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?

I've never actually brought anything from Jo malone but the white jasmine and mint is one of my favourite scents of there's so I might have to invest in one in this year x
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely unique scent isn't it? I might invest in the candle! xx
DeleteAwww 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! ❤

DeleteHow 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.

Thanks Gemma, hope you have a lovely weekend too! xx
DeleteBoy 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!

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
DeleteI'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. (:
