Best Fragrances from London
We can remember our first brush with Jo Malone as if it were yesterday. After a wretched afternoon in New York, buffeted by strong March gales and blasts of icy rain, we slipped gratefully into a steaming tub so redolent of exotic tuberoses that we were unexpectedly transported to an evening in Bali, where once, years ago, we were reduced to a state of delightful intoxication by an enormous vase of white tuberoses that perfumed the night air with their sensual fragrance. Not bad for a capful of bathoil.
Malone, a highly sought after London aromatherapist (
www.jomalone.co.uk), captivated the fragrance world some years ago when she introduced her own, rather unusual line of colognes and bath oils. Unlike many other parfumeurs, Malone devloped fragrances with distinctive floral, herbal, and spice notes, often blended in the most surprising fashion. Although some, such as Tuberoses, are overwhelmingly redolent of a single flower, others such as the refreshing Lime, Basil and Mandarin are intensified with hints of other fragrances--in this case, lilac, white thyme and vetiver. Even more intriguing is Malone’s predilection for “layering” scents to create a fragrance unique to the wearer. One of our favorites is spicy Red Roses worn over Verbena of Province, a luscious blend that mysteriously can’t quite be identified. Malone’s collection, which also includes skin care products and home fragrances, is available in the U.S. at stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, and at Jo Malone, 949 Broadway, New York, NY 10010. Telephone: 212-673-2220. The chic cream and black packaging is the best in the business.
