Jo Malone

If you’re feeling fancy and find that regular soap just doesn’t cut the mustard then visit Jo Malone and her band of luxury bath and beauty ranges. Their ethos is ‘decorate with scent’ and so they do as the shop smells lovely. Everything is really well presented. I loved the collection displayed in faux hardback books entitled ‘The Fragrance Chronicles’. A very nifty present for someone I reckon. They also sell candles and offer treatments upstairs. Obviously it is expensive but if you can afford to buy your soap wrapped up in an exclusive box, then why not.

Jo Malone sells luxury beauty and bath products with a minimalist stylish look. Upon entering their shop you immediately inhale a gorgeous fresh floral scent. The shop is clean and spacious, and the staff are immaculately presented. First impressions of the shop may be slightly intimidating if you are generally of a somewhat thrown-​together, dishevelled appearance as I am, but the staff greet you with warm friendly smiles and are very helpful.
The prices reflect the luxurious nature of the products, with a candle, though delightfully scented, costing £38.00! So for most these products would be a special treat or a gift. They have obviously cottoned on to this fact, putting together beautiful gift boxes which are packaged in gorgeous vintage-​look cream boxes with black satin bows. Tapping into the special occasion nature of their high end products Jo Malone offers gifts suitable for weddings and a fragrance combination menu, encouraging brides to be to create their own perfect scent by mixing and matching combinations of pre-​existing scents… or maybe (says my cynical nature) just a subtle way of encouraging customers to buy more products!
With delicious scent combinations and beautifully designed packaging, Jo Malone exudes taste and luxury. Not a regular stop-​off for those on a tight budget but perfect for extra special gifts for those who enjoy a pamper.

I’ll never forget my guy friend talking about his mum being so excited to visit him in Leeds. Not see him though… oh no! Her main conern was getting on down to Jo Malone to purchase one of the ‘heavenly candles’ that she just ‘needed!’…nice to see you son, now, lets go shopping!
I never understood the appeal until I went to visit the store. With fresh, white and clear displays, the shop looks very contemporary and chic. They have an arrangement of skin, bath, body and make-​up supplies along with lovely, fresh frangrances and of course, the sought after candles!
They offer bridal consultations on their products so you can leave behind some very stylish table favours. In this store, they even do mini treatments like a ten minute hand and arm massage! A perfect pick-​me-​up mid shop!
