Jo Malone - Rock the Ages

I was delighted to be invited to a pre-launch event for the Jo Malone Rock the Ages collection. Whilst there I was pampered with a hand and arm massage and some themed mini sticks of rock.

Whilst there I was able to experience of the wonderful take on the various ages in British history, and was able to treat myself to my favourite periods. I tried the Geranium & Verbena on top of Wood Sage and Sea Salt. This to me was a perfect pairing, the wood sage helped to lift the clean herbaceous tones of the verbena without overpowering or detracting from the elegant scent. As per usual with the wonderful scents of Jo Malone the morning after the scent still lingered and helped the morning be that more enjoyable. 

I strangely fell in love with the Tudor Rose & Amber, which even though my go to's are always very floral I always make a note to steer clear from roses. It may be due to this being a new take on rose, as it is deeper than the usual rose scents that I have tried, this being helped with the amber, clove and ginger notes. Because of this I had to add this to my collection and also purchased the Velvet Rose & Oud candle as this was the closest candle to the Tudor Rose, that I hope one day they will make into a candle.

The Birch & Black Pepper is amazing, so very rich, woody and warm. I treated my other half Rob to this, as I loved the scent but sadly found it that little to smoky for myself but I couldn't bare to go without smelling it as this was my favorite out of the collection. 

I'm hoping I can afford another spending spree before the collection ends as I would love to own the complete collection, not only because it annoys me to have an incomplete collection, but the Lily of the Valley & Ivy is perfect for the spring, it has a delicate floral scent that is ideal for all the upcoming Spring picnics that I have planned. And a girl can never have enough perfume, especially when it is Jo Malone!
