Because I am both a devout and long-serving Harry Styles fan and also chronically online, I’ve known about the Pleasing perfume rumours for a while. (If there’s one thing that fangirls are going to keep track of, its trademark registrations.) But that doesn’t mean that they’re any less exciting — […]
