JO MALONE LONDON - SILVER BIRCH & LAVENDER


Jo Malone London have recently launched their LavenderLand Limited Edition Collection which consists of fragrances based around the ‘Lavender’ note and for me personally, whenever I think of Lavender, it automatically evokes memories of being around my grandparents house when I was younger and the note just feels a little ‘old fashioned’…

It’s safe to say that Lavender certainly isn’t something that I’m ever drawn to however, with that being said, I have managed to sample all of the LavenderLand Collection and to my surprise, I rather like them!

JO MALONE LONDON - LAVENDERLAND COLLECTION

  1. Lavender & Coriander Fragrance

  2. Wisteria & Lavender Fragrance

  3. Silver Birch & Lavender Fragrance

  4. Lavender & Musk Pillow Mist

For this particular blog post I will be reviewing the fragrance I kindly got gifted which was Silver Birch & Lavender.

  • Top Note: Grapefruit

  • Middle Note: English Lavender

  • Base Note: Silver Birch

Out of the LavenderLand Collection, I struck lucky by receiving Silver Birch & Lavender as this was my favourite from the three! The opening has a fresh, fruity-like burst from the Grapefruit note that is soon taken over by the English Lavender, however, what I like about the way that the English Lavender note has been used, is how it lingers softly behind the other notes so it doesn’t have that nauseating, overwhelming punch that I often associate Lavender with. The fragrance almost has a rather soft and whimsical touch, which allows the woody, earthy notes to stand out leaving the overall scent feeling quite masculine with a feminine twist. Flamboyant shall we say?

Silver Birch & Lavender has an incredible longevity to it and lasted on my skin between 7-8 hours and its sillage soft-medium. Ideal as we move forward into the warm Spring season and I would recommend wearing the Silver Birch & Lavender throughout the evening as this is when I feel the scent comes alive! To find out more, head to the Jo Malone London website for more details on their LavenderLand Collection and be quick as it is Limited Edition and as we all know, Jo Malone Limited Edition Collections mean exactly that so don’t miss out.

*Side note, I WISH Lavender & Musk Pillow Mist was a standalone fragrance as this was another personal favourite of mine so if you manage to try anything out, head for the Silver Birch & Lavender along with the Lavender & Musk Pillow Mist!
