Festive Fragrance Combinations by Jo Malone

From twinkling fairy lights to roaring fires and relentless feasting, from rowdy carol singing to the rustle of wrapping paper and more chocolate than you know what to do with, Christmas is all about sensory overload. It is not a time for prudence or restraint; on the contrary, unbridled self-indulgence is the order of the day. What could be more cheering than getting into the spirit of deliciousness and decadence with your own festive fragrance combinations? Discover which is the aroma that will best define you these Holiday Season.

Christmas Eve combination:

Christmas Eve is all about the build-up, the anticipation, when you’re still slightly frantic, getting last-minute presents wrapped up and maybe heading for home. Tap into that tantalising sense of expectation with a bright, wildly romantic blend of zesty, addictive Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne and voluptuous Red Roses Cologne. A marvellous Christmas cocktail of mouth-watering freshness that cuts through all the wintery yuletide richness like a scented lightning bolt.

Christmas Day combination:

Time to pull out the big guns – and by that, we mean creating a scented aura of sumptuous warmth with lashings of Pomegranate Noir Cologne combined with its partner in crime, Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne. Drift from room to room, topping up drinks and pulling Christmas crackers in a haze of intense sensuality layered with enigmatic seductiveness. The essence of Christmas opulence. Say a firm farewell to moderation and throw yourself into a world of excess.

Boxing Day combination:

All good things must come to an end, of course, and when you come up for air on Boxing Day, you may need a helping hand. Soothe frazzled heads with a long bath surrounded by Wild Fig & Cassis Home Candles– the perfect antidote to all that overindulgence – and you can take things up a gear by burning a Basil & Neroli Home Candle at the same time. Lively and crisp, if anything can break through the heavy fog of Christmas revelry, it’s this dream team of the deeply restorative coupled with an uplifting zing.
