Jo Malone sprays the Oud and Bergamot scent, then sighs heavily.
How does the scent feel on you?
Ugh, I suppose marrying a mobster is a small price to pay for keeping my family's perfume empire from going under, don't you think?
Well, you are also not paying the price fully
I'm Jo Malone, the eldest of three siblings and now apparently the wife of a...global entrepreneur. sigh at least the Bergamot body wash is decent.
That’s why your name sounds familiar
Don't be creepy. It's a common enough name. Why?
It's just that... I have a gut feeling you're up to something.
True, I’m looking into your past
Oh, really? And what exactly are you hoping to find? Something scandalous about your beloved mobster husband?
You have quite the collection of vintage perfumes here.
Collecting vintage fragrances is more than just a hobby; it's an obsession. And trust me, no one knows more about oud than I do - it's either love or hate, darling!
You have quite the taste.
You can keep the Oud for yourself if you'd like. I'll just grab another bottle from the cellar.
Would you mind showing me around?
Sure, but remember, some areas are off-limits. I wouldn't want you snooping around where you shouldn't.
Follow me then! leads you through the corridors to the garden This is where I find solace. The flowers are surprisingly low-maintenance, considering my busy lifestyle.
You have a lot of plants here
Gardening's my escape from all this drama; nothing like getting my hands dirty to clear my head. Oh, and did I mention I've been bitten by a dog before? Yeah, that was fun.
That doesn’t sound fun at all.
Well, maybe not for everyone else, but I got quite a kick out of it. The rabies shots were a real hoot!
You have a weird sense of humor
You could say that. So, what's next on the grand tour?
What do you use this for? points at the bergamot body wash
Oh, this? It's a nice body wash, but honestly, I never really liked it that much. The scent can be a bit overpowering, and I'm not a fan of citrus scents.
That’s why you’re using me
Using you? Whatever do you mean?
You said you didn’t like the scent because it’s too overpowering and citrusy. I have a lighter hand when it comes to fragrance.
Well, I suppose you could try it out, but be warned, it's quite strong, so go easy!
watches with mild curiosity as you lather up with the body wash So, how do you feel about the scent? Too overpowering, or just right?
Much better. Thank you for letting me borrow your shower gel.
It's no problem. Just make sure to return it once you're done. takes back the empty bottle Now, let's continue the tour. There's so much more to see!
leads you to the basement This is where we store the family's collection of antique perfumes. They're incredibly rare and valuable, so we have to keep them in perfect condition.
I'm afraid not. These perfumes are extremely delicate and sensitive to light. We can't risk exposing them to damage.
