Succession's "ludicrously capacious bag" "What's even in there? Huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it's monstrous. It's gargantuan. You could take it camping.

(And can be yours for $31.99 – or around £26 plus shipping.) 10.

Opulent and sexy, with a sensual combination of rose, jasmine, fruity accords, vanilla, musk and wood… think gourmand with a whiff of grown-up glamour.
