Ooh friendly, I'd like to smell the mimosa one, may only play again if I get it. The silly thing is I have about 6 bottles of JM at home that I always forget about spraying, though I should get another bottle of French lime blossom as it was my wedding perfume & running low on my 30ml bottle-7th anniversary in 2 weeks!

FriendlyOcelot · 17/05/2018 15:10

Happy anniversary Buck!
The Mimosa and Cardamom really is gorgeous. To me, anyway!

Martha’s, the blackberry and bay is one of my faves - perhaps it will grow on you

Tequilamockinbird · 17/05/2018 15:36

Argh, god damn you mumsnet! I've just spent £225 but have got:

3 x 100ml colognes
5 x candles
2 x hand and body wash

So about £500+ worth of stuff. Christmas = sorted Smile

HettyB · 17/05/2018 15:41

I think I must have gone a bit mad, I’ve never bought perfume before without trying it and now I seem to have stockpiled loads to get the free bits.

Any reviews of:
EO&RC
EO& hazelnut
Pomegranate Noir
Earl Grey and cucumber
154 (or wherever number it’s called)

Also got a blackberry and bay candle...

HettyB · 17/05/2018 15:42

Also, bit of an odd one - do they come cellophane wrapped? Or can I give them a quick sniff before I decide which ones to keep and which to give as gifts?
Otherwise I’m going to have to find a JM somewhere to try them...

buckeejit · 17/05/2018 15:44

I was concerned I had gone over the top with my spending on this-have done 9 orders at £45 a pop! Had no money to start with, but at least y'all are making me feel better about the extravagance. Nice enabling nest of vipers Grin

I may try to sell one or 2 items on eBay. I ordered the peony blush cologne once in a panic as I only had 1% battery left & wanted the 100ml freebie.

Does anyone know who they use for delivery? Can be awful in NI depending who they use...

FriendlyOcelot · 17/05/2018 15:46

Hetty they aren’t cellophane wrapped so you can try them however I think you can tell if sprays have been used because it usually takes a couple of pumps before the first spray comes out? (sorry if that sounded mildly dirty Grin) so if it’s been used it will spray right away...

Still if your relatives aren’t bothered then go for it... I’ve got the same dilemma with a couple of mine!

Taffeta · 17/05/2018 15:47

Meetie - yes there’s a JM shop at North Terminal

I’ve caved and got a free 100 ml English Oak & Redcurrant Cologne, and bought a Wood Sage & Sea Salt candle (my fave).

So for £90 I have:
100ml EO & R cologne
Pom Noir exfoliating body scrub
Tomato Leaf candle
Wood Sage & Sea Salt candle

Not bad at all Smile

Grandmaswagsbag · 17/05/2018 15:50

I’m waiting for 2 scents that I’ve never tried. Glad to hear mimosa is nice, I liked the sound of it. Hettyb Pom noir is delicious, probably my fave scent. EO&H is nice too. I don’t absolutely love it like some of the others but it’s certainly wearable and I think it will combine really well with a few other scents. I’ve just layered Pom and eo&h and they’re nice together too.

HettyB · 17/05/2018 15:51

Thanks Friendly - I might have to pop into a JM at some point over the weekend to try them all as to be honest I may have to send an order or two back as I’ve over ordered!
I’m assuming you can return as long as they haven’t been opened or used, and you return the freebie with the corresponding purchased product?

buckeejit · 17/05/2018 15:58

Hetty- Pom noir is lovely, very festive but nice all year. The hazelnut one is vg too-a suit all imo.

The cucumber I can't remember but it's very popular on JM & the 154 is lovely. I've bought it for dh for Christmas

HettyB · 17/05/2018 16:04

Ooh is 154 more of a masculine fragrance then? Could be DH’s Father’s Day present sorted!

clothcollector · 17/05/2018 16:12

i'm being an enable, just grabbed again and got 100 mls english oak and redcurrant, so they're still there.

buckeejit · 17/05/2018 16:40

I've stolen a spray of the 154 from dh-def suitable for men, was what I was rec'd by them for a gift for dh through the airport once

HettyB · 17/05/2018 16:50

Thanks Buck - I’m visiting a friend tomorrow and she has a JM nearby so I’ll pop in there and have a sniff of all the ones I’ve ordered to work out who might like them!

MarthasGinYard · 17/05/2018 16:52

Friendly

I'll spray it again later Smile

MeetieVonWrinkleSqueak · 17/05/2018 16:55

taffeta - fab, thank you. I’ve just checked and I’m flying out of the north terminal Smile

This is making me feel better about not taking the free 100ml EO&R.

Alpacages · 17/05/2018 17:16

I love the EO&H, always get asked what it is when I wear it as it’s an unusual smell. Lasts all day too.

buckeejit · 17/05/2018 17:49

Just in case you don't know of it-there is a lot of reviews on scents on fragrantica, it can be v helpful. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jo-Malone-London/English-Oak-Redcurrant-46186.html

Dellabob123 · 17/05/2018 18:01

I keep getting hand wash. When will I get cologne or candle prize???

clothcollector · 17/05/2018 18:13

i got 100ml cologne at 12.14 today. maybe they refresh prizes around that time - not sure though

clothcollector · 17/05/2018 18:13

i got it several times in a row

Dellabob123 · 17/05/2018 18:22

NOpe. Tried about 20 times and all hand wash or a hand cream. Not addicted in the slightest.

clothcollector · 17/05/2018 18:25

what time did you try
#obsessed

WellTidy · 17/05/2018 19:04

I must have grabbed at least 100 times, probably more, and no cologne in me. I gave had a candle though. Placed three orders in all, so maybe I need to stop now. I would love a cologne though ...
