Yesterday I attended a Jo Malone party catered by Neiman Marcus. It was held at a friend’s house and we got to hear the story of how the perfumery, skincare and bath line began as well as try each scent and receive a hand and arm massage while trying the various oils, creams and scrubs. It was lovely! A great aspect of Jo Malone fragrances is the fact that you can combine and layer the scents to create your own perfect aroma.
