You can’t fail to impress with Jo Malone with its decadent packaging and amazing fragrances, and this Christmas gift set is no exception. The Jo Malone Cologne Collection (£64) is a set of five of her best loved fragrances: Lime Basil & Mandarin, English Pear & Freesia, Blackberry & Bay, Peony & Blush Suede and Amber & Lavender. At time of purchase, I smelt all of these fragrances and they are all delectable, of course there are some that I like more than others but there are none that I would turn my nose up at. They are all of the upmost quality and would look so pretty on a dressing table or equally popped in your handbag!
Here is a description of the fragrances included in this set as described by Jo Malone:
Lime Basil & Mandarin is Jo Malone’s signature scent and is a personal favourite (along with Nectarine Blossom & Honey!). Peppery basil and aromatic white thyme bring an unexpected twist to the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze. A modern classic.
English Pear & Freesia The essence of autumn. The sensuous freshness of just-ripe pears is wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, patchouli and woods. A luscious and golden scent.
Blackberry & Bay A burst of deep, tart blackberry juice, blending with the freshness of just-gathered bay and brambly woods. A vibrant and verdant fragrance.
Peony & Blush Suede Peonies in voluptuous bloom, exquisitely fragile. Flirtatious with the juicy bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and gillyflower. Mingling with the sensuality of soft, blush suede. Luxurious and seductive.
Amber & Lavender Classic male perfumery, refined. French lavender and petitgrain bring a fresh luminosity to precious amber. Cultivated and cosmopolitan.
Each fragrance can be warn alone or combined with another to create another unique fragrance, there is even a little guide included to help you with this. These colognes all come packaged in the classic Jo Malone cream and black box, tied up with a striped ribbon and decorated especially for Christmas. This would look amazing under any Christmas tree and I would be ecstatic if I were to receive this! It is just beautiful.
