Jo Malone

Profile

This venue is closed.

Through her heavily touted (not to mention trademarked) art of fragrance-combining, famed British nose Jo Malone has garnered quite a Statesides following. Malone’s technique involves layering products made with unusual ingredients like nutmeg, ginger, fig and cassis, to create a scent that’s unique to the individual. Ironically, this spot for olfactory non-conformity has become so popular that the shops are frequently packed, making product- mixing questions tough to answer, much less smell, in the teeming throng. Luckily, all of the individual elements in Malone’s concoctions can also be used solo, and the rest of her line—including the deep-cleansing Skin Refining Serum with avocado milk or the cooling Green Tea & Honey Eye Cream—pack in benefits beyond the pleasing smell. Also on hand are pre-blended fragrances in signature, cult-favorite Malone scents like Basil & Verbena, Amber & Lavender and Lime Basil & Mandarin. — T Sahara Meer

The “spa” is limited to only one service: Malone’s signature facial. If the price tag seems high, take a gander at the glowing skin of the sales associate, more than enough luminosity to inspire a three-figure fee. The 75-minute procedure starts with a double cleanse, then moves on to a seemingly endless series of massage techniques using the house skin care line. The treatment is available by appointment only in the flagship Flatiron store Tuesdays through Saturdays.
