It's the same old story we've heard time and time again, girl has an idea, girl makes tons o' money with said idea, then girl sells company to Estee Lauder.... I mean Bobbi Brown did it, so did Aveda and Tom Ford... Is anything sacred anymore?? Well.... Jo Malone evidently sold her highly sought after luxury fragrance line to Estee Lauder in 1999 (she still retained creative rights until 2006 at least) to my dismay, but redemption seems to be on the horizon.
Jo Malone built her beauty brand up with a selection of fine fragrances meant to be worn alone or mixed with each other (which she calls fragrance combining). She not only offers perfume, she created a bath and body collection, a home collection, and a couture skin care line.
Jo has announced her new line, Jo Loves, set to launch sometime before Christmas this year. I can only guess what all us Jo Malone fans will be asking for in December! A visit to the new brand's Web site will grant you look at a quick video (click on the vision link) where Jo describes her current influences and you get a sneak peak at how she develops her scents.
Jo Malone's fragrances can currently be found at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nieman Marcus, and her own retail locations.
To tide you over until Christmas time, I will share some of the fragrances that made me a fan of hers in the first place.
Orange Blossom Cologne, Orange blossoms with water lilies, 30 ml for $55 or 100 ml for $105
French Lime Blossom Cologne, Sweet lime blossoms with bergamot and tarragon, 30 ml for $55 or 100 for $105
Sweet Lime and Cedar Home Candle, Zesty fruits, aromatic leaves, delicate flowers, spices and nutty woods, 200 g for $65
