Nicest Jo Malone perfume

I have a birthday voucher for JM. I've always wanted one of their perfumes. Which ones should I look at- just to narrow things down?
Do JM fragrances really last? The only perfumes (not eau de toilette) that last on me tend to be heavy/ deeper fragrances, such as coco.

Oud & Bergamot. The nicest scent OH has ever owned.

Pomegranate Noir is wonderful. I find all the others a bit posh green grocer to wear, but they are lovely to scent bed linen, and the candles are gorgeous.

It is hard to tell as you often can't smell fragrance on yourself. I often get compliments on my Amber and Lavender when I can no longer smell it.

My favourites to wear on their own are Amber and Lavender or English Pear and Freesia.

My favourite combination is Pomegranate Noir and 154 which gets loads of positive comments

Love blackberry and bay for summer. I didn't think it lasted very well, but I've had compliments from people a few hours after putting it on, so it must last longer than I thought!

Lime basil and mandarin and orange blossom last longer, I think. I have the lb&m bath oil and the house still reeks smells delicious from last night's bath.

I think JM perfumes are dreadful. I'd spend your voucher on the shower gels, bath oil or candles. Orange blossom, and white jasmine and mint, are my favourites.

I have Chronicle of Red Roses. It's so lovely. 15 ml bottle of Red Roses and 7 ml bottles of Honeycomb. Sweet Lemon and Scarlet Red Rose. JM do a Lime, Basil & Mandarin Chronicle set too. It's so nice to have the set to fragrance combine and more interesting than just one bottle.

I went ridiculously over the top. Kind of regretting it but tempted to lee them. Roses cologne, the fig one and roses body cream. Also bought one if the black bottles. What am I thinking!!! Got completely carried away with combining the smells.

Hmm
Maybe I'll buy my husband some for his birthday (and steal some from him occasionally).
