Alexandra Kathryn Mosca — Exploring Life and Death: A Writer's Journey

I was recently at the Jo Malone counter at my local Bloomingdale’s and struck up a conversation with a fellow customer. We both expressed our love for Jo Malone scents, enthusiastically sharing our seasonal favorites and discussing what makes each fragrance special. As we explored the array of options, we playfully spritzed on a few others to test them out.

The woman asked me what my favorite Jo Malone summer scent was, and I immediately responded: Sea Salt and Wood Sage.

Jo Malone’s Sea Salt and Wood Sage evokes a day on the beach and a night at a seaside restaurant. I recall the first time I tried it. The freshness reminded me of ocean breezes and sun-kissed skin, instantly transporting me to carefree summer days. There’s something magical about how it captures the essence of nature while still feeling sophisticated. Each spray feels like a little escape to the shore, making it the perfect companion for warm, sunny days.

I always keep a small vial of Sea Salt and Wood Sage nearby. The refreshing fragrance provides an uplifting boost throughout my day as a funeral director. It has a remarkable way of brightening my spirits and offering a moment of calm in the often heavy atmosphere of my work. This simple act of self-care helps me stay centered and present.
