Don Ed Hardy is a retired American tattooist, whose intricate designs were seen as the perfect launch pad by French designer Christian Audigier to create a mythology fit for a fragrance line. Audigier’s Ed Hardy-inspired range now boasts a wide variety of scents, encased in eye-popping bottle and box designs.

Love Kills Slowly is a fruity floral fragrance containing top notes of apple, mango, strawberry, and grapefruit; heart notes of freesia, watery muguet, and linden blossom; and base notes of amber, tonka bean, vanilla, and musk. We have the EDP available in 30, 50, and 100ml bottles.

Hearts & Daggers is available for both men and women. The masculine EDT combines top notes of pear, martini, and basil; heart notes of papaya, white pepper, and rosemary; and a base of suede, patchouli, and sandalwood, while the feminine EDP mixes top notes of blood orange, violet leaf, and gala apple; heart notes of mango, apple blossom, and pink jasmine; and base notes of cashmere wood, benzoin, musk, and amber.

For a perfect Christmas gift for the fashion conscious, check out the Ed Hardy make-up box, available in Love Kills Slowly and Geisha Blue varieties. Each set contains a plethora of lip colours, eye shadows, bronzer, and perfume, all in a display box that features a light-up stage mirror.
