almost edible...

...are some of Jo Malone's colognes with salady ingredients such as this lime, mandarin and basil, earl grey and cucumber and a very chunky sounding wild fig and cassis.

This one a gift but I did buy a bottle in London a few years ago.
The care and occasional flourish that accompanied the final 'resting' in scrunched, black tissue reminded me of the Christmas shopping scene from 'Love Actually'.
A crackle of cellophane, rustle of ribbon, crumble of lavender and snap of cinnamon and Rowan Atkinson's sales assistant immaculate in suit and long apron.
Classic scene and a classic scent.
