Hey all, thanks to an amazing poster on her explaining how to go on private mode on iPhone, I was lucky enough to win a candle in the game (using as a gift) and also I bought a candle for me. This is my first Jo Malone candle and I normally used Yankee candles. I tried my joM candle last night (orange blossom) and I have to say that I was seriously underwhelmed. I could barely smell it, and I let it burn for 2 hours expecting it to get better and it didn’t. Are jo Malone candles usually like this?

honeybeeq · 20/05/2018 16:47

My last 2 orders are still saying 'in warehouse' anyone else got this too?

buckeejit · 20/05/2018 17:06

BB - the Pom noir candle is/was great but I was underwhelmed with French lime candle. Hope they're not all like this or gone downhill lately. Time will tell...

BanningTheWordNaice · 20/05/2018 17:24

Same - I did one order late Monday with a free shower gel and it was delivered Wednesday, my order from mid day Thursday with a free 100ml is in warehouse. They’re oos of the hazelnut and red currant so hopefully they’ll just dispatch when they’re in stock again, I’d be really disappointed if they cancelled mine when some people have got like 3 or 4 free bottles.

Grandmaswagsbag · 20/05/2018 17:26

What? They might cancel? I think I’ll actually cry a little bit, I’m waiting for a 100ml EO&R that I’m desperate to try.

Grandmaswagsbag · 20/05/2018 17:36

I’d much rather just wait for my order to come back in stock than have it cancelled. Hope they give a choice.

HettyB · 20/05/2018 20:12

Surely they shouldn’t have put more into the ‘grabber’ than they had in stock?!

I’ll be gutted if I don’t get my 100ml EO&R...

Taffeta · 20/05/2018 20:12

I went into the JM shop today & sprayed myself with EO & R.

8 hours ago. Can still smell it! Really like it & looking forward to it arriving. Smile

SmilingButClueless · 20/05/2018 21:12

Just tried the EO&R body creme that I won. Love the scent, but really not keen on the texture. It just seems too thick to easily absorb into my (relatively dry) skin. Anyone else have this problem or am I just odd? Definitely wouldn’t pay over £50 for it.

MarthasGinYard · 20/05/2018 21:20

Delivery 3 of 6 arrived yesterday

The lime, basil and mandarin cologne is gorgeous

I'd only ever had it in a diffuser before

I'm gifting the EO&R candle

MarthasGinYard · 20/05/2018 21:21

Taffeta

Good news that it lasts well

I can't wait to try mine I like EO&H but slightly masculine, I'm hoping this I will love.

babyinthacorner · 20/05/2018 21:23

I got my order last week but only just opened it. I'm using the white jasmine & mint freebie candle and gifting the sweet almond and macaroon candle I bought.

SO disappointed with the jasmine & mint. It doesn't smell of anything! Sad

wovendeckchair · 20/05/2018 22:38

oh no, i have an order i'm waiting with the redcurrant and oak 100 ml as my freebie. its been pending in warehouse since tuesday now. do you think they'll cancel it. nooooo! my first JM order.

CocoaGin · 20/05/2018 22:50

I got 100ml of the EO & H, it's very lovely which is a happy surprise. It's not overtly feminine which I like, as my current favourite is Stash by SJP that again is very woody. I bought a 30ml bottle of Orange Blossom but it's quite overpowering to start and disappears very quickly Hmm. I'm not quite sure about it tbh. I ordered Tuesday and it arrived yesterday by Yodel (Gloucestershire)

WellTidy · 21/05/2018 08:55

My three deliveries came via Yodel on Saturday. I have had to hide them as I haven't had time to open them without DH being around (and questioning why I have bought so much in one week!). I'm assuming that the contents are present and correct.

I too grabbed in excess of 100-150 times, at different times of the day, over the 4 days, and I didn't get any 100ml colognes. The one candle I had, I took. I would have taken a 100ml English oak and Redcurrant cologne any day (not the English Oak and Hazelnut though). Jo Malone cologne is way over budget for me so I am not even going to look at ebay.

I will be really pleased with my purchases I hope, as I am gifting half of them when birthdays come up later in the year.

MotherofTerriers · 21/05/2018 09:53

My orders on 15th and 17th are still pending

HettyB · 21/05/2018 10:17

I’ve had one of my orders from the 15th, the other is out for delivery today.
No word on either of my orders from 17th, which is annoying as they’re the ones I really want!

HouseworkIsASin10 · 21/05/2018 11:09

Has anyone got 2 or more orders delivered?

I placed 3 orders on 14th, and they all arrived on 17th. Everything turned up (and now hidden).

Tequilamockinbird · 21/05/2018 11:14

I placed 5 orders on Thursday Blush and they all still say 'In warehouse'. I hope they don't get cancelled.

Grandmaswagsbag · 21/05/2018 14:27

I’m waiting for a final order from thurs too. Really really hope they don’t cancel.

MarthasGinYard · 21/05/2018 14:36

I've had 3 still awaiting three from thurs.

Haven't checked status will have a butchers

BanningTheWordNaice · 21/05/2018 16:01

I’ve just checked mine and there’s a yodel tracking number attached so assume that means all is well and I was just being impatient :D hope everyone else’s go through too!

Tequilamockinbird · 21/05/2018 17:50

1 of my orders has now been despatched Smile

MotherofTerriers · 21/05/2018 17:56

All of mine despatched now

HettyB · 21/05/2018 18:04

All of mine have been dispatched but I’ve just got an email saying the gift (not sure which one) may be subject to a delay of up to three weeks!
So perhaps the two orders that haven’t arrived will only be the purchased items?
