Sitting down with Angelica Tosato (ex Jo Malone London Global Product Marketing Presidential Associate) next to a glass of Villa Pinciana wine, a conversation regarding JML products who’s influence on her was lit.  

What do you love about Jo Malone London products? 

There are so many options! From floral to woody there is a fragrance for every occasion. The cologne is perfect for the day, giving a fresh and light aura whilst cologne intense is more suitable for the evening. Furthermore, the creativity behind every product is what makes Jo Malone so special. Each product has its own story based off its ingredients; my favorite one is that of the Vetiver & Golden Vanilla cologne intense whereby the vanilla is handpicked from the orchid-sown Malagasy jungle.  

What do you think is the future of scented candles? Will they always be in demand? 

Although scented candles have been consistently popular, diffusers are becoming increasingly sought after – particularly for the younger generation. Diffusers are relatively easier to manage. Nevertheless, the romanticism entangled with the atmosphere a candle induces is one that cannot be untied. Personally, I like lighting two candles at the same time – like lighting up the two Christmas scents of White Moss & Snowdrop together with Pine & Eucalyptus. Christmas is such a special time at Jo Malone – there is always an original theme so the packaging is so exciting so make sure to keep up with this! 

What are your favorite products? 

Before working at Jo Malone London, I had always been a fan of their candles. However, as soon as I began working there, I discovered all the fragrances, which I now use on a daily basis. I personally prefer citrus scents to fruity and thus, use Lime Basil & Mandarin all day long. My favorite candle is Pine & Eucalyptus as it reminds me of home.

Has your taste sensitivity changed since working at JML? 

Yes! Prior to Jo Malone, I loved floral but now that I have discovered the citrus scents, I cannot imagine using anything else. However, I have also begun to appreciate the diversity of the fragrances and truly embraced this variety – whatever mood you’re in or age you are, there will always be a fragrance to escort you.  

Has your attitude towards self-care/beauty changed since working at JML? 

I have definitely altered my attitude towards fragrances and have begun to wear them on a daily basis, not just in the evenings. I also have fallen in love with shower scrubs, always in the Lime Basil & Mandarin scent, get in the shower and scrub scrub scrub! It’s very soothing after a long day at work and once I’m out I take the Body Crème, the scents are present but not overpowering and they really moisturise well - it truly adds a soothing closure to the day.
