Jo Malone Thread: Share the News and Love!

[LCResz]

I've searched high and low and haven't found a dedicated Jo Malone thread, but knowing how many of us enjoy JM products I though it'd be nice to have a place where we can share upcoming news and our favorites.

My all time favorite is Blue Agava and Cacao, followed by Peony Blush Suede.

I just picked up Basil and Neroli, which to my nose is a dead ringer for Bobbi Brown Beach! As I love Beach, I think this fragrance is going to be a new fave come the spring. It is different enough from Lime, Basil, Mandarin to justify owning both in my collection. Basil and Neroli emphasizes the Neroli while LBM is heavy on the basil and lime, which give it a more herbal edge.

EDIT: Updated Jo Malone and Jo Loves perfume collection (100ml, 50ml, 30ml, dry body oils):

The latest news from Now Smell This website: Jo Malone will launch Jasmine Sambac & Marigold, a new fragrance in the Cologne Intense Collection. The brand has also reissued Plum Blossom, Nashi Blossom and Sakura Cherry Blossom as the limited edition "Blossom Girls" collection.

Serene fields of jasmine sambac. The most precious jasmine of all. Pure white buds plucked at dawn. Fresh with dew. Coveted gems of the colourful Indian flower market. Glowing against vibrant marigold and exotic ylang ylang. A beautiful contrast of garlands. Entwined with rich benzoin resin. Enveloped by the warmth of vanilla and amber.

Jasmine Sambac & Marigold is now available at Blue Mercury and Neiman Marcus last i looked 😉

@blackkitty2014 During my recent JM boutique excursion I got to take this out for a test drive and unfortunately... I LOVE IT! Dash it all, why does JM know how to make a feminine and sensual cologne so well? It is a richly floral fragrance, and as night Jasmine is one of my all time favorite scents this one hit me where it hurts, but it's a good hurt 😉 What's most surprising is the Marigold, which is a sweet and green type of floral scent, and it manages to go toe-to-toe with the redolent jasmine. Together they are a walk through a garden late at night, the scent acting as your paramour as it wraps itself around you while you breathe in deeply and let out a sigh of contentment. I had to get the full sized bottle, and it's been an adventure layering it with my other JM scents. It goes insanely well with Peony & Blush Suede and Star Magnolia!

[blackkitty2014]

@LCResz, I love it too. At first I think it is too similar to TF Jasmine Rouge but the Marigold makes it different enough that I can justify a full-size bottle. It is on my love list. Thank you for the layering tip. I must try it now

Jo Loves will launch a new scent in April. It is called Orange Butterflies. It will be available in 50 & 100ml bottles. The scent is inspired by her travels to southern France. The notes include orange blossom, mandarin. Neroli, and petitgrain. This is all the information I have for now. I am hoping tbat Sephora will carry this one too. 

[blackkitty2014]

I will be interesting to see how this different from the current Jo Malone Orange Blossom 😉 Thx @Scentual1

[Scentual1]

I think she cannot duplicate any scent in the JO Loves line. Yes, I am curious about this scent, too.

Does anyone know if the JO MALONE line will discontinue any scent(s) this year? I keep asking the reps I have access to, but they all say I haven't attended my Spring training yet. I would like to purchase a favorite before it disappears.

Hey guys! I got a call from the Jo Malone counter at my Nordstrom today to let me know that they are getting some scents from the Blossom Collection back for a limited time in the next week at Nordstrom! The three scents coming back are Cherry Blosson, Nashi Blossom and Plum Blossom. If any of you are looking to snag these LE scents while they are available, contact your local Nordstrom Jo Malone counter to see if they are getting them in at your local store! 

[GG84]

Did you check these out yet @gonerogue? I smelled them all today, I didn't fancy any of them. 

[gonerogue]

@GG84 I didn't end up attending the master class! 😞  I've been working a lot lately so I had to skip it. I'm curious to smell them- they all sound like I would enjoy them but I know Jo Malone can be a hit or miss for me.

The Catch Me If You Can game for a full size product is on! Does anyone know if this game has ever come to the Canadian site?  I "won" the Nutmeg and Ginger bath oil ($65). It is a good excuse to try out their new lip balm:)

[snickerdoodle10]

Did it work for you to check out with just the lip balm and still get the gift? For me it says that I can only redeem the gift with a minimum purchase of $65. (This wasn't the case last year!)

[AmethystCrush]

No, you do need to meet the minimum purchase before getting the prize. The value of the prize does not go toward the minimum.

[lachaton]

@AmethystCrush Sadly, I haven't seen the promotion available on the Canadian site 😞 I keep hoping that will change!

[Scentual1]

Jo Malone has a new lip care product: English mint and Ginger lip care $30 for 9ml jar. It is available on the JO MALONE website, not sure if when it will go to other stores.

These look great, @LCResz! I wish I loved somewhere near a Jo Malone counter.  I hope they will come to Sephora!

[modernwarpaint]

My rep just got these in at the counter!  Going to smell them next weekend when I get back into town - really stoked 🙂 

[LCResz]

I got a chance to try them out this weekend at Aventura Mall, and let me tell you the bottles are even prettier in person! I wound up falling in love with Oat & Cornflower, it is sophisticated and yet comfortable all at the same time. My next favorite was Poppy & Barley, which is a sweet floral grounded by clean musk. Next I would rank Primrose & Rye, which isn't terribly original but would work very well on days when I want something pretty and uncomplicated. Green Wheat & Meadowsweet was the most herbaceous of the bunch, and while I found it fresh and interesting, I just couldn't imagine myself reaching for it often. My least favorite was Honey & Crocus since it really was too sickly sweet for me.
