T imeless elegance, unique fragrances and a quintessentially British style is what makes the Jo Malone collections stand the test of time. High-quality ingredients that are unexpected and whimsically put together create a satisfying and pleasurable result. Combining the talents in London with master perfumers from around the world, the Jo Malone brand continues to evolve and keep its finger on the pulse of modern yet classic offerings for their loyal followers. From zesty citrus and juicy fruits through to blooming florals and heady spices, there are plenty of notes to choose from in creating your perfect scent. All of the JoMalone colognes are as individual as their wearer but, with the option to combine fragrances, you can truly create a bespoke cocktail to suit your personality. Layering your scents will increase its potency, longevity and complex tones. Starting with a body crème in a complimentary scent will create a perfect base for the cologne you choose to spritz on top. This will intensify its end result whilst also giving the fragrance something to adhere to. This concept of JoMalone’s ‘Fragrance Combining’ can also be applied to our homes. With the extensive choices available in candles, diffusers and room sprays, you canmake any space in your house a fragrant paradise. All of these options tomake your world amore pleasurable environment are neatly wrapped up in Jo Malone’s signature gift wrapping service. With every purchase from their stores worldwide or online shopping service, the iconic cream and black boxes will house your new products beautifully, all tied up with a bow. One of the signature fragrances from JoMalone is the bestselling ‘Lime Basil &Mandarin’. Used by both women and men, for bath, body and home, this is a luxury classic that has been around since the birth of the brand. Peppery basil and aromatic white thyme mix together to then combine with the fresh lime, creating a smell like no other. An example of ‘Fragrance Combining’ with this choice would be to layer it with ‘Grapefruit’ to uplift the senses or ‘PomegranateNoir’ to deepen its finish. Available in colognes, bath products, body crème, shampoos & conditioners, candles, roomdiffusers and sprays, the choices are endless. A new addition to the ‘Cologne Intense’ range is ‘Saffron’. With the natural strength of golden saffron intertwining with incense and guaiac wood, it’s then balanced with a base of blonde wood, amber and musk. All together they give rise to a vibrant and seductive fragrance. Launched this summer and staying within the collection, encased in JoMalone’s unique black and silver bottles to differentiate, ‘Saffron Cologne Intense’ is ideal for a more alluring summer scent that will take you through to the cooler seasons. The new and exciting launch for Jo Malone in September 2013 is the delicious-sounding ‘Peony &Blush Suede’. English fashion and portrait photographer Sir Cecil Beaton inspires the collection. He also was a painter and interior designer, and deservedly won Academy Awards for his stage and costume designs for films like ‘My Fair Lady’. This new fragrance is aimed to bridge the gap between haute couture and cologne. It is a full floral scent with the top note of crisp red apple, a heart note of peony and the unexpected element of suede within its base. A concoction of plush ingredients, it is designed to be both decadent and sensual. The super antioxidant powers of Vitamin E are the key to Jo Malone’s skincare success. In its element, Vitamin E has the ability to absorb into cell membranes and prevent oxidative damage. This protection is important not just for facial features but for our bodies as a whole. To boost our skin’s resilience against harmful radical elements will therefore slow down our ageing process and impart a natural glow. Sun damage is a major factor in harming our bodies and we can hinder this process by using products rich in Vitamin E. Age spots can be reduced, wrinkles diminished and protection against scarring is increased whilst also deeply moisturising dry and rough skin. Jo Malone offers this ingredient in the form of facial gel, hand and body treatments as well as a lip conditioner. The newest addition to the family this year is the ‘Vitamin EEye Crème’. The delicate skin around your eye area is ten times thinner that that of your face and therefore needs to be handled with care. Ingredients like white tea and white tea birch bark extract helpwith the first signs of ageing and reduce appearance of dark circles. Caffeine, murumuru butter and avocado ensure the area is intensely hydrated but not overloaded. As the Jo Malone team believes, ‘E is for Everyday’ – and there are plenty of ways for us to comply with this mantra in this exceptional collection. As soon as you’re presented with a Jo Malone package, it is a tranquil moment in time. Unraveling the ribbon, opening the box and parting the tissue paper, you’re continually being invited into an exclusive and beautiful world. Revealing what product you’ll be using in your life is an experience like no other. To enrich your home with a unique fragrance, spritz your body with an original cologne or envelop your skinwith nourishing crèmes, each is a delightful journey to last forever in yourmemory. To escape and unwind, stimulate and heighten, all of your senses will be triggered whilst your mind, body and soul cherishes the results.
