Kelly Jones, Founder of Kelly + Jones fragrances, is in the Perfume Room today! We love a controversial perfume line and this one is no exception. While wine aficionados frown upon and often go as far as actually forbidding wearing fragrance in the tasting room, Kelly + Jones fragrances are specifically meant for exactly that! Each scent is inspired by the tasting notes of a different wine or spirit and is best enjoyed alongside said wine or spirit. No – the Kelly + Jones Chardonnay scent doesn’t smell like you spilled a glass of a buttery California chard all over your clothes (though you know I’d wear that); instead it has notes of amber, oak, orris, and apple meant to highlight a said California Chard’s woody, vanillic and fruity qualities...
Kelly and I chat about everything from her prior career in the industry in marketing, the origin story of K+J, and how when in doubt, follow the cherry blossoms. And YOU KNOW we conclude the episode with fragrance/alcohol pairing and tasting!
