When the Queen of Luxury & Indulgence sends out royal invitations..it's best to RSVP, clear your schedule and attend. So....this weekend had me feeling rather royal when invited to a fabulous pamper session at the gorgeous Jo Malone Boutique store in Canal Walk. An experience which had me reminiscing about my trip to London, and that certain British class that cannot be bottled, or so I thought.
We were welcomed by the chic & fabulous Jo Malone stylists, and served delish coffee and chocolates before settling down and treated to a hand and arm massage using the delicious cremes and heavenly colognes from the TASTING BAR.
The stylists are very knowledgable about the products and I used that as a guide when choosing my lotions and beauty potions. After having an invigorating Vitamin E sugar scrub, I 'ordered' the Red Roses bath oil, which when added to the water dissolved into a milky wash leaving no oily residue. This was followed by a Lime & Mandarin body and hand wash, the Nutmeg & Ginger body creme and lastly the Wild Bluebell cologne.
What's great is that all these fragrances can be applied in your preferred combination and layered to create your personalised scent. How POSH spice is that!
Now I adore the smell of Saffron (NOT pronounced Safram!) and wasn't too sure how this would be interpreted into a fragrance, but the Cologne Intense Range just blew my mind. Think alluring middle eastern notes of rose, amber, Kyara wood and oud infusions, to name but a few. Nothing remotely close to the overpowering oud I was accustomed to. The Jo Malone fragrances are everything you never expected fragrances to be.
Understated..'Timeless and elegant..but always infused with a charming dash of wit and whimsy' - mmmm sounds familiar.
Pop by their boutique stores in V&A Waterfront and Canal Walk to create your signature fragrance, or just spoil yourself with one of those scented candles which I'm so crushing on. Hugs and kisses to Raeesa and Nazley at the Canal Walk store for the wonderful experience, and to the talented artist Stephen Kulp who sent us home with a beautiful hand painted Jo Malone gift box.
Fab Monday everyone..xx
