Let the Jo Malone White Moss and Snowdrop cologne ground you amidst all that sparkles this festive season

December 6, 2018 Paris B 8 Comments

Each year, Jo Malone London launches a special edition fragrance for the Christmas season. Last year, it was the Green Almond and Redcurrant cologne. This year, Christmas brings around the Jo Malone White Moss and Snowdrop cologne.

Truth to tell, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

While I love smelling the smell of Christmas around me, I much rather not wear it, thank you. The smell of Christmas to me is everything we have been taught is symbolic of Christmas – the woody resin notes of pine cones, the warm spiciness of mulled wine, the smoky smells of a crackling fire, the crisp winter air, gingerbread cookies!

None of which is present here in hot, muggy, rainy, squelchy Malaysia.

Sigh. LOL! 😀

So I approached Jo Malone White Moss & Snowdrop with a touch of trepidation. Was it going to evoke all these images of a White Christmas that jars terribly with my warm (currently wet) surroundings?

Hello Honey! Let’s traipse into an English garden to smell the fresh new Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana cologne

October 12, 2018 Paris B Leave a Comment

Jo Malone releases a brand new scent each year (sometimes, a few times a year) and last year’s autumnal scent was a big hit for me! This year, when I saw that the new scent is the Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana cologne, my heart fell a little.

jo malone honeysuckle & davana cologne

Honeysuckle, as the name implies, is very sweet in scent. If there’s one type of scent that I abhor, it is that of a sticky, sweet, floral. Not for me!

But I was curious as to what “Davana” was. I’d never heard of it, so I looked it up. Davana, as it turns out, is an aromatic herb (Artemisia Pallens), cultivated to harvest its oil, which is used as essential oil then used in perfumes. It is supposed to smell sweet and fruity, but smells different on different people. So, now you know what Davana is! 😀

But more interestingly, how does the Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana cologne smell?

Tip: Enjoy a luxury perfume for less by using the body wash and bring a little luxury into your everyday

April 25, 2018 Paris B 8 Comments

This is a little tip I stumbled upon rather by accident quite a few years ago. It was helpful for me, and I reckoned some of you might benefit from it too because it’s a bit of a money saver as well!

It goes like this.

jo malone body wash, dior j'adore shower cream, atelier cologne body wash

You know how expensive perfumes can be? Yeah, I saw you wince. Many of us would like to own that Jo Malone, or Diptyque, or Dior, or Chanel fragrance, but find it hard to part with so much money up front. Or perhaps you aren’t sure if it’s a scent you’d love after you spring so much money on it.

Here’s my tip for you.

Buy the shower gel or body wash. “But isn’t that terribly decadent?” I hear you say. Yes, it is. But there’s a method to my madness 😛 Hear me out!

Harvest an armful of wildflowers and grain in the evocative Jo Malone English Fields Cologne Collection

March 12, 2018 Paris B 6 Comments

Sometimes, the universe works in mysterious ways, as was just proven to me very recently. I’d come across news about the new, limited edition Jo Malone English Fields cologne collection online from UK bloggers who’d had first dibs at them. What caught my eye were the bottles. While soft pastel shades aren’t very representative of me, nor are they shades I gravitate to, I was still enamoured by the aesthetic. It was so simple, yet eye catching.

I then shared about it in my monthly newsletter. 2 days later, a picnic basket landed on my doorstep.

Nestled within, amongst a selection of delicious baked goods, was the Jo Malone English Fields cologne collection! To say that I was surprised was an understatement. Try shocked, or even gobsmacked, or just plain ol’ speechless!

Each year, Jo Malone London puts out a limited edition Brit cologne collection curated around something traditionally English. While they have covered desserts and stately homes, one of my favourites must be the one they did about Rain. Oh yes, rain is so quintessentially English! I didn’t manage to get my hands on it, because it sold out quickly (and there was only 1 store back then I disliked going into) but I remembered it, and I hope they bring it back so I can grab them!

This year, the collection is English Fields, yet something very quintessentially English. They picked a combination of flowers and grain that are so entrenched in the English countryside, bringing to mind brightness of colour combined with the earthiness of grains, and making it something quite special.

I’ll describe it to you the best I can, but I’m told that this collection is selling out VERY fast, which I believe is more to do with its aesthetics than scent. Let me tell you why 😉

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
