Happy Anniversary to me! Look what I got...
Jo Malone Perfume
It all smells like everything beautiful. I love mixing all the different fragrances. So far, I've mixed the Lime, Basil, Mandarin with the Orange Blossom and it smelled so pretty. Today I wore a warmer fragrance, the Blue Agava and Cacao mixed with the Orange Blossom. It smells lovely too! I love playing with all of them to make pretty smells!
The big bottle I got is the French Lime Blossom...here's the description.
"Inspired by a stroll along the Champs Élysées, French Lime Blossom is a romantic, full-bodied floral. The scent of sweet lime blossoms with a twist of bergamot and tarragon is evocative of the first day of spring."
It just mostly reminds me of spring flowers. Lilac bushes in particular.
The long box holds 6 smaller bottles, hence the mixing! Here are all the scents in the box...
Amber & Lavender Cologne
Created as an anniversary gift to Jo's husband, Amber & Lavender embodies the warmth of an embrace. Amber, the exotic scent of the Orient, is combined with the comfort of French lavender and myrrh to evoke the subtle, spicy warmth of twilight.
Grapefruit Cologne
Instantly awakening the senses, Grapefruit is a lively, uplifting citrus with a spicy heart. Grapefruit and tangerine are combined with vetiver and rosemary to create this outspoken citrus that seamlessly journeys from morning tennis to business lunch and on to evening cocktails.
Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne
Reminiscent of the scent of limes carried on a Caribbean sea breeze, Lime Basil & Mandarin has become a modern classic for men and women. Fresh limes and zesty mandarins are undercut by peppery basil and aromatic white thyme in this alluring signature blend.
Pomegranate Noir Cologne
This sophisticated scent was inspired by a red silk dress and the intriguing character of pomegranate. Pomegranate Noir combines the sweet fruity notes of raspberry, plum, pink pepper and pomegranate with patchouli, frankincense and spicy woods to create a scent that’s sensual, totally sophisticated and utterly compelling.
Blue Agava & Cacao Cologne
Inspired by the rhythm and vibrancy of Latin music, a sparkling citrus melody of lime and grapefruit leads to an exquisite heart of the blue agava flower. A sensual blend of vetiver, cinnamon and the primitive rawness of cacao, make an unexpected and surprising harmony.
Orange Blossom Cologne
The scent of clementine leaves in the morning dew sparkles above a heart of orange blossom and water lily, transporting the wearer to a garden oasis.
If you find it near you, go smell away...it will put spring right in your nose!
We celebrated our Anniversary last week because Steve's been out of town in California, and will be gone for most of the day Monday (our real anniversary). He did find us a place to live there though! He will get back here, and we'll pack up and head West. We should arrive in California on Easter...a new beginning.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to those of you who are Irish...and would like to be Irish today. And Happy Anniversary to the One I Love!
