A great background story and a glorious medley of ingredients, seamlessly\u202fcrafted together, are just some of the threads running through every Jo Malone London fragrance.<\/p>\n


\nOf course Beach Blossom, the latest launch from the luxury British fragrance and lifestyle house, is no different. Jo Malone London scents will always unveil a slew of surprises, so it would be remiss to expect the expected. True to form, Beach Blossom takes the archetypal beach holiday fragrance and completely turns it on its head to create a sparkling-meets-solar scent.<\/p>\n

Beach Blossom\u2019s creation was somewhat fortuitous, inspired by an encounter with a publication that builds stories around the confluence of nature and home.\u202f \u2018I always find ideas in there that spark inspiration,\u2019<\/em> enthuses C\u00e9line Roux, Jo Malone London\u2019s Global Head Of Fragrance. \u2018One day I came across an amazing article\u202fthat told the story of the coco de mer. I was like, \u201cWow, this is fantastic\u201d<\/em>,\u2019 she recalls. \u2018It was then I\u202fthought,<\/em> \u201cThat’s it, I want to create a fragrance inspired by coco de mer\u201d.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

A rare, giant sculptural nut, historically associated with love and passion, the coco de mer grows on palm trees around the beaches of the Seychelles. Sometimes referred to as a \u2018double coconut\u2019 or a \u2018sea coconut\u2019,\u202fcoco de mer is specifically endemic to the islands of Praslin and Curieuse. Highly prized and collectable, coco de mer is also deemed to be a desirable piece of naturally grown art, one that is said to have magical and mythical properties.<\/p>\n

While the story of coco de mer planted a seed of inspiration for the creation of Beach Blossom, C\u00e9line and perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui \u2013 the revered nose behind Myrrh & Tonka, Poppy & Barley and Jasmine Sambac & Marigold \u2013 were not interested in a literal translation.\u2018I liked the idea of a coconut-water accord but I didn’t want it to smell of coconut or have a typical coconut-y, floral, beachy scent,\u2019<\/em> says C\u00e9line. This explains why, despite being described as \u2018solar\u2019 \u2013 an olfactory family typified by warmth and a beachy, sun-cream effect \u2013 Beach Blossom doesn\u2019t feature the ingredients usually associated with those scents; ylang-ylang and jasmine are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

\u2018I wanted Beach Blossom\u202fto be fresh, solar and sensual but with a woody elegance.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Rather, Beach Blossom opens somewhat unexpectedly with a vibrant, zesty lime and a fresh aromatic mint \u2018to give it a kick\u2019,<\/em> says C\u00e9line, adding with a chuckle, \u2018like a mojito\u2019<\/em>. The heart of the fragrance is a fresh coconut-water accord that is light and subtle. Lime and a hint of mint enhance the beautiful freshness. Another element of surprise comes in the form of cedarwood. \u2018I wanted Beach Blossom to be fresh, solar and sensual but with a woody elegance. I like that coco de mer is sculptural and has a woody finish, so I knew I definitely wanted that woody base \u2013 it gives it real sophistication.\u2019<\/em> Finally, there\u2019s a long-lasting trail that C\u00e9line describes as \u2018so moreish\u2019,<\/em> which is created by combining the warm richness of tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver.<\/p>\n

All the scents launched\u202fin the Blossoms Collection over the years are like Jo Malone London\u2019s ticket to travel to a far-flung destination using the vehicle of scent. Beach Blossom is an open invitation to come on that journey. Asked to describe Beach Blossom in a single line, C\u00e9line doesn\u2019t miss a beat. \u2018Dreamy,\u2019<\/em> she says with a smile, closing her eyes to take in the scent. \u2018So dreamy. I am immediately transported.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n
