XMAS 2016 Series | Jo Malone London Theatre Of Christmas

One can almost trust that this British Cologne brand will line up an exquisite occasion, like one here, for you if you were to receive an invitation from Jo Malone London. The recent Merry Michief in celebration of the coming Christmas this year was no exception. If you had followed LUMINNEJ for quite some time, you would know that Jo Malone London cologne is one of our top favourite colognes to wear (here and here). It never fail to amaze us with its concept of layering the scents to create a signature one for yourself. 

Trailing The Intense Notes of Jo Malone London Cologne Intense Dark Amber & Ginger Lily

Intensely rich, yet softly alluring, it captured our attention during our media preview previously, and it came back with us, for an extended stay and explorations thereafter. Perhaps it was its ability to send us to a faraway land of Japan, steeped within the steps of the temples, engrossed in the quiet but highly ritualised of a Kohdo ceremony, the Japanese art of incense appreciation, due to one of its rich ingredients - the rare Kyara wood. Other base notes include Leather, Sandalwood and Patchouli. Maybe it could be the more floral accents of its middle notes from an enriched Amber, Black Orchid, Water Lily, Jasmine and rose, illuminated by the clean sensuality of top notes from Black Cardamom, Ginger, Pink Pepper?

For us, it is one that is warm, spicy, deeply sensual, yet calming and relaxing. Yes, we are sharing a little of our experience wearing this special one by Jo Malone London Cologne Intense Dark Amber & Ginger Lily today. 

Jo Malone London Cologne Intense | An Intensely Pleasant Rendezvous

Rich, rare and ritualistic, we were being ushered into the mystical world of Middle Eastern's heritage, culture and its allure of spices and oils, mingling ever so gently in the pleasant afternoon air that unmistakably belonged to this British fragrance brand which has its core philosophy steeped in elegant simplicity, reflected so cleverly by the black, dark and hypnotic ambience and decor put up at the The Gallery, Le Meridien Hotel recently. Our interest were immediately piqued. We are so in love with our very first cologne by Jo Malone London here, so naturally, we could not wait to discover what this new Jo Malone London Cologne Intense brings forth. We were about to find out more at this private media preview then.
