Limited Edition, Unlimited Possibilities

  The limited edition White Tie & Tiara, from Jo Malone was last launched in 2008, and is designed exclusively to support the Elton John AIDS Foundation. It is a wonderful summer scent inspired by the beautiful 'White Scented Garden' at Sir Elton John and David Furnish’s Windsor home, and is named after the White Tie and Tiara Ball, held every June in the grounds. The fragrance blends delicate jasmine, orange blossom, and white violets with hints of pineapple, tangerine and bergamot.

Due to its popularity, the scent is now available in a limited edition from Jo Malone boutiques.  Each purchase of White Tie & Tiara 2010 supports Jo Malone's donation of £150,000 to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has prioritised its key programmes in Cambodia and Malawi, helping over 25,000 children infected with the HIV virus or orphaned because of AIDS, as beneficiaries of this donation.

A lovely scent and a worthy cause.

A Flawless Fragrance

British Fragrance house Jo Malone is synonymous with the art of fragrance blending. Not only are many of their fragrances intriguing mixes of delicious notes, including spicy, floral, citrus, fruity or woody to name a few, each and all of the scents are perfect for layering so you can create your own signature combination or combinations.

Their newest fragrance is Vanilla & Anise and it is one to treasure.

The top notes of Sicilian Bergamot, Tunisian Neroli, Wild Fennel Flower and Star Anise are the first to arouse your senses. Middle notes of Oleander, Tuberose, Frangipani and Purple Vanilla Orchid are next, followed by base notes of Madagascar Clove, White Amber. Vetiver Bourbon, Vanilla Bourbon Absolute and Tonka. The result is a soft scent with a powerful pleasurable effect.

The balance of heady spices and warm vanilla in Vanilla and Anise is especially enchanting this time of year as we segue, not always smoothly, from crisp/warm Autumn to frigid/thawing Winter to confused Spring. One spray of Vanilla Anise and you will find yourself in your own perfect season.
