Fans of gentle florals will enjoy the return of Jo Malone Osmanthus Blossom Cologne in the Blossoms collection

July 6, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

There was a time when I’d shy away from light, floral scents. I used to head straight for the strong, heady, spicy notes – the stronger, the better!

But then, my lifestyle changed, and so did my preference for scent.

I would have turned my nose up at a light floral scent like the Jo Malone Osmanthus Blossom Cologne in the past. But today, I tell myself “Give it a try. Everything deserves to be tried once!”

And really, when it comes to perfumes, that’s what you must do – give it a try 🙂

Harvested from English Fields we welcome a return of the Jo Malone Poppy & Barley Cologne

September 3, 2019 Paris B 4 Comments

Last year, Jo Malone London released one of their most beautiful, most eye-catching Brit collections ever – English Fields.

Evoking the sights and smells of the English countryside, and traditional baked goods, the perfumes were unique, friendly to the nose, and beautifully packaged. There was one that I predicted (quite correctly) to be the crowd favourite – Poppy & Barley.

Fast forward a year, and look what we have here! A permanent version of the Jo Malone Poppy & Barley cologne! 😀

Making sense of new scents: Jo by Jo Loves and Jo Loves Green Orange & Coriander

August 12, 2019 Paris B 2 Comments

We are all very familiar with Jo Malone London fragrances by now. It went from being a bit of a niche and cult brand, to one that is now fairly mainstream. But did you know that the lady who created the brand no longer helms it?

After Jo Malone sold her brand to the Estee Lauder Group, she later set up a new little brand – Jo Loves.

I got into Jo Malone London perfumes a little late, as compared to many other fans. There are scents I love from the brand, but there are also popular scents that I can’t identify with. It took me a while to find one that I love, but find it I did in the end.

With Jo Loves, despite never smelling them before, it was a little easier, and I find them a little familiar.

Chanel Paris-Riviera Perfume transports you to the French Riviera but only for a limited time!

I’ve recently opened myself to new opportunities and experiences, and it started with my taking one step – keeping an open mind. Sometimes, it means saying ‘Yes’ when you really feel like a ‘No’; but when you get home, you think “I’m glad I said ‘Yes’.”

So, what have these profound thoughts have to do with the Chanel Paris-Riviera perfume?

Everything 🙂
