What a dream come true! A Jo Malone London boutique is now open in City Center, DC. and I couldn't be more stoked about it.
When I walked into the boutique I knew immediately that I had to take home
everything in the store once I saw the candles lined up with adorable black
bows. The interior was drop dead gorgeous. I was welcomed by a Jo Malone London
Stylist who gave me a tour of the boutique and brought me over to the discovery
table to explore the variety of scents Jo Malone London offers.
Instead of looking for a scent based on its name
or fragrance family, the Stylist asked me what kind of emotion I would like my
scent to feel or represent. I replied "happy" and "sweet"
and she picked out a couple of scents based on my answer. I thought right away
it would be Peony & Blush Suede, but the first one she picked was Nectarine Blossom & Honey and
I was blown away. I don't easily show my emotions in public but my eyes began
to well up once my nose picked up the scent. Scents really do have a way of
evoking memories and it brought me back to my childhood days when I used to go
peach picking with my family. Peach is the base note for this particular
cologne mixed in with other layered notes such as cassis, spring flowers, and
honey. A perfect mix which results in a playful, sweet scent that's perfect for
spring and summer. The Stylist suggested that I layer Blackberry & Bay on top of Nectarine
Blossom & Honey - oh my, what a game changer. I never though of layering
fragrances, but Jo Malone London proved me wrong. To fully experience the
scents and create my own signature scent, we walked over to the Tasting Bar
where I could test out the scents on my skin with a hand and arm massage. One
thing that I truly admire about Jo Malone London is that each scent is
incredibly beautiful and that they are attentive to every detail. The stylist
decided that we would test out different scents on each arm, but we used
Nectarine Blossom & Honey as base and layered it with Red Roses on the left
and Blackberry & Bay on the right arm. I typically don't like massages, but
the aromas of the scents were soothing and I wanted time to stop just for that
moment. I was able to find my signature scent thanks to Jo Malone London. For
day, I like to first spritz Nectarine Blossom & Honey and layer it with
Blackberry & Bay that has a light, airy scent that reminds me of summer.
For night I like to use Nectarine Blossom & Honey as base and layer it with
Red Roses, a romantic, flirty scent.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better,
the Stylist gave me a card that had the words “with this gift comes another” –
a card that’s good for a complimentary hand and arm massage. With any purchase,
Jo Malone London offers this special VIP treatment complimentary for you to
enjoy or to gift to a friend. Thanks to this perk I left the boutique with a
couple of bags!
My experience at Jo Malone London was truly
magical and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to stop by their new
location in DC! A big thank you to Jo Malone London and the team in DC for an
experience I'll never forget. I had the best time thanks to my Stylist, Deborah,
a day filled with laughter and chit chatting about Korean food and beauty
products.
My store visit was in collaboration with Jo
Malone London. Have you had a chance to pop into a Jo Malone London boutique?
Your life will never be the same. Trust me.
Love, Sharon
