Favourite Jo Malone perfume?

39 replies

name6785 · 21/07/2021 11:58

I can't get to a store but have a voucher.

I love very strong scents, some of my favourite perfumes are La Vie Est Belle, opium black, Chanel Coco mademoiselle, Malone midnight something or other.

I'm on the forever hunt for my signature scent!

Any recommendations?

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 21/07/2021 12:05

yeah i think its discontinued. Lime blossom/tilluel(sp?) is such a beautiful smelling tree, that im surprised that you never find it as a fragrance. I did get a PP dupe, but it smelled too chemically

I've got myrrh and tonka bean. It's quite a heavy scent and smells lovely.

Drybird2020 · 21/07/2021 12:23

Pomegranate Noir is the one you need if you like strong scents.

BumBurnerBum · 21/07/2021 12:25

Lime blossom is my favourite too. So sad it was discontinued.

Yes this, it would tie in perfectly with the fragrances in your OP.
MissTrip82 · 21/07/2021 12:29

I like similar perfumes to you and love pomegranate noir.

My favourite too!

I would agree on Myrrh and Tonka, gorgeous warm scent, I always get compliments when I wear it. I also really like Birch and Black Pepper (though that one maybe isn't as consistent with your other favourites).

DecentPleasant · 21/07/2021 12:30

You might like Amber and Lavender as well as Pom Noir.
I adore Oak&Hazlenut and both of those.

Jumpingintosummer · 21/07/2021 12:31

Other than Jo Malone I only wear chanel mademoiselle.

My favourites are Myrrh and tonka, Woodsage and seasalt, dark amber and ginger Lilly and Poppy barley.

name6785 · 21/07/2021 12:35

Yes I would love to try Pom noir, I have an FM dupe which I kind of like but a tad unsure of, I've heard JM dupes aren't great so I probably need to smell the real thing.

Amber and lavender. Wood sage and sea salt (I think) quite masculine smells though

From the perfumes you list, there aren't going to be many JMs that fit the brief. Most are very very light colognes, with a "linear" series of notes, nothing complex.
Myrrh and Tonka possibly might fit your likes.
My favourite is Woody Sage thingy but it's fresh and clean.

whychangethehabitofalifetime · 21/07/2021 12:49

I wear Mademoiselle, and my favourite JM is Peony and Blush Suede! I love it.

LastStop30 · 21/07/2021 13:00

Peony and blush suede is my favourite

Jumpingintosummer · 21/07/2021 13:04

Collections are great but if you but in store you usually get a sample or a free 9ml.

Whitney168 · 21/07/2021 13:04

French Lime Blossom seems to be easily available?

www.jomalone.co.uk/product/25946/9990/colognes/french-lime-blossom-cologne?size=100ml

JM Grapefruit is my summer go-to, usually standard Coco in the winter. The JM is obviously much lighter.

Whitney168 · 21/07/2021 13:05

(Quite tempted to try the Lime Blossom ...)

Lanique · 21/07/2021 13:07

I'm a bit of a JM connoisseur - I have about 20 Blush

It really depends on what you like - I would say their scents cater for everyone. I like strong, unisex scents and so my faves are:

  1. cypress and Grapevine
  2. Myrrh and Tonka
  3. Incense and Cedrat
  4. English Oak and Hazlenut

However for the summer I adore Mimosa and Cardamom, and Grapefruit.

Lanique · 21/07/2021 13:10

Oh, and I have worn Coco by Chanel for years, and I can see you like strong scents, so you might like the same as me OP.

Seeing your list, I would also try Velvet Rose and Oud, Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, and vetover and Golden Vanilla.

Another of my fave scents is Halfeti by Penhaligons.

Lanique · 21/07/2021 13:11

... and I've just realised you said Coco Mademoiselle not straight up Coco. My apologies. I would still recommend the ones in the post above for you.

UsedUpUsername · 21/07/2021 13:14

Really like wood sage and sea salt. It doesn’t last as long as I’d like tho 😭
