Jo Malone Candles: Review & the ultimate guide to the full collection!
Hello friends! As a self-confessed Jo Malone addict, today I want to give you the ultimate guide to the entire candle collection! I’m talking all the collection, all the fragrances, plus the prices, sizes and pots! It’s going to be a good one… so buckle up! Let’s go!
The townhouse collection
The townhouse candles are glorious!! You will know them by the beautiful bisque porcelain pots they are housed in and their fragrances which are inspired by moments around the home; baked treats, green houses and evenings around an open fire. I love the collection, but it is worth mentioning that these candles are more expensive, £94 for a 300g candle. Each candle has a burn time of 70 hours. And the fragrances you find in this collection you won’t find as matching colognes. Also, these fragrances come as diffusers, if you prefer.
Fresh Fig & Cassis Townhouse Candle
Uplift the mood with the warmth of ripened figs. Hints of leaves and trees intermingle with just ripened figs lovingly embraced by the sun. One of my personal favourite candles.
Lilac Lavender & Lovage Townhouse Candle
Soothe the senses with tranquil lavender. The calming scent of lavender blends with the aromatic greenery of humble lovage.
Glowing Embers Townhouse Candle
Cosy up next to the glowing embers of a log fire. Flames crackle, pages turn, and the comforting scent of glowing embers fills the room.
Pastel Macaroons Townhouse Candle
Bask in the sugary warmth of afternoon tea. The sweet aroma of almond tarts, freshly baked scones and pastel macaroons means it’s time for afternoon tea.
Green Tomato Vine Townhouse Candle
Energise the home with the fresh tang of vine grown tomatoes. The rich, green aroma of sprightly tomato plants warmed by the afternoon sun. I love this candle so much! If you only buy one candle this summer, this should be it!
Wild Berry & Bramble Townhouse Candle
Enliven the spirit with the fresh juiciness of red berries on a brambly bush. A fragrant tapestry of thorny shrubs and arching brambles, brimming with red berries.
The Christmas Candles – Limited Editions!
As you might expect, these candles are only available at christmas, they sometimes come in a variety of sizes, as well as a diffuser and they are generally re-released every year, although there are often additions and omissions. For instance, some years we see Roasted Chestnuts, which is a stunning christmas candle, and other years we don’t. So if you have a particular favourite, it might be worth stocking up. Generally we see the Pine & Eucalyptus Home Candle and the Orange Bitters has popped up a lot recently, but there are no guarantees!
White Moss & Snowdrop Christmas Candle
Snowdrop petals peeking through powdery snow, greeting forest-fresh moss, iridescent under winter sunlight. Create a luminous atmosphere with a smooth and crisp scent.
Orange Bitters Christmas Candle
A delectable winter’s cocktail of juicy sweet orange, a splash of bitter orange and the creamy warmth of sandalwood. Inspire a sensual atmosphere with a zesty citrus twist.
Pine & Eucalyptus Christmas Candle
Bursting with the festivity of aromatic pine and enlivening eucalyptus. Make the air merry with the scent of Christmas morning. This is my favourite christmas candle! The except the Chestnut candle which makes a rare appearance some christmases!
Limited edition treats
Once in a while we see limited edition treats from the brand, right now there is a candle with the chef, François Piège. This is a wonderful kitchen candle, inspired by fine food, but it won’t be along for long…
Violet Leaf & Bergamot x François Piège
A seamless fusion of two worlds. Fine food and fragrance meet to create a unique scent for the home. A bright burst of bergamot – reminiscent of Earl Grey tea – is dressed with the green freshness of violet leaves, cocooned in a unexpected note of warm, fluffy rice. A really exciting candle as this was their first candle designed to freshen the room after cooking!
Garden charity candles
The Jo Malone charity candles are not only beautiful to look at and enjoy, but they also give a beautiful gift to many people around the UK and Ireland. For each candle sold, Jo Malone london donate 75% of the RRP (minus VAT) to the Shining a Light on Mental Health Foundation. This charity, with the help of Jo Malone create beautiful gardens around the Uk to help bring peace and and therapy to those who use the gardens. Each candle is decorated to reflect the scent and each one is priced at £55 for a 200g candle which gives 45hours of burn time.
If you are shopping for a gift (or for yourself) I would urge you to consider one of these candles over a classic fragrance, as these help donate funds to a really wonderful charity.
Elderflower & Gooseberry Charity Candle
Create a comforting atmosphere with the scent of delicate elderflower buds harvested from the hedgerows on a cloudless morning. Their floral notes are complemented by hawthorn and mixed with the tartness of summer-green gooseberries.
Lily Of The Valley & Ivy Charity Candle
Bask in the gentle delicacy of lily of the valley. Sparkling cassis and green ivy gives way to delicate lily of the valley and decadent narcissus.
Peony & Moss Charity Candle
Add a contrasting touch of the dainty and the dirty. The gossamer lightness of delicate peonies grounded in earthy green, is both verdant and delicate. My personal favourite of the collection, although they are all stunning!
White Lilac & Rhubarb Charity Candle
Delight in the vibrancy of a summer garden in early bloom. Tart and vibrant rhubarb cuts through soft lilac, sensual rose and sun-loving heliotrope.
Iris & Lady Moore Charity Candle
Get lost inside an English country garden. Noble iris, powdery and poised, mingles with the freshness of geranium and stems of lush vetiver grass.
