On the rare occasion that you get the house to yourself or the kids are fast asleep, relaxing with candles lighting is one of life’s little pleasures.
While any candle will do, we do have a huge grá for Jo Malone, both the scents and the candles, and that’s why this news got us very excited indeed.
On March 1, the much-loved fragrance brand launches a new collection and having looked at it personally, I can tell you it’s fabulous.
If I really, really, really had to pick, I’d opt for the Primrose & Rye (notes of mimosa which remind me of one of my favourites, Mimosa and Cardamom).
However, they’re all gorgeous, I’m also totally crazy about Poppy & Cornflower (a hint of hazelnut too, extremely yummy FYI)
The five scents are listed below with a brief description for each and the only problem you’ll have is choosing which scent to buy before they sell out.
Primrose & Rye is ‘filled with sunshine’ on a base of vanilla and rye.
Oat & Cornflower, a mix of corn owers, hazelnut and a vetiver base resulting in a warm, cosy scent.
Honey & Crocus, a super sweet concoction consisting of almond milk, crocuses, lavender and honey.
Poppy & Barley amounts to an unusual combination of blackcurrant, poppies, white musk, poppy and barley.
Green Wheat & Meadowsweet, in a word, fresh. Crisp wheat, meadowsweet and a zesty dash of grapefruit.
Master Perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui created the delicious scents and dedicated Jo Malone fans will be interested to know that she’s also the brains behind Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense and the limited-edition Holiday 2017 scent, Green Almond & Redcurrant.
