Hello, Honey!

Estée Lauder Companies brought us again the epitome of British luxury when it recently hosted an intimate press preview of Jo Malone’s latest scent — Honeysuckle & Davana.

During the event, sunny yellow and soft peachy shades of honeysuckle welcomed guests at the Silk Pavilion of Blue Leaf Events Pavilion in Taguig City. A mini-box stamping station also allowed guests to design their box covers with stamps of flowers and leaves in different colors.

Jo Malone London brand general manager Camille Oloan welcomed guest speaker, Jo Malone London Asia Pacific education director Felix Nguyen, who introduced the Honeysuckle & Davana collection to the guests. Felix also gave quick tips for fragrance combining with the new scents — using grapefruit for an extra hint of sunshine or Oud & Bergamot to make it a daring evening scent. 

Each guest went home with a bottle of Honeysuckle & Davana (which I gave to my mother) and a scented candle (which I kept).

The beautiful brunch set up for the event.

(This scent is now exclusively available for a limited time only at Jo Malone London Greenbelt 5, SM Aura, SM Megamall, S Maison, Podium, Okada Manila, Rockwell Power Plant Mall, Resort’s World Manila, Rustan’s Shangri-La and Rustan’s Cebu.)
