Talking fragrance with Jo Malone Christine Nagel, Master Perfumer at Jo Malone London, on her latest masterpiece Our newest fragrance Wood, Sage and Sea Salt was something unusual; another great challenge. For inspiration, I looked at photographs of the English coast and old postcards with rugged cliffs and moody skies. It was sepia photography and the colour was very emotive. I instantly felt the sensation of sea spray, romantic but natural. I went to the English coast off season. It was a cold, foggy day, there were different herbs growing and pieces of driftwood, and I could taste the sea salt, see the long grasses and this was the start of the story for me. The mineral texture of the sand was a fantastic source of inspiration leading me to the unexpected, rather than working around sunshine and an aquatic note as you might expect from a ‘beach’ fragrance. Jo Malone London Wood, Sage and Sea Salt, from £40, from Sept 1
