I am a candle fanatic because I love the sense of calm they can bring and Jo Malone’s Silk Blossom Candle is the perfect scent to unwind to after a long day at the office. The combination of pink-fringed pompoms and a touch of spice summons me to a garden on a beautiful island where I can transform my couch into a place of peace and zen. Although the Jo Malone London Candle is a bit pricier than most candles, the Silk Blossom Candle burns for 45 hours and is made entirely by hand. Above and beyond the aromatic stimulation, there is also a charity initiative behind the Jo Malone London Candle that brings purpose to peace.
As gardens are a major source of inspiration, Jo Malone London is committed to charities that support urban gardens and the communities around them. Jo Malone London Inc. has made a $100,000 donation to New York Restoration Project, New York City’s leading organization transforming green space in underserved communities.
