Yesterday, we escaped the humid London weather and stepped into Jo Malone‘s scented winter wonderland to preview this year’s festive offerings…
It was like walking into Narnia, it really got us excited about Christmas to come. The Jo Malone Townhouse had been transformed into a magical harlequin theatre, to reveal this year’s fragrant treasures from the luxury brand.. And oh my, it did not disappoint.
This time, Jo Malone got mischievous with a fabulous fantasy collection; with an extravagant banquet of their crackers and ornaments filled with scented delights. Their collection of candles, mini fragrances, body cremes and soaps came encased in this glorious gold and black harlequin print.
Let’s start with the biggest news of all; Jo Malone have created a brand new scent for Christmas! Orange Bitters Cologne radiates a winter’s cocktail; bitter, strong, with a zesty and sweet orange brightness. The fragrance had a sensual base of rich sandalwood and amber, which to us made it very unisex. It smelt different on our skins too, it was sweeter and citrusy on Krista whereas on me, slightly deeper and muskier. We fell in love with it that’s for sure and it’s a firm entry on our Christmas lists.
Available nationwide from October 2016.
Now this is a cracker and a half! This year – Jo Malone are adding a touch of customisation to their Ultimate Christmas Cracker, as you will be able to choose a Cologne, Candle, Body Creme and Body & Hand Wash of your choice. Create a generous gift for someone this year with this wonderfully bespoke treat. How gorgeous would this look under the Christmas tree?
Available from November 2016 from Selfridges and Brown Thomas, and nationwide from December 2016.
