I alternate between a few scents. I love Oribe Côte d'Azur Eau de Parfum and both the Wild Bluebell and Wood Sage and Sea Salt Colognes by Jo Malone.", A five-star shopper echoed the Duchess' sentiments, gushing: " I'm LOVING this scent. It is so beautiful and sophisticated ; it is unlike any other scent I've worn. Jo Malone has hit the nail on the head with this perfume: it really does make you feel like you're walking on a beautiful sandy beach." However, one common thread in the reviews for this cologne is its lack of longevity, with one customer who purchased the fragrance expressing: " Was quickly disappointed when I wore it the first day and it lasted all of 2 hours. For the price of this cologne, it should stay on ALL day. Not happy at all." The hand cream featured in this festive set tantalises with a fruity aroma and is crammed with nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and clary sage extract. Meanwhile, the Lime Basil and Mandarin Body and Hand Wash creates a lavish foam for purifying the skin, thanks to its naturally derived glycerine and meadowfoam seed oil complexion, promising to leave you with an invigorating scent all day. Although the Christmas cracker has only just been released as a limited edition item, it's already making waves among buyers, with two glowing five-star reviews that tout it as the ' great little stocking stuffer'. Another satisfied customer shared: "Just the right size for a lovely Christmas gift for a dear friend festive present." You can snag the Limited Edition Jo Malone Christmas Cracker right here.

Use These Wishlist Apps to Make Your Holiday Shopping Stress FreeThe world approved a bitterly negotiated climate deal Sunday committing wealthy historic polluters to $300 billion annually for poor and vulnerable nations that had demanded far more to confront the crisis of global warming. After two exhaustive weeks of chaotic bargaining and sleepless nights, nearly 200 nations banged through the contentious finance pact in the early hours beneath a sports stadium roof in Azerbaijan. Nations had struggled to reconcile long-standing divisions over climate finance. Sleep-deprived diplomats, huddled in anxious groups, were still revising the final phrasing on the plenary floor before the deal passed. At points, the talks appeared on the brink of collapse, with developing nations storming out of meetings and threatening to walk away should rich nations not cough up more cash. In the end -- despite repeating that no deal is better than a bad deal -- they did not stand in the way of an agreement, despite it falling well short of what they want. The final deal commits developed nations to pay at least $300 billion a year by 2035 to help developed countries green their economies and prepare for worse disasters. That is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire -- and from the $250 billion proposed in a draft Friday. That offer was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded at least $500 billion to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. A number of countries have accused Azerbaijan, an authoritarian oil and gas exporter, of lacking the experience and will to meet the moment, as the planet again sets temperature records and faces rising deadly disasters. Wealthy countries and small island nations have also been concerned by efforts led by Saudi Arabia to water down calls from last year's summit to phase out fossil fuels. The United States and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. The final draft encouraged developing countries to make contributions on a voluntary basis, reflecting no change for China which already pays climate finance on its own terms. Wealthy nations said it was politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. bur-np-sct/lth/jj
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Deshawn Purdie threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to O'Mega Blake for the go-ahead score and Charlotte defeated Florida Atlantic 39-27 on Saturday in a game that matched two new interim coaches.
