As I write this blog post I’m sitting in the office in my apartment wearing my winter coat because the owner of my building is a cheap, cheap, cheap man who decided that it was OK to turn off the heat just because it’s spring. Unfortunately it’s also 30-something degrees in New York City. Needless to say I’m spending my days shivering, but at least it smells like spring around me thanks to Jo Malone x Michael Angove! (Gotta keep it positive right!?)
Two of Jo Malone’s most popular scents – Blackberry & Bay and Orange Blossom – were just re-released in limited edition by artist Michael Angove (he specializes in highly detailed chinoiserie wallpaper, which is evidenced in the Jo Malone collection). The Blackberry & Bay scent is available as a candle, perfumed sachets, and a soap while the Orange Blossom scent comes in diffuser or soap form. I love the perfumed sachets and these ones smell so delicate but strong – you can literally smell them through the packaging. Come summer so many of us spend weekends at friends’ houses in the Hamptons or wherever it might be. I can’t think of a better hostess gift than a combination of sachets and candle or sachets and diffuser. Also…anyone else dying for wallpaper with these prints!?
Blackberry and Bay is one of my all time favorite candles, and it looks soooo pretty in its new get-up!
