Scent in Haste

Robbie Honey Flowers

It’s 7 p.m. Your guests are due in half an hour. You’ve raided the supermarket. Raced home. You need to cook. Change. Create a sexy, lounge bar-esque environment. In minutes.

Without, apparently, the help of any flowers.

Don’t let such a bloomless fate be yours. Next time, order a ready-made bouquet straight to your door. London’s sexiest florist (and current Channel 5 TV star), Robbie Honey, will deliver fresh flowers for a lunch or dinner party, as well as a specially selected Dyptique candle to scent your home. Place both on the coffee table and your living room will be instantly transformed into a fragrant, Hempel-esque shrine of sophisticated cool.

Honey, who counts Hermès and Dior among his clients, will cater to whatever colour/fragrance scheme you want. Simply call the day before and he, or a member of his team, will arrive (anywhere in Central London) at a time to suit you.

Just remember to take that S Club 7 CD out of the player before anyone else arrives.
