Jo Malone’s festive fragrance for 2017 is just beautiful

Jo Malone's festive fragrance

Dreamy.

I’ve been raving about this pink bottle of loveliness after seeing it on social media a couple of weeks back and finally had the chance to check it out in person at the Jo Malone Christmas press preview this week.

It’s pretty much the perfect shade of pink, limited-edition which ups the must-have-now factor and contains a completely new fragrance, Green Almond & Redcurrant.

Jo Malone’s festive fragrance for 2017 is priced at €100 for 100ml so not cheap but that size will last a long time and let’s be honest, you’ll be holding on that Instagram-perfect bottle long after you’ve run out.

At this point, you’re probably wondering what it smells like and after spritzing it, I can tell you that it’s warm and woody, with sandalwood and tonka bean offset by the lightness of green mandarin and sharp redcurrant.

If you’re looking for a chance to start your festive wishlist early, note I can’t say that word just yet, then this is your chance to get ahead of the posse.

The candle-obsessed ladies among us will love the fact that this scent is also available as a candle too, complete with perfect pink and green striped packaging.

The Green Almond & Redcurrant Ceramic Candle is €150 and would make a pretty fab gift if you’re feeling flush that is.

Both the perfume and the candle launch nationwide on the 23rd October and something tells me they won’t stick around for long.
