The Friends star will be taking her place in the renowned Georgian Restaurant in order to sign bottles of her self-titled first fragrance.

Jennifer has worked closely with the Falic Fashion Group in order to create a scent that is unique to her. The A-list celebrity quoted she desired the fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. One particular aroma the star claims to adore is night-blooming jasmine, which she is able to connect to childhood memories of growing up in California and summer evenings.

Along with memories from the US, Jennifer has taken inspiration from various holidays to Greece and days spent at the beach. The end result is an aroma that is extremely invigorating. This is due to the mixture of the salty air and tropical oils, which represents long sunny days on the beach.

The fragrance is a mixture of sweet scented floral aromas; these include notes of rose, wild violet and Amazon lily with base notes that dry down to a woody aroma of musk, golden amber and sandalwood. For these base notes Jennifer took inspiration from the distinctive smell of wood fires.

Jennifer Aniston’s debut fragrance is available to purchase in three sizes, these include a 30ml bottle priced at £23, 50ml at £29 and 85ml at £36.
