Jo Malone

Postby Sunnyfield » Mon Dec 15, 2003 2:14 pm

Jo Malone is an upmarket perfume retailer in the UK. My girlfriend found out they have a new range based on... coffee! It is the called the 'cafe' series.

Of course I had to test it, and although it is 'interesting', the coffee notes reminded me of stale (Illy) coffee-beans. Which really put me off.

You can always use it in the toilet... to get rid of 'less-nice-odeurs'... :wink:

Thanks for the tip, I had wondered about the new coffee fragrance - I'll stick to Lime, Basil & Mandarin then.

The Lime, Basil & Mandarin is *VERY* nice. Very similar to Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte.

I Know! I live for it! Girlie tip - their pot pourri oil is great when you put some on the filter in the vac cleaner, it makes the house smell of lime. OK back to coffee now....;)

I wonder if you can use pucks to make your house smell of espresso? ;)

Or you could just acciedntly throw an espresso all over your lounge room as I did this morning.

So vote, what will Ciara think when she gets home tonight:

A "What a plesent coffee aroma Alan has left in the house for me"
B "I'm going to kill Alan for spilling coffee yet again"
