What's your favourite! There's so many beautiful scents, do you have a personal favourite?

None last on me from the duty free shop to the aeroplane. Nice but forgettable

NarNooNarNoo · 23/03/2022 21:11

Snap with a few others - my wedding day scent English pear & freesia

I had a sample of pomegranate noir which lasted for hours and I loved so treated myself to a whole bottle.
What a waste of money - the smell fades within half an hour.
I think the sample sprays they have in the shop must be a higher concentration than those they sell as a good spray of pomegranate noir from the shop lasts hours on me!
To me JM is a con and I won't be buying anymore.

I noticed the same thing! The sample lasted but my own bottle contained stuff with a scent that faded quickly. (I was fed up as it was so expensive.)

Myrrh & Tonka

Orange Bitters. I don’t buy them anymore tho. No staying power!

alilstressed · 24/03/2022 05:37

Pomegranate Noir

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 24/03/2022 05:52

Blackberry Bay. It’s one of my favourite scents of anything!

Capturetotalelotion · 24/03/2022 06:34

Blue agave and cacao they brought it back for a while, not as strong as the original but I’m ok with that. It is cologne not parfum. Also love blackberry and bay, Pom noir and lime, basil and mandarin which I layer depending on my mood!

HelloDulling · 24/03/2022 06:35

I love Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, but the smell doesn’t last.

wizzler · 24/03/2022 06:37

I like Blackberry and Bay but much prefer Jo loves and wear Pomelo every day now

Justilou1 · 24/03/2022 06:41

I love the Earl Grey and Cucumber scent, but it has as much staying power as the Zara ones. Blackberry and Bay is so autumnal and has that clean, dry feeling like a cool, sunny day evokes. Dark Amber and Ginger Lily is sultry and humid, but far too expensive. I loved the little special edition ones in jam pots. The Marmelade one was mouthwatering, but again… too dear.

Which 'Jo Loves' perfumes are like the Jo Malone ones?

I'm not sure if you're aware, but Jo Malone sold her business (and therefore the name of the range) to Estée lauder in 1999.

She started Jo Loves in 2011. I can't really answer your question as to which "Jo Loves" perfumes are like the Jo Malone ones, because I don't know all the fragrances in both ranges. There is a new Jo Loves fragrance out called Golden Gardenia. This is the Jo Loves website if you're interested www.joloves.com/

CherylStreep · 24/03/2022 17:54

Poppy & Barley
Myrrh & Tonka (Aldi do a good dupe)

DeckTheHallsWithGin · 24/03/2022 17:57

The perfume parlour versions are very good and very cheap- much longer lasting and smell identical to me.

LadyEloise1 · 24/03/2022 19:41

I amn't a fan of Jo Malone perfumes.
I hate Pomegranate Noir and Lime Basil and Mandarin. I dislike Red Roses as I dislije rose perfumes.
Freesia and Pear is unusual. It's strong. But I'm not a fan.
I like the Oud Beegamot candle but buy the dupe in Aldi.
I was at a JM concession yesterday and had a spray of new ( to me ) scents.
I'll stick with my Chanel Jersey.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 24/03/2022 20:53

I wish you could get testers. I like the sound of the Golden Gardenia from Jo Loves but don't want to spend a fortune and find I don't like it!

FangsForTheMemory · 24/03/2022 21:04

I haven't found one of hers that I like. they are too sickly for me.
