I have many weaknesses understatement, that but my biggest one has to do with cleaning gizmos. I can turn my back on an iPhone, and recently did. Perfumes Joy Jean Patou and Chanel No. 5 excepting don’t do Jack for me; and those, as all my young hip friends keep reminding me, are my grandmother’s perfumes. I enjoy handbags, shoes and flirty cocktail dresses as well as the next gal but what really gets me salivating are cleaning gadgets.
I occasionally wonder why I am fascinated by cleaning gizmos, especially since I am not a very tidy person. I mean, it is not as if I live in a pile of rubbish or anything drastic like that. It is just that I can pick my way past discarded clothes, books and toys all littering the floor without breaking a step or sweat. I agree with my teenage nephew that bathing on a daily basis is hugely overrated; I don’t see the logic of making a bed particularly when you have to unmake it at day’s end. I am not particularly house-proud. But show me a new mop or a microfibre cloth that claims to pick up dust and my eyes light up. I cannot stop myself from becoming the latest sucker to succumb.

It requires supreme self-confidence to launch a new  scent with a name as grannyish as Rose. But chutzpah and style have characterised Paul Smith, a byword in British design, for more than 30 years.
Smith’s designs include shoes, watches, pens, furniture and, of course, fashion. That brings us to his latest offering. A mind as inventive as his would not rest after he was presented with a birthday present, the Paul Smith rose, created by his wife, Pauline, a few years ago.
