Scents from Madrid

Further expanding our "Gentleman's Quarter", we have an inexpensive delight from Madrid in the form of Alvarez Gomez - Agua de Colonia Concentrada. Celebrating its 100th year on the market, but only its 1st year in the UK, this invigorating cologne based on the scents of Mediterranean flowers, plants and fruits is a zesty, refreshing delight.



The opening is a fizz bomb of lemon and orange blossom...
carried by herbs (think sage & mint). It tickles the nose with the same sparkling effervescence as a freshly poured gin and tonic. Then comes a satisfying hit of lavender, rose and vanilla to soften the edges. A combination which has clearly stood the test of time!
Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia 150ml spray : £27.95 @ Pierrot et Coco

Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia 750ml £59 @ Pierrot et Coco - looks like a big bottle of gin, perfect for those who really love the fragrance and like to decant into travel sprays and room sprays

 Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia 150ml Spray Deodorant £7.95 @ Pierrot et Coco. Ensure your scent is the same from head to toe by using the same fragrance of deodorant spray.
Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia useful perfumed towelettes/wipes, come in a box of 10 individually sealed sachets, perfect for freshening up throughout the day. £3.95 @ Pierrot et Coco

 Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Boxed Soap - two large bars in a lovely presentation box. £10.95 @ Pierrot et Coco


Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia candle 120g - a beautiful votive with gold design around the glass holds a wonderfully scented candle, with a dose of vanilla on top of the citrus fragrance. £18.50 @ Pierrot et Coco

New season's Happy Socks

This is our favourite pattern from the new autumn/winter season's Happy Socks. It's proving difficult to choose which colourway to go for!

Expansion of our 'Gentlemen's Quarter'

As we add more products to create a proper 'Gentlemen's Quarter' at Pierrot et Coco, we have gone for a decidedly English brand with Mayfair's D.R. Harris.
Our focus is on the Arlington range, at the centre of which sits a fine gentlemanly cologne that first hits you with a stimulating burst of lemony citrus. This is immediately sliced through by fresh, green ferns and a light neroli and musk. The citrus note last surprisingly long and sits alongside the woody, fougere notes for the duration of its projection.

Often considered the British Acqua Di Parma, this classic, refined and discreet fragrance is never intrusive and leaves you with an overall sense of refreshment. 

Everything is in stock and available for next-day delivery within the UK and fast worldwide delivery.

We currently have a wider range that the items shown (we also have best badger shaving brushes and shampoo bar in metal tin) and we're always happy to offer advice if you're not quite sure what to go for.

D.R. Harris Arlington Cologne 50ml spray £24.50 @ Pierrot et Coco

D.R. Harris Arlington Bath & Shower Gel 100ml £9.95 @ Pierrot et Coco

D.R. Harris Arlington Bath Soap -  Large 200g £10.95 @ Pierrot et Coco
D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Cream in Bowl - 150g Jar £14.95 @ Pierrot et Coco

D. R. Harris Arlington Shaving Cream tube 75g : £8.95 @ Pierrot et Coco

D.R. Harris soothing Lip Balm 7.5g : £3.95 @ Pierrot et Coco
 

Baby Rabbit Lamp

We've wanted these vintage style baby rabbit lamps for such a long time at Pierrot et Coco. Eventually we got round to adding to our kitsch lamp collection and now have these incredibly cute lamps in stock.

Modelled on a vintage Japanese toy, it has 1940's looks, with a kiss curl peeping out of the bunny hood, and little drawn on eye-brows like the film stars of the day.

Hand painted with a sage green or white all-in-one sleepsuit, the lamp reveals a cheeky side with a little bare bottom peeping out.

When lit gives off a mottled light, bright enough to read a book by and gentle enough to drift off to sleep when it's on.

Gold mugs - important news

We have some gold mugs (as seen on Celebrity Big Brother) en route to us now and they will be packed and sent to the first batch of lucky customers who bought. The second lot is due with us mid September and a 3rd lot in October and these will go out to those who have reserved or bought in advance.

However, we have just heard we cannot receive any more until late December/mid January, so it looks likely that anyone who has not yet bought will be unable to secure a delivery of these before the end of the year.

We're really disappointed as we know how much you love these mugs! You are welcome to add your name to the waiting list, however, and if we manage to receive some sooner, or anyone cancels their order, we can move you up the queue.

We're happy to help with any queries (shop closed Monday and Tuesday) but open Wednesday to Saturday 11am until 5pm and Sunday 12noon- 4pm. You can email : info@pierrotetcoco.com for a fast reply or telephone 0141 649 2489 and we'll assist in any way we can.

We should have stock of the silver porcelain mugs much sooner - with limited stocks available too!

We'll have shaving soaps, brushes, creams, balms, bath soaps, shower gels, colognes...from Mayfair barbershops to Californian companies, and new stock of the beautifully packaged Ortigia range from Italy, we're convinced we've found some of the best. Add to this, the new collection of Happy Socks from Sweden and a few surprise homeware and lifestyle buys, the men at Pierrot et Coco will be more than adequately catered for!

We'll have highlights of some of our favourite choices as soon as they're in-store and online!
