I was in Toronto for “The Big” exhibition at ROM. As usual, I made a detour to Holt Renfrew.
After trying all the flats and heels, wondering around all the new collections, spending more money than I expected, I was leaving. But, I ended at the counter of Jo Malone.
Originated from United Kingdom, like a British noble, sophisticated, elegant but understated. Like its website states, “ orchestrates a world of bespoke luxury ... Jo Malone London is enduringly at the forefront of perfumery”.
Its fragrances are divided in 6 categories, which are normal for perfume: citrus, fruity light floral, floral, spicy and woody.
Citrus -
Lime Basil & Mandarin: a scent with freshness. A classic from both genders.
Grapefruit: one of my favorite fruits. You can also sense rosemary and vetiver from this awakening and uplifting blend.
Fruity -
Pomegranate Noir: I can feel the sophistication and silky texture from the combination of pomegranate with other fruits and spicy woods.
English Pear & Freesia: A scent that can capture the freshness of pears. As a pear-lover, I can picture myself wearing this scent during fall.
Nectarine Blossom & Honey: one of the best-seller and the signature blend. Delicious, sweet and seductive. I got a generous amount of cologne samples. Still, this is on my shopping list now.
Light Floral -
Red Roses: All I remember now is the ROSE from this one. It is composed of seven types of roses all over the world. A perfect Mother’s Day gift.
Floral -
Orange Blossom: This is my first scent purchased from Jo Malone London. I lighted it as soon as I got home. Love the scent of clementine leaves, orange blossom, and water lily. The sales told me, Kate Middleton, picked this one for her wedding!
Peony & Blush Suede: The newest member of Jo Malone London. Hasn’t been on the Canadian market yet. I’m wearing it all day since I got a sample cologne. (Again, thanks to the lovely sales.) Very sensual, flirtatious and seductive. Also on my shopping list!
Spicy -
Amber & Lavender: This one reminds me of Africa. Exotic but clean. After a long-day of safari, this is all you want.
Woody -
Wild Fig & Cassis: This truly wraps you into the warmth of Cassis, France and the Mediterranean. However, I’m not a fan of woody scent.
Above are all the scents I tried. I plan to purchase Nectarine Blossom & Honey and Peony & Blush Suede next time.
Tips
- remember to trim the wick
- allow it to burn long enough, so the wax can melt all the way to the edge
- remember to put the lid on
