Back then, the fragrance and candle company was only a kitchen-based operation. Malone would go on to develop the firm for another 16 years until she sold the brand to Estee Lauder in 1999.
Since the sale of Jo Malone London, Jo Malone CBE has entered her second act with Jo Loves. Many people entering their 60s would balk at the idea of starting a new career from scratch.

According to Malone, this newfound perspective has already produced dividends in her health, marriage, and outlook on everything else life has in store for her.
Ultimately, the chance to build a new outlet for her creativity is one of the things Jo Malone CBE enjoys most about this phase of her life.
