Jo Malone made dessert dreams come true in 2013. And I am definitely a dessert person. I love sweet things. I mean delicious and juicy berries with sweet cream. Who can say no to that? So it’s no surprise that I got all 5 fragrances from this edition.
I must admit, however, that I didn’t like Redcurrant & Cream very much at first. I can’t even say what it was. Something just didn’t fit. Now I find it simply wonderful. It just took a little time.
I try to eat as healthily as possible. And that’s how I discovered smoothies for myself. They are quick to make, healthy, and tasty. Among other things, I also tried a berry smoothie. With currants, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Super delicious! And this berry smoothie tastes exactly like Redcurrant & Cream smells. Fascinating. And since then, I wear it regularly.
I can perceive strawberries, raspberries, and currants very well. Although the currants are a bit more prominent. The musk prevents it from becoming too sour and gives the fragrance a light and sweet creaminess.
The longevity is great at just over 6 hours. The sillage is also impressive. The scent wafts around me without being intrusive.
A little anecdote on the side. When I was sitting in our break room, my colleague came in and said, "It smells delicious like strawberry tea here." I could only grin. So I’ll take that as a compliment.
I really like it and find it very unfortunate that it was only a limited edition. I hope it stays with me for a long time.
By the way, my appetite for berry smoothies has greatly increased.
