First fo all, that lip color on you... chef's kiss. I wish I could pull off that kind of color. you look stunning! As for JM, they are indeed a house with a more traditional cologne approach (European traditional that is) with the focus being more on a few clear and natural notes, and longevity not being so much of a concern as you're meant to carry it in your purse and reapply to 'freshen up' throughout the day. That's what people used colognes like when my mom (who is 80 now) was a teen. They'd carry small bottles on long strenuous train rides just for a pick me up. Anyway, I like Mimosa-Cardamom quite a lot. It used to be my purse fragrance for some time, both for cold weather - when I'm in my European native country - as well as hot weather - I now live in South Asia. In cold weather it gives you that spicy warm coziness, but in hot weather, especially in South Asia, it ties in very well with the smell of chai (tea), it kinda fits too. If you like warmer fragrances you might want to give JM's Scarlet Poppy a sniff too. It's a very warm and cozy scent, perfect for this time of the year

Thank you for the kind words. I like your point about the European traditional cologne approach. As an American, we prefer scents that last and project so Im convinced that is why Jo Malone gets a bad wrap in here in the States. I can see Mimosa and Cardamon doing well in South Asia. I like Scarlet Poppy!

Like Jo Malone fragrances. Quiet luxury. Great for everyday scents to a night out scents. Red Roses, Cardamom & Mimosa, Myrrh & Tonka, and Nectarine & Honey Blossom are my favorites.

Scarlet Poppy is my favorite Jo Malone fragrance! I also enjoy myrrh and tonka and a few others . Ppl always say JM fragrances don’t last but the Intense ones definitely do! On men the Cypress and Grapevine is my fave😊 I’m so glad you covered these …i may have to get the Red Hibiscus

Scarlet Poppy is growing on me. Myrrh and Tonka is my absolute favorite of the entire house. Thanks for sharing your picks.

I find Jo Malone is a very likeable brand overall - nothing is really offensive - I got their advent calendar last year and it was nice to discover the house. I like nectarine and honey blossom, wood sage and sea salt, and english pear and freesia (for me). Their body washes are amazing btw! TFS!

@beautyallaroundme72418 күн бұрын
Your description of the Wild Bluebell gives me hope, because I'm one of those people who are extremely sensitive to fragrances, but still want to smell nice. If anyone else knows of any other fragrances that are good for sensitive people, let me know.
@MissLexi920Ай бұрын
I have a few. My favorite for Fall/cold weather is Dark Amber & Ginger Lily (paired with the matching body cream). When I want come across as unbothered or naturally put together, I pull out Basil & Neroli. Another Fall favorite vibe - Poppy & Barley. For summer vibes - Nectarine Blossom & Honey. A classic when I don’t want to put thought into it - Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I also learned about mixing fragrances from the Jo Malone counter years ago.

Hi Santa! Honestly if it were not for you I would have never sampled the Jo Malone fragrances. I still have to test the ones in the black and red bottles, but i fell hard for Peony & Blush Suede.

@juliam.4569Ай бұрын
I heard one KZbinr talking about the history of Jo Malone fragrances (the transparent ones) - that they are all done in a way that they can be mixed (layered) with each other. 😮 Interesting concept
@TheSantaMaria1Ай бұрын
Yes the sales reps tell you that and the samples give layering suggestions.

My favorite is sea salt and wood sage but until they make an EDT/EDP it's a no for me. No longevity, so it became a bedtime fragrance for me.

@brynmawrbeth318Ай бұрын
I have a few of the deluxe samples (with the atomizer) that I do "really enjoy"!! I can't really comment on longevity as I don't really expect them to be long lasting! I usually wear them when going to the gym, going for a walk, or...if I am going to an event or a facility where fragrance is prohibited. But, I also don't understand the "hate" it receives on social media?
@TheSantaMaria1Ай бұрын
Yay for deluxe samples! You can really test the fragrance out. The hate comes from the lack of longevity and performance.

Mimosa Cardamom is the only fragrance in the house that has any projection on my skin. And I love it. I layer it with many of my other fragrances. I love Jo Malone scents but for the price it is just not worth it. If they had any lasting power and projection I’d probably own every single one!
