In my stocking, part 4: Fragrance by Organic Pharmacy

If I could have lived in any era other than this one, it would have been the modern period. I love the fashion, the literature and the art - as far as I'm concerned the girls of the 1920s-late 1930s got it right. And, if you know a special someone who's equally drawn to that Gatsby-inspired glamour look no further for the perfect Christmas gift for them. Organic Pharmacy's first range of fragrances evoke the modern age wonderfully. Not only are they good for the skin, the bottle is so Coco Chanel I feel like a Parisian flapper every time I take a spritz. This will be loved by the girl who still puts her make-up on at a dressing table wearing a beautiful kimono. Free from toxins, the rich quartet comes in Citron, Glam, Oriental Blossom and the currently revered Oud (£110 each). The latter is the ideal scent for heady winter's nights involving dancing, stockings and lots of red lipstick. 
And the perfect accompaniment? A copy of an F Scott Fitzgerald classic from the Penguin collection of art deco-inspired newly designed covers. Tender is the Night is the masterpiece everyone should have.
