Not since Molton Brown's Geranium Nefertum have I spritzed a scent and really really liked it. I think that my nose has gone on strike, to a certain extent - it's not that it can't smell things, it just doesn't really get that excited anymore. Not much tickles my...
Strange coincidences aplenty this week, one of them being that I needed an extra "something that smells of violets" for a post and along came - well - something that smells of violets. I have this odd habit, when it comes to compiling blog posts, that I can't just...
Oh dear. I do sometimes think that Jo Malone gets far too much attention from me in comparison to other fragrance-makers; as a brand, they are kind of like a very cute and confident little girl that can't be ignored. You know that type of impossibly pretty,...
*UPDATE: a few people having trouble with the landing site at Jo Malone. It's working for me (13:00hrs on Monday) but I see that it's for UK residents only. That could be the trouble! I didn't realise, sorry about that.* In one month's time, Jo Malone London release...
One for the lovers of light, pretty florals: Jo Malone's Osmanthus Blossom cologne. Picture a spring picnic laid out on the lawn; peach melba, apricot tart, a sparkling wine poured into long-stemmed glasses - perhaps a scoop or two of a sherbety orange sorbet curled...
Everything has gone a bit London crazy this year, what with the Jubilee and the Olympics. I have avoided all "Union Flag" memorabilia like the plague, but I do very much like the hand-drawn London Landmark idea at Jo Malone. From the 27th July, artists will be...
Smart new products in Jo Malone's 'Home' range: Scent Diffusers and Room Sprays. Available in the classic Red Roses, Pomegranate Noir and Lime Basil & Mandarin, they come smartly packaged and expensively bottled. The glass scent diffuser is extremely heavy and the...
Last month Jo Malone launched a new collection based on very modern floral scent combinations, with a few unusual elements thrown in. There are three 100ml Colognes; Peony & Moss, White Lilac & Rhubarb and Iris & Lady Moore. I like that they have gone a...
Most crackers contain a paper hat, a joke and a mini screwdriver set. On the other end of the spectrum we have Jo Malone's covetable Christmas Crackers. They contain a Grapefruit Cologne (9ml) and 'treat' sizes of the Pomegranate Noir body creme and Basil Lime &...
Jo Malone recently released a new range - Wild Bluebell - which includes a cologne, a home candle and a body wash and crème. It's a pretty unusual fragrance, but one that I have been dousing myself in on a daily basis nonetheless. This seems to be my preferred...
A while back I wrote about the super-sexy Tom Ford candle and lamented that there were so few candles that fit into my mid-century modern designed home. If you want to read that post then click HERE. I have found another! Jo Malone's Lime, Basil and Mandarin Candle...
I think that the new collection from Jo Malone is just lovely; it's called My Wanderlust and the scent combinations have been inspired by the travels of the brand's style director, fashion stylist Charlotte Stockdale. There's a Night Jasmine & Oregano linen spray...
