If someone says you smell like a winery, that’s not typically a compliment. But one perfume maker was so inspired by the bouquet of various bottles, she’s come out with a wine-based fragrance collection she claims is good to spritz before you sip.
Kelly & Jones, a New York fragrance line, says its Notes of Wine Collection includes fragrances that “enhanced all the nuances in the glass and that when combined with a sip of wine, enlightened all the senses.”The line was inspired by perfumer Kelly Jones’ trip to a winery tasting room, where she realized she’d made the faux pas of wearing a perfume that clashed with all the swirling and sniffing. After being scolded by the winemaker, she took some bottles of red and white to her studio and started playing around.
The collection includes five unisex eau de parfum sprays, each focused on a varietal. The sauvignon blanc has notes of “yuzu grapefruit, starfruit, green apple and a hint of camellia flower,” while the cabernet has pink peppercorn, black cherry, tobacco flower and “vintage leather.”
Just the thing for that impossible oenophile on your list?
