Thank you @ellierdavis @britishvogue for the feature 💕 “Sam McKnight has given the people what they want by transforming the signature scent of his haircare products into a fragrance that you can spritz directly onto the strands. Not only does it impart the aroma, but it is boosted with conditioning ingredients like Pro Vitamin B5 as well as UVA and UVB protection. The fragrance itself was created to reflect an English garden, specifically the hairstylist’s own legendary outdoor oasis. It has notes of green leaf, herbs, water lily, pepper and frankincense, with a woody base of juniper and cedarwood. The light mist is not invisible once sprayed. It does add texture, so it assists in locking in your style, all while lightly infusing the strands with the aroma. It’s subtle, but you can catch whiffs of it for hours after. The bottle is small enough to stash in your bag too for top-ups as needed.” - Ellie Davis Sometimes the best things are worth the wait. Shop The Fragrance with Benefits NOW!🛒✨ #HairbySamMcKnight
