Jo Malone will launch The Herb Garden, a new limited edition collection of five fragrances: Sorrel & Lemon Thyme, Wild Strawberry & Parsley, Nasturtium & Clover, Carrot Blossom & Fennel and Lavender & Coriander. All were inspired by “the aromatic artistry of herbs”…
It’s Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day — but either way, we’re kicking off our annual string of holiday gift posts. Today: scent-related Christmas Crackers. As with advent calendars, they’re more popular in the UK than the US, but there are plenty to be found everywhere this year. More gift suggestions to come over the next few weeks!
Jo Malone’s 2015 Christmas Cracker: “Delight dinner guests with our Christmas Cracker, full of scented surprises. Tart-juicy Blackberry & Bay Cologne. Reviving Lime Basil & Mandarin Body & Hand Wash. Opulent Peony & Blush Suede Body Crème. Tied with mistletoe green ribbon to set the table with style.” $45 at Bergdorf Goodman…
Jo Malone will launch Orris & Sandalwood, a new unisex fragrance in the Cologne Intense Collection, in January. The scent was inspired by the iris root of Tuscany…
More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US. Today’s post includes collector editions from Jo Malone, Victoria’s Secret and Viktor & Rolf; plus a new Parfum concentration of Elizabeth Arden Untold.
From Jo Malone, a limited edition of Incense & Cedrat. £120 for 100 ml at Jo Malone in the UK…
We won’t start our “official” series of holiday gift posts until Black Friday, but since advent calendars tend to sell out quickly, we’re posting those early this year. (Please note that many of these calendars are not available in the US. Clearly they like Advent calendars in the UK more than in the US).
From Lush, the 12 Days of Christmas: “Draw the curtains and build up the fire, allowing a wintry tale to unfold. Between these pages, an Avobath offers uplifting clarity of thought, a creamy Butterbear waits to offer softening cuddles and Cinders warms herself by a crackling cinnamon leaf fire. Snow Angel melts on high, revealing fruity cassie and gorgeous rose absolute. Santa dashes through the snow, whereas Holly Golightly likes to Celebrate with a warming dose of Yog Nog. Don’t confine these festive characters to your page, bring them to life for 12 magical days.” £50 at Lush UK. (Last year this did launch in the US…)
