Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne

Marta — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:35:36 +0000

I remember walking into a Jo Malone store in New York City few years ago, and falling in love at first site. Needless to say, I had to buy something. It was Jo Malone French Lime (I was into citrusy perfumes back then, looks like:)

Nowadays, I’m very interested in: Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne, seems to be more my kind of scent these days, a bit warmer, and I like the amber ginger lily combo!

Created as a modern interpretation of Kohdo, an ancient Japanese incense ceremony, Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is a sensual and calming blend that encourages a sense of tranquility. SRP: $55 for 1 oz
