Jo Malone

I used to love splashing on a bit of après rasage when I was younger, but I spent so many Sunday mornings hungover in bed reeking of stale Dior Homme that I've been put off more recently.  

The problem is (seeing as I'm gay and all that) aftershave is an easy go to for friends and family to buy me as a gift so despite my recent aversion my collection has continued to build.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend last week who has been contemplating her next perfume purchase for a while now. She was looking for something fruity and wintery so of course I recommended Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone. It's one of the only fragrances I still wear from time to time. 

So last week we went for a walk down Sloane Street and popped into Jo Malone for a browse. Pomegranate Noir was recommended to my friend straight away and of course she loved it and added it to her Christmas list. 

While we were there I thought I might as well treat myself and ended up buying Dark Amber & Ginger Lily from the Cologne Intense range. It's really warm and spicy on its own and when it's blended with the Pomegranate Noir it smells just like mulled wine. In a good way... Well, I think it's good anyway.
