Celebrating a new fragrance with Jo Malone

Blooming

25 Oct

The other week I was once again lucky enough to be invited to an event at the Jo Malone store in beautiful Bath, this time it was in conjunction with the release of the new Jo Malone fragrance Honeysuckle & Davana, which as you’d expect smells amazing.

This time the event was flower crown making, and having only made one before I definitely needed help, but I needn’t have worried, as I had the help of @forgageandblossom on hand.

As soon as you entered the Bath store your eyes were greeted with an abundance of flowers and your nose with all the delicious smells of Jo Malone fragrances, as with all the previous times when visiting the Bath store the staff were so helpful, chatty and just plain lovely.

I was given a glass of fizz (which lets be honest is always a plus), then the flower crown experience started, we started off making sure that the wire was the correct length for my head, it was time to chose which flowers I wanted on my crown, and what a selection there was, faux flowers along with some wonderful fresh ones, the colours were soft peaches, pinks and purples all very pleasing to the eye.

Once I had chosen and cut my flowers it was time to tape them to the wire, which was occasionally a bit tricky, but I had all the help I needed, the whole time people were coming in and out of the store buying their chosen scent, everyone so friendly and chatty, which is probably why it took me so long to finish my crown .. too much chat!

Once finished, it was of course time to get down to some serious smelling .. and the reason for this event, the new fragrance “Honeysuckle & Davana” which using this very English flower gives the scent and feeling of the English countryside, the caption for this is #hellohoney, it really is a lovely fresh happy floral smell, now if you know me you’ll know I couldn’t leave empty handed …  it is Jo Malone after all, so I brought myself a perfume (the candle is on my Christmas wish list) to add to my gorgeously growing collection of perfumes “I’ve got too many Jo Malone fragrances …” said no-one EVER !!!

 

 

I had, as always when visiting the Bath store, a really wonderful afternoon, the staff there are so friendly and helpful, everything you’d expect and more.  I know there are more events coming up and I hope to be lucky enough to be invited again.  So if you’re ever in Bath do pop into the store you really will not be disappointed.

AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the poli AD • I was questioned yesterday (not by the police before you start worrying 😦) but by Mr W (it was like being in Line of Duty 😜) .. “did I buy these (*gorgeous) blooms so I could photograph them in this bag?” .. *he didn’t say “gorgeous” that was added by me ... of course I explained the answer isn’t simple a yes or no .... I wanted flowers for my lovely @tillyanna bag this is true .. but I also love blooms in our home 🌸  basically it’s what you call a win win situ .. he rolled his eyes muttered something and wandered off 🤣 .... I didn’t then like to tell the bread I’d baked early was done purely for a insta shot (thankfully my teens are gannets & ate the evidence 😁😏)

AD – although I love my home being hectic & comp AD – although I love my home being hectic & completely full on 99.9% of the time, there are those moments I like to steal away and just have those five minutes of calm .. from a bath to having a quiet read in my bedroom with candles lit & a hot coffee .. of course it still gets disturbed with a "mum where's my ….." … and the usual response of either a) "where you left it… " or b) "well if you kept your bedroom tidy & put things away then you'd be able to find it ….. wouldn't you" .. even with teens life is still 100mph .. thankfully Wellwoman Original helps to support energy levels and overall wellbeing. It contains 24 nutrients such as B6, B12 and Iron which contribute to normal energy release which helps me to keep up with the not so little darlings ❤️ #ad, #IAmWellwoman, #Wellwoman, #Vitabiotics @Vitabiotics
