Further to our feature article on the launch of The Herb Garden by Jo Malone London, Pamper.My was invited to explore the five new scents of this limited edition of fragrance collection at the brand’s Suria KLCC boutique recently.
The Jo Malone London boutique at Suria KLCC is quintessentially English with a modern touch, provided a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for the guests to try out all the five scents includes Sorrel & Lemon Thyme, Wild Strawberry & Parsley, Nasturtium & Clover, Carrot Blossom & Fennel and Lavender & Coriander, while enjoying a delicious afternoon tea inspired by the collection.
I’ve been a fan of Jo Malone London since the first time I was introduced to their signature fragrances range. They are always fresh and light, delicately and perfectly balanced which make me kinda “addicted”! And I have to admit that this Herb Garden collection got me trapped again!
The Herb Garden Collection
This Herb Garden collection is pleasantly surprising me with its eclectic scents that are fresh, natural and crisp sweetness, although its green-tinted glass bottle is less appealing to me. Each of the scent has a natural earthy base with light herb and fresh floral or fruit notes.
Same as Jo Malone London’s signature cologne and cologne intense collections, the Herb Garden fragrance can be worn alone, or layered up with any other fragrances from the signature or intense collections. Available in 30ml, The Herb Garden Collection is priced at RM240 each.
Sorrel & Lemon Thyme
Sorrel & Lemon Thyme is my most favorite in the collection as its awesome uplifting scent is just truly refreshing. It’s a fresh lemon fragrance with a hint of zesty citrus which is concisely balanced with thyme and rosemary on bed an earthy moss that keep you fresh and revitalize all day long.
I tried to layer it up with Wild Bluebell Cologne and Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense and both combinations surprised me in how harmonious the scents were blended together without compromising the refreshing factor and the mesmerizing floral scent.
Wild Strawberry & Parsley
Wild Stawberry & Parsley is a combination of the delicate sweet notes of wild strawberry and ripe blackcurrant with peppery flat-leaf parsley and tangy tomato leaves and rounded off with green leafy violet that offer a much softer and sweeter flavor.
Nasturtium & Clover
Nasturtium & Clover is a green unisex scent with an unexpected herbal pairing, contains notes of peppery rocket, lemon, nasturtium blossom and a hint of jasmine which is absolutely sophisticated and addictive.
Carrot Blossom & Fennel
Carrot Blossom & Fennel is a refined and whimsical scent combines notes of fresh fennel and sweet carrot with the refinement of iris that smells green, clean, and bright.
Lavender & Coriander
Lavender & Coriander is very much a lavender based scent but punchy with spicy coriander. The tonka bean adds warmth to the mossy base. It’s no doubt the most masculine of the Herb Garden collection.
Body Care Range
The guests were also pampered with a relaxing hand & arm massage by Jo Malone London’s professional stylist at their brasserie-concept bar, and I tried out the Vitamin E Hand Treatment, Lime Basil & Mandarin Body Crème and Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Dry Body Oil too. Of the three products I tried, the nourishing body oil was my favorite as it get absorbed quickly without feeling greasy and leaves skin subtly scented.
