For the Love of Jo Malone

Posted on: Friday 13 January 2017


For a good few years wandering around any Jo Malone shop/department I can find (there isn't one in Hull - sob) and spritzing myself with my favourite scents has been my guilty pleasure when I'm out and about. It really is one of those perfume brands that can just made you feel ten times happier/more attractive/vaguely rich (call me shallow if you wish, but you know it's true). When I'm wearing Jo Malone I feel like a sassier, more confident version of me. For some people it may be a designer bag or a pair of heels that makes them feel that way. For me, it's Jo. 



I know there's supposedly some sort of science to how you mix Jo Malone perfumes and this mixture probably doesn't fit that science at all, but I love the smell of these two mixed. They smell amazing on their own too obviously, but together it's like the English Pear and Freesia adds a freshness, while the White Jasmine and Mint stops it smelling too sweet. Dreamy. (And that's about as technical as I get when it comes to describing perfume).

These are definitely my special occasion perfumes so I'm sure they'll last ages, but seeing as I still need something to spend my birthday money on (should spend it on something sensible like a kitchen cabinet, definitely won't) I might treat myself to a body butter or a candle because obsessed. 

Are you a fan of Jo Malone? What's your favourite scent?

  2. Awww Amy, how kind of the boyfriend to surprise you with not one but two of your favourite scents! I definitely agree with you, smelling good is a great confidence boost! I definitely need to spritz some Jo Malone scents, I've not sampled them before! ❤

  3. Ah...could I love Jo Malone any more?! My favourite is the sea salt and sage one - reminds me of being on holiday which always helps!

    Also how amazing is your boyfriend for making you a homemade advent calendar...what an absolute babe!

  5. How sweet of him to put two Jo Malone scents in your advent calendar as surprises - and clever to have built up to them with chocolates and herbal teas haha :) English Pear & Freesia is a beautiful fragrance.

  8. Boy did good! I've actually never tried Jo Malone perfumes, I'm not mad for perfume in general. I just buy cheap Zara ones that are dupes of more expensive ones! I love that you mixed perfumes though :) might have to try that myself!

    1. He did indeed! I only like quite subtle scents and Jo Malone is great for that - I hate being able to smell something sickly sweet on myself all the time though! xx

  9. I've actually never heard of this brand but it sounds like quite a good investment (because treat yourself!) but I am in love with the packaging. It's so simple yet elegant. Thanks for sharing this. (:

  16. I haven't tried anything from the brand as yet but I've had my eyes on a couple of the scents since last year and I'm hoping this is the year I get to try one. I sniffed a few already and they are delicious.
