I forgot that I’ve actually never posted about one of my favourite purchases of this year. It was the Jo Malone Christmas Cologne set which was a present from myself for myself 😉
I’ve got Lime Basil & Mandarin, Grapefruit, Pomegranate Noir, Red Roses, Orange Blossom and Vanilla & Anise colognes, 9 ml each, for £60.
Regular (30ml) cologne retails for £36 so I think it is an awesome way to try different colognes and to have those that you don’t like that much in a small bottle just to mix it with others.
Red Roses reminds me of the rose jam my Mum used to make when I was a child, this is definitely not a scent for everyone, some may even hate it. But I personally adore it. Vanilla & Anise is just a beautiful warm and a bit spicy scent which is wonderful. As for Orange Blossom, I think a lot of people may like. It is a blend of orange flower, water lily and lilac with oris and vetiver.
There will be a set this year, too. But, unfortunately, I don’t remember the price and the colognes that will be included. I am definitely going to take a look when it’s available. Until then I am lusting after this cologne.
I would like to thank London Makeup Girl for helping me tracking this set down when they most of the sets were sold out.
You can buy Jo Malone from Selfridges, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
