Introduction to Jo Malone London’s Newest Fragrance
Jo Malone London has launched its newest fragrance, Raspberry Ripple, and to celebrate, the brand hosted a summer launch event at its boutique in The Woodlands’ Market Street development. The event was a huge success, with attendees treated to scoops of ice cream and sweet bites from local favorite Luliet Creamery & Bake Shop. This collaboration is part of the boutique’s quarterly series, which highlights local female entrepreneurs.
The Inspiration Behind Raspberry Ripple
According to Jo Malone store manager Nadia Gill, Raspberry Ripple takes its inspiration from the British coastline, evoking memories of childhood summers spent playing in the sun and enjoying a cool breeze. The fragrance is perfect for hot and humid days, and its sweet scent is reminiscent of a refreshing ice cream treat.
Luliet Creamery & Bake Shop: A Sweet Collaboration
Luliet Creamery & Bake Shop is a local bakery that offers a wide range of sweet treats, including macarons, brownies, cheesecakes, cakes, and cupcakes. The bakery’s owner, Nelia Shehaj, is a pastry pro who started her journey at Houston Community College. She enrolled in a pastry class taught by a renowned pastry expert and soon discovered her passion for breaking the rules and creating unique desserts.
The Art of Making Ice Cream
Shehaj’s passion for ice cream led her to enroll in the Ice Cream Short Course at Penn State University, where she learned the science and technology behind making exceptional ice cream. Luliet now makes its ice cream from scratch using all-natural ingredients, with each 100-liter batch taking three days to produce. The small-batch process allows the bakery to create custom flavors for events and seasonal offerings.
What Makes Luliet Unique
Luliet is one of only a few shops in the city that makes ice cream using a traditional, small-batch process. The bakery’s vintage-inspired ice cream cart adds charm to its catering services, and the ability to create custom flavors makes it a popular choice for events and parties. With over 18 unique flavors to choose from, including Raspberry Cheesecake, Luliet has become a go-to destination for ice cream lovers.
Jo Malone London’s Quarterly Series
The Jo Malone boutique’s quarterly series has highlighted several Houston-based entrepreneurs, including fashion designer Nadia Schwab, jewelry maker Susana Vega, and bespoke hat designer Katie Monsen. The series aims to support local female entrepreneurs and provide a platform for them to showcase their talents.
Conclusion
The launch of Jo Malone London’s Raspberry Ripple fragrance was a huge success, thanks in part to the sweet collaboration with Luliet Creamery & Bake Shop. The boutique’s quarterly series is a great way to support local female entrepreneurs, and Luliet’s unique approach to making ice cream has made it a standout in the city.
