Love it: Jo Malone's perfectly pink Silk Blossom cologne

If the perfectly ombre'd pink tassesl around the neck of Jo Malone’s delicious new Silk Blossom cologne aren’t enough to get you as excited as I was when I first laid eyes on it, then the scent profile of this beautiful new release from the legendary fragrance house most definitely will.

With its unusual blend of aromas creating a harmony of spices, gentle floral shades, fruit zests and soft moss, Silk Blossom is one of the most complex and beautiful modern fragrances I have smelled in a long while. To get all descriptive on you, the fragrance opens with a tart union of white pepper, bergamot and sweet apricots, announcing exotic silk blossom in the heart, surrounded with delicate jasmine and rose petals. The beauty of the floral notes is enhanced by the harmony of warm moss and vanilla-like, soft flavours of heliotrope in the base of the composition, providing a luxurious, pink tone. According to its creator Marie Salamagne, the accent relies on the flower as well as on silk wood to create a warm, enveloping atmosphere that works for day and well on into the night.

In Jo Malone's wonderful world of fragrance combining, they suggest layering Silk Blossom with Orange Blossom for a bright, blooming fragrance, or Red Roses for a romantic, modern floral. Love the idea of both so bring it on!

Silk Blossom is available this weekend from all Jo Malone counters - so perfect timing for Mother's Day...
