This week, we’ve welcomed Tom Ford into the Escentual Family. We’ve loved and appreciated Tom Ford for years – from his days as creative director at YSL and Gucci to the creation of his brand – so we’re proud to add some of his most iconic fragrances to our portfolio.

His fragrances are famously good, so we knew that you, our customers, would be just as excited as us when you found out that we were launching his collection of signature fragrances – and we were right!

The John Lewis Christmas Ad

Have you seen it yet? WARNING: Bring tissues! Team Escentual waited patiently for the release of the John Lewis Christmas ad, and we weren’t disappointed. In this year’s ad, a middle-aged man repeatedly trips up and fails when learning how to skateboard, all so he can find common ground with his new foster child! The end of the ad highlights that over 108,000 children in the UK are in the care system, and John Lewis is committing to taking better care of them.

See how we reacted when we first watched it…
