Jo Malone - do you have a favourite?

It's so expensive but I'm tempted to go for the Rose one. Lot's of the JM fragrances smell divine and less chemical than channel for example. Just not sure I can justify £50.00 for 30ml. If you like JM, what's your fav?

I have Red Roses and Orange Blossom - I wore them together for my wedding and the scent always takes me back - it’s nice to read how many other people say the same! Orange Blossom on its own is my Mediterranean holiday scent, and I wear Red Roses alone a lot day to day as I find it really fresh and easy to wear.

I also really like Nectarine and Honey but not bought yet, and BlackBerry and Bay is autumnal but still light- reminds me of a hedgerow in the rain.

I do want to try the Jo Loves… perfumes as well.

I look elsewhere for my heavier winter jumper fragrances- Shalimar (Guerlain) and Coromandel (Chanel)

Ooh also meant to say, I have Pomegranate Noir but I once read a review saying it smelt of pencil shavings, and now that’s all I can smell! (Apologies)

I absolutely love Tuberose Angelica, but I never see or hear anyone mention that one. I don’t know if I’ve got funny taste

I like Orange Blossom. They get bad press for not being long lasting or strong but that suits me as I'm prone to migraines and can have really strong aversions to smells

Thank you! lot's of good suggestions to try out.

I get horrendous headaches when I'm around very string perfumes such as Channel and also MIL's one. So pleased I did not react to the Jo Malone ones.

Orange Blossom
Gardenia…this was discontinued but then brought back in the archive collection and is now sold out though. Lucky that I have a spare bottle in the wardrobe!

SpicyJalfrezi · 27/08/2021 20:53

Wild bluebell for me - just smells like the spring.

Total agree I have the JM rose and also the Aldi rose and can’t tell the difference!! Both smell the same I have put one on each wrist and ask friends, they all say the same they smell the same.

Peony and blush suede is my favourite I love it! I just wish it lasted longer.

Germolenequeen · 27/08/2021 21:51

I've had the mock version Jenny Glow and the Velvet & Oud is fab 🙈

Scrambledbeans · 27/08/2021 21:54

Dark amber and ginger Lily- I’m a complete cheapskate and got my first bottle as a freebie but now I’m completely hooked as much as it pains me!

SmoggieC · 30/08/2021 19:17

Myrhh and tonka, nice and heavy

Bleachmycloths · 30/08/2021 19:43

Buy a 100 ml bottle. Don’t waste £50 on 30 ml. ALWAYS ask for free samples of the perfumes.

@Bryonyshcmyony

Try the unisex Oud and Bergamot - definitely fits your brief!

Bryonyshcmyony · 30/08/2021 19:48

How funny I've just ordered it!!

Moonface123 · 30/08/2021 20:14

I buy the small tester samples from Ebay, they are ok, but nothing that special. I think the bottles of perfume are over priced.

HelloMissus · 30/08/2021 20:18

Velvet Rose and Oud

@Bryonyshcmyony

Really!! It’s maybe an acquired taste but I love it, hope you do too. An expensive mistake otherwise Smile

Localocal · 30/08/2021 20:40

Grapefruit is my favorite now, but if they still made it my favorite would be honeysuckle and Jasmine. I adored that one.
