy Originals has top notes inspired by a bottle of cologne that has been in the family since 1921, changing colour twice in that time. Beneath this are tweedy notes of wet dog, doggy notes of wet tweed, and hints of horse manure, stale Dunhills, and damp in general - it's the smell of aristocracy. A full gift set, in presentation welly, is available, including a rough flannel, horse shower gel, 10 Dunhill, worming tablets and "some land" in Devon.
This Isn't London is conceived and compiled by Will Wiles. This Isn't London will return, on Londonist, in the New Year.
