Jo malone perfume does it last?

I was in London yesterday and found myself in Jo Malone. Everything smelt so good! So I ended up buying a new perfume. Now I have buyers remorse. I was wondering if you wear it everyday how long does a 100ml bottle last you? Also are the accompanying Bath oils etc worth it?

Peony, pomegranate and honeysuckle all last on me, I love them! JM gets a bad rep on here but I adore the smells so happy to pay

Did it get taken over at some point? Because I think the scents used to last but that was years ago and now they are really wishy-washy. I don’t buy them anymore because even though I love all the scents they never last on me, even the stronger ones in the black bottles. I prefer Diptyque now.

To me, Jo Malone perfumes are essentially lightly scented water. They last on me for 10 minutes, tops.

I have orange blossom and it doesn't last I'm afraid

They are colognes which obviously don't have the longevity of eau de parfums. Also many are citrus scents which are more fleeting. My Penhaligon's citrus colognes don't last long either. Try the JM Cologne Intense strength. As I wrote earlier Red Roses lasts very well.

Some do. Pomegranate especially.

I love Oud &Bergamot, it’s one of the intense ones and does last all day on me. I often layer it with either another cologne, shower gel or body lotion though - that definitely helps with longevity.
But they are colognes not perfumes, and most might need “refreshing” by lunchtime.

I love their solid perfume compact, although it’s quite weighty, it’s great for subtly touching up your scent without subjecting the rest of the office/cloakroom to a spray! I hate walking into the office loos and getting mouthful of someone else’s deodorant/perfum - although I understand why people want to freshen up, it’s a closed environment and always makes me cough!

I wear dark amber and gingerlily and it lasts all day on skin and several days on tops etc. I think the lighter cologne type scents naturally are more fleeting.
