“The most wasted of days is one without laughter”-E.E Cummings.

Laughter, Space NK’s best selling fine fragrance, is available in a choice of indulgent gifts this holiday season. Rooted in Nicky Kinnaird’s personal memories of childhood, Laughter is an uplifting fragrance inspired by the Spanish Mediterranean Costa del Azahar, where the sun drenched orange groves sweep down to the sea.

Fresh citrus top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and lime are invigorated by the tonic effect of juniper berry, angelica root and verbena with refreshing aromatic notes of rosemary, fennel and coriander. The sensual woody base of patchouli, amber and musk is enlivened by a sweet, spicy bite of ginger.
