It all came about when, quite unexpectedly, I ended up with an invitation to a free hand and arm massage for two through the post. Let's just say it was a great start to an average Tuesday morning, and it took all of five seconds to decide I would take them up on their kind offer and plan a girly afternoon of lunch, shopping and Jo Malone. It took a further five seconds to convince my 'Plus One'.
I have lusted after one of their newer scents, Earl Grey and Cucumber, for some time now, and it was the perfect opportunity to get a small bottle to see me through the first flutter of Spring. It is a fairly citrus-based scent but not at all heavy or sickly, and perfect for when you want to wear something as bright and fresh as the morning air outside.
My secondary scent (chosen as a base for my massage) turned out to be, unusually, Peony and Blush Suede, seeing an unlikely pairing of citrus and floral which worked out to be as delicious as caviar at the Ritz.
It was a flying visit to my two favourite friends, Jo and Harvey, and a worthwhile Thursday spent doing something spontaneous and sumptuous with a dear friend.
