[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve identified Jo Malone London since its very inception and it’s at all times so fascinating to see how they develop their perfume assortment. My least favorite Jo Malone London fragrances are Pomegranate Noir (though I used to be burning it over Christmas and really began to love it extra) and Lime, Basil and Mandarin. I imagine these two have been greatest sellers for years however I’m at all times going to be an Orange Blossom fan at coronary heart. A number of years again, Jo Malone London made eating room candles within the Orange Blossom perfume and I bear in mind having pals over to dinner with them burning away – opening the door to the eating room which I’d sprinkled liberally with fairy lights and this wonderful perfume greeting us – it was simply pretty.
Taif, in Saudi Arabia, is named the Metropolis of Roses because of its abundance of rose fields. This time of yr (January), pruning is happening earlier than the roses blossom and are harvested for steam distillation. Harvesting begins (earlier than dawn) in March when over 70,000 roses are picked every day.
Jo Malone London Taif Rose Intense is a rush of rose – it has a pure sweetness in the identical means {that a} contemporary rose petal does however earlier than that may be too a lot rose, an earthy espresso word kicks in to floor it. With amber on the base, it’s cocooning and mystical with the lightest trace on the richness of conventional Center Jap scents. There’s a clear and soapy aspect to Taif Rose Intense because it warms in your pores and skin however on the identical time, it’s very sensual.
Should you love a rose perfume, I really feel assured that you will discover the nuance on this one alluring – it’s all types of contradictions actually however I really feel that I’ll dip into it time and again. I had a rose latte on the Cafe Royal final yr which was in contrast to something I’d tasted earlier than (I cherished it) and Taif Rose is giving me the identical thrill vibes as that did. It’s undoubtedly rose, but it surely’s completely different beneath. 50ml is £112 HERE.
