Brand new to StyleNest favourite Jo Malone is their beautiful Poppy & Barley collection.
Combining iconic poppies with grains, and blending in rose, violet and blackcurrants too, the new scent beautifully illustrates a golden harvest. Fresh and sensuous all in one, the fragrance notes work so perfectly together- which is no surprise given Jo Malone London’s entire expertly blended range.
As Celine Roux, Global Head of Fragrance at Jo Malone explains, “Poppies seem so quintessentially British, and to me this fragrance represents a living landscape where poppies add dashes of colour to golden grains. It’s a colourful character- I can’t think of an English field without picturing the poppies bursting through in their unruly way.”
I do adore a floral Jo Malone, with Red Roses probably my all-time must-have. Or would it be Peony & Blush Suede? The beauty of this new number is its delicious marriage between floral and grains, which seems particularly apt with autumn and harvest on the horizon.
A refreshing cologne to take you into AW19, I love the light golden warmth it brings. There’s something very unique and alluring about this pairing. And Poppy & Barley Perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui says, “Poppy & Barley has an element of the unexpected and unusual- a contrast between the vibrant poppies and the nourishing grains, rounded by hints of violet and fig. It was an exciting creative challenge and new territory for me- exploring the potential of the ingredients and their combination.”
Currently offering three different options in this scent, you can find a 30ml Cologne (£48), 100ml Cologne (£98) and a 250ml Body & Hand Wash (£32). Should you love to layer your Jo Malone, a spritz of Poppy & Barley plus another of my favourites, Honeysuckle & Davana makes for a glorious floral fancy. Other tempting combinations include with the fresh mineral scent Wood Sage & Sea Salt, or alongside Myrrh & Tonka to tap into an exotic opulence.
