The Kohdo Wood Collection: Lotus Blossom & Water Lily by Jo Malone Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

The World of Jo Malone™ introduces the Kohdo Wood Collection, two captivating fragrances created as a modern interpretation of Kohdo, the ancient Japanese art of incense appreciation. Two scents, each reflecting the spirit of a particular time of day, envelop the wearer in fragrant ceremony.

Welcoming the daytime, vibrant Lotus Blossom & Water Lily is designed to wake the senses and energise the soul. It is a fresh, classy scent that is perfect for a day at the beach or dinner at Swifty's. In the perfume market, it holds its own for unique qualities which are not easy to achieve in a market that is literally oversaturated. The quality of Jo Malone is top-notch and this is not a perfume that fades away easily, nor is it a perfume that is overpowering. Just perfect, Lotus Blossom and Water Lily is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.

Created to inspire the senses, the Kohdo Wood Collection takes the wearer beyond the Kohdo incense ceremony and into his or her own dawn and dusk moments.

Lotus Blossom & Water Lily

Lotus Blossom & Water Lily’s blend of mandarin, sacred lotus blossom, bamboo and aloeswood, encourages energy, inspires confidence and focuses the mind, making it the ideal scent to use during the day.

Mandarin is vibrant and lively in nature. Referred to as the little heart of the sun, it is thought to shed light on the drudgeries of the everyday and encourage a sense of joy. The nature of the sacred lotus blossom is serene and spiritual, representing the dawning of a new day. Bamboo offers strength and grace, a symbol of longevity and the path towards enlightenment, while aloeswood, whose character is refined and rich, is believed to impart both mental and physical benefits to balance the mind and body.

Part of the Kohdo Wood Collection, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily can be worn alone or combined with Dark Amber & Ginger Lily to create an intoxicating scent.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
