Jo Malone London English Fields

If there is a brand that knows how to capture feelings it's Jo Malone London. 

Their new collection is a tribute to the English heritage, five new fragrances inspired by the sensation of walking through the meadows during different periods of the year. What a fantastic and unexpected idea!! English Fields is a new limited edition that will certainly evoke powerful memories like the Marcel Proust's Madeleine.

And talking about madeleines...I was lucky enough to be one of the first to discover these creations surrounded by magnificent breads and delicious pastries from Pan Delirio in Madrid. I had the opportunity to discover this launch doing also some bread and cereal tasting to perceive the raw natural ingredients.

The notes used are cereals (wheat, rye, barley and oats) combined with wild flowers like poppies, crocus or cornflowers. I chose two fragrances with which I'm currently obsessed!!

Poppy & Barley

Imagine summer sunlight skipping across golden fields with red vibrant poppies.
It's a very feminine scent that actually smells to me like a gorgeous lady that lives in the countryside. The notes of this creation are rose, barley, violet, blackcurrant, bran and white musk. The contrast of the dry and earthy side of cereals paired with the tangy, fresh and sweet accord of flowers and blackcurrant gives to this fragrance all its beauty. The final touch of white musk has a very powdery and soft as cotton feel on the skin.

Green Wheat and Meadowsweet

This cologne symbolizes the beginning of the spring, a promise of longer and brighter days. 
It captures the scent of young wheat fields. The green notes are predominant and have a very fresh facet thanks to the grapefruit. The vetiver and the meadowsweet complete this olfactory experience that represents the cereals before they mature into grains. For me it's a fantastic combination of zesty citruses with clean greens that has a delicious sweet finish on the skin. A very special and irresistible scent, because it's the perfect balance between sweet and crisp notes. 

A Big THANK YOU to Jo Malone Spain who kindly invited me to the most beautiful event.

L´Occitane en Provence x Rifle Paper Co

I love and I've been using for years L'Occitane and when I saw that they where doing a collaboration with Rifle Paper Co I couldn't resist. 

L'Occitane is a French brand that brings to us beautiful natural products inspired by the region of Provence. This part of France has been historically known for its know-how in perfumery and the art of capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants using different techniques (distillation, enfleurage...). The key ingredients of L'Occitane are essential oils (rosemary, lavender...), almond oil or even shea butter.

Rifle Paper Co is a young American brand founded by the very talented Anna Rifle Bond and her husband. The oneiric illustrations made by Anna are printed on the covers of cute AF notebooks, greeting cards or even phone cases. These unique designs are whimsical and beautiful. I own several notebooks and journals just to collect them and to look at them because they have so many details and are so ravishing!

I'm completely obsessed with this release and happy to have different sizes of karité butter products to keep them in my bag or on my bedside table. The big box comes also with four Rifle Paper Co post cards that makes it an even more special present.

The collection is focused on their best-seller Shea Butter hand cream and let me tell you that it's the best one that I've tried in my entire life. Seriously, this natural formula repairs everything from dryness, corns and even cracked hands if you are consistent in the application. It smells amazing, the texture is very rich and it absorbs astonishingly quick.

An amazing collab for gift-giving or as I did, to treat yourself and have the most pinterestable objects that you can possibly imagine.
