Escape the everyday along the windswept shore. Waves breaking white, the air fresh with sea salt and spray.
Alive with the mineral scent of the rugged cliffs. Mingling with the woody earthiness of sage. Lively, spirited and totally joyful.
‘This fragrance is different for me’ – says Christine Nagel, perfumer of the composition.
She adds: ‘Sea air is mixed with salty and mineral texture of sand and stones. As the scent of driftwood it has natural and fresh sophistication. A complex combination of wood and sea is in its essence. It provides the feeling of freedom and natural spirit.’
Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne was created with the intention to evoke the feeling of pleasure, freedom and escape into nature, inspired by the unique character and quality of British beach. With the aim to reflect the whole idea, photos of the advertising campaign were taken in Northumberland by the British fashion photographer Tim Walker.
