Even Sweeter Than the Fruit

By Lucy Seagraves

Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom and Honey is a fragrance twenty years in the making. Created for Jo Malone’s Mediterranean clients, peaches and honey were blended together to make a delicious, full bodied scent. For twenty years, this unfinished cologne was forgotten about, until two things inspired Jo Malone to perfect her incomplete design – peach sorbet from a New York restaurant and fresh white nectarines from a London fruit market.

This recently perfected scent has finally landed in the U.S. just in time for the sweet months of summer and is a must-have for weekend getaway bags this season. The fruity, youthful cologne carries notes of black currant, clementine flower, cedar leaf and dewy greens. A spray of the fragrance will leave your mouth watering for juicy, ripe nectarines.

Nectarine Blossom and Honey is available for purchase on their website, at www.jomalone.com or Bergdorf Goodman, and select Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide.
