Although this isn't a single scent, it's hard for us to decide which one is our favourite when Jo Malone launches a new collection. Inspired by the Bloomsbury group, a set of English intellectuals, the scents hold elements of quintessentially British notes (think: old books, cigars and whisky) that are apt tributes to its namesake.
