1 hour ago Sali Hughes on beauty: If you like sweet scents, now is the time to pop your cherry

These fruity numbers are going viral. They are not for me but if cherry is your jam, you are spoiled for choiceI love the idea of cherry fragrances – I find the fruit, its aesthetic, the juicy, sharp taste and depth of colour appealing. But even now, as cherry perfumes go viral – some fine examples among them – I can’t quite find one that maintains the sourness while holding the sugar. But if, unlike me, you favour a sweet scent, there’s never been a better time to pop one’s cherry.Top of the tree is Van Cleef & Arpels’ new Moonlight Cherry. I approached with trepidation, but stayed for the bitter espresso notes and the sexy whiff of plump, boozy cocktail cherries steeping in the bottom of a glass, swollen from hard liquor. Elegant and complex, this smells very expensive (and at £164, albeit for a large 75ml bottle, it is), gender neutral and distinctly “black tie” in dress code. I doubt I’ll be wearing it myself (I’ve never had a sweet tooth), but if&nb...

2 h. ago Hallow Road review – Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys race to rescue daughter in cracking thriller

Shot almost entirely inside their car, Pike and Rhys play a splintering couple trying to save their terrified teenagerHow encouraging that whatever state our film industry is considered to be in, it can still find space for a crackingly good script from a supersmart, disciplined first-timer who’s clearly been working on it for a while, planing down the edges and trimming away the fat through successive drafts. Hallow Road is the kind of property that often emerges after a spell on Hollywood’s “Black List” of much admired but as yet unproduced screenplays. It is a gripping, real-time suspense thriller with a twist of the macabre, a film about family guilt and the return of the repressed, written by National Film and Television School graduate William Gillies, a scary-movie enthusiast who here makes his feature script debut. British-Iranian film-maker Babak Anvari directs and Matthew Rhys and Rosamund Pike give forthright, excellent performances as the two leads.Rhys plays Frank, a st...
