It's times like this I wish I could just embed a scent into my blog, you know, a scratch and sniff blog. Alas I don't. So you'll have to put up with my inept attempts at describing scents... prepare for lots of "oooh I love this".
Jo Malone London have a new Limited Edition fragrance available now, Plum Blossom. Officially described as "Opening with the fruitful freshness of yellow plum, its floral heart blooms on a background of creamy sandalwood and clean, white musk".
To me this smells so like plums it's uncanny, it's a sort of sour-ish plum scent, rather than a sweet fruity scent. That's a good thing. It smells just like plums...and it stays like that for quite some time, then when you give yourself a sniff an hour or so later thats when you really get the musk and sandalwood underneath, whilst there's still a hint of the plum blossom around. It's truly a thing of beauty, I've seen other reviews mention it as being a bit too light to wear alone, I've not found that at all and find it positively gloriously alone, however, it is also, I am afraid, perfect for Fragrance Combining, in particular with Nectarine Blossom & Honey. Sounds delish!
Finally, just a comment on the bottle, beautiful as always, trimmed with a dusky pink rope, and a floral design on the front, gorgeous.
Ooh I really do love this perfume. To me, or certainly for my usual tastes, its completely different and I really do love it.
£36 for 30ml Cologne or £72 for 100ml Cologne.
Available now from www.jomalone.com
Sounds lovely! Plums remind me of Summer, the plum trees in the garden are fit to burst and my Mum goes nuts trying to incorporate plums into everything :')
