Jo Malone London's Blue Skies & Blossom Collection fired its arrow straight into my heart right after my visit to Japan during this Spring. We were a week or two too late, thus we were trying to catch a view of the sakura high bloom by taking advantage of our Japan Rail Pass. During a sunny day in Kyoto, we visited Ninna-ji. This particular temple has a big garden of a different type of cherry trees which are known by their late blossoms. Only after I stepped into the garden, I could fully appreciate the unique experience it offers. Hundreds of meters long and wide, tightly planted cherry trees were in full blossom, meadow was covered in petals. No other colors to disturb the scene but white pink and green. If you raise your head, you could see the tower of an ancient temple raising over the cloud of sakura trees (I tried capture it in this photo). And the lingering aroma... I have never smelled anything like this before. So distinct, yet so pleasant and never overwhelming. Taking deep breaths, we walked in this surreal maze.
Later that month, I came across Jo Malone Blue Skies & Blossom Collection during my travel to the States. It is composed of three repromoted fragrances of the line, Sakura Blossom, Plum Blossom and Osmanthus Blossom. I have sampled all three and fell in love with Sakura and Plum Blossom as they put this unforgettable experience in a bottle for me. To make this review a little more special, I have taken the flacons to the park close to our flat and took some pictures with lovely flowers. I hope you will enjoy them as I share my thoughts about Sakura & Plum Blossom with you.
