He and his colleagues have created a wonderful series which reflects our common interest in great music and St Johns long commitment to our Virgin Islands home,” said Rhys Moore, CEO of the St Johns Fragrance Company. “I think our customers will love the series, and we are hoping that this collaboration will evolve into a long-term relationship.”
