What is your favourite JM fragrance? My in-laws gave me money for Christmas and I quite fancy spending some on new perfume. Last time I was in I tried Blue Agave & Cacao. I liked it but I worry it might be a bit cloying after a while. Any advice gratefully received.

I love English Pear and Freesia, Vanilla and Anise or Amber and Lavender worn singly.
I wear 154 and Pomegranate Noir together.

My mum has never worn perfume but has started since discovering Lime, Basil and Mandarin.

I think you just have to go, ask advice at the shop/counter and try some

Dark Amber and Gingerlily is divine.

don't like Pomegranate Noir, it doesn't suit me, but Lime Basil and Mandarin or Vetiver are lovely. I need some more JM, but never go through Gatwick

Afraid I think they are all vastly over-rated and don't like any any more. But perfume is a hugely personal thing.

Another vote for Pear and Freesia. Closely followed by White Jasmine and Mint.

Wild Bluebell is my fave.

White jasmine and mint for summer and handwash by my sink. For winter I rotate and mix between pomegranite noir (bit bored of it at the mo) blue agava and cacao (too sweet and heavy for spring/summer), vanilla and anise and blackberry and bay (current favourite).

I love Jo Malone because it's so much less "chemically" than other perfumes (disclaimer: no idea if actually the case or just the smell!)

DH wears Pomegranate Noir, that stuff lasts & lasts! Originally I got a tester for moi but didn't like it on me, it's lovely on him!

I got Blackberry & Bay for Xmas & it's gorgeous.

I wear orange blossom with white jasmine and mint on top. I get lots of compliments. But it does fade very quickly Sad

Another 154 here and Lime Basil and Mandarin - also Grapefruit. And Amber and Lavender... I think I'm a fan generally. Grin
