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):

@LCResz Please forgive if you already posted a review for this. Have you tried? PS Nordstrom has this at 20% off. I have a weakness for JM Rose scents 😘

[blackkitty2014]

@LCResz @itsfi  Report back; it’s a solid release. I love it. I still believe Nordstrom marked this off by mistake 😂🤣 and I’m glad I buy blind. Sorry I’m not great I’m describing scent but it reminds me of TF Rose line not same scent but same vibe. It’s beautiful. I recommend it. 

[itsfi]

Yes!!! I'm so happy you picked this up @blackkitty2014! That was a wonderful deal - and using gift cards just makes it that much better. I was wondering whether it would be along the lines of the Tom Ford Rose scents so your feedback is helpful. No more Nordstrom near me but there are other department stores that carry Jo Malone, as well as a JM boutique so I may have to make a trip that way at some point. 🤔

@blackkitty2014 @LCResz, this looks and sounds beautiful! 😍

[blackkitty2014]

@itsfi @LCResz  It has good ratings on Nordstrom site. I’m so tempted to blind buy. 😘 

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, I will only speak for myself and not for @LCResz who is smarter about these things than I, but I would fully support your blind buy of this beauty. 🤣 That's probably not helpful, is it? 

[blackkitty2014]

Gee peer pressure…but it works. I trade my CC points for digital GC to get this. I will report back. Hopefully it is good 😊 

[LCResz]

@blackkitty2014 Didn’t see this release out of London and now I understand why! I love rose and coffee notes together. So I hope this one lives up to the potential of these glorious ingredients! Let us know all about it!

[LCResz]

Looks like the holiday LE 2024 has gone live abroad, so look for it coming soon to this side of the pond! Fir & Artemisia sounds masculine leaning, with the balsam and leather notes, but the floral artemisia may bring it back to unisex, can’t wait to try it out!

Just in case you missed it...the JM Ginger Biscuit is back, and it's for sale on Sephora! (I missed this last year and kept kicking myself!)

[LCResz]

Finally a real NEW fragrance from JM! Cologne Intense Hinoki & Cedarwood. 

[CorgiMommy]

@LCResz I will have to sample this.  I love this brand 

[itsfi]

Oh, I’m very interested in this @LCResz. All on board with a real new release! Would love to get your take on it if/when you try it. 

[LCResz]

New (or possibly a rerelease of 2021 Orange Peel) release:

Press info: The great tradition of marmalade making. Orange peel simmers on the stove, its vibrant aroma and bitter bite tantalizing the senses. Warm woods are blended with orange zest to create a marvelous, golden fragrance. A refined take on this most British preserve. 

Inspired by Paddington’s™ favourite treat, limited-edition Orange Marmalade cologne is a scent you’ll want to take everywhere with you – just because you can. 

A tantalizing citrus woody scent inspired by the great British tradition of marmalade making.

Available now at Neiman Marcus. It was my favorite from the Summer Fete Marmalade Dreams collection so count me in!

[itsfi]

@LCResz, thank you for this. I have no idea how I missed the 2021 release, or maybe I just forgot about it. This sounds wonderful. Orange scents usually are 👍🏼 for me; do you recall how the woody scent is on this one - is it heavy? 

[itsfi]

@LCResz, do you know if this new, limited edition Scented Mementos collection will make its way to North America soon-ish? 

 

[LCResz]

@itsfi The new collection is available on JM’s UK website, such a departure with their packaging, I know I’ll be collecting all of them, you?

The notes as provided on Now Smell This:

Emerald Thyme ~ inspired by an antique medicine bottle; an aromatic fresh citrus with lemon, petitgrain, thyme, rosemary, moss and geranium.

Ginger Beer ~ inspired by a brown glazed ceramic ginger beer bottle; with cinnamon, amyris, vetiver and roasted oak.

Musk Memento ~ inspired by an antique ceramic soap dish; with mallow, aldehydes, lavender, cedar, white musk and amber.

Passiflora ~ inspired by an antique British botany book; a floral with cardamom, honeysuckle, vanilla, passionflower and tonka bean.

[blackkitty2014]

Looks liked these show up over Nordstrom now @LCResz @itsfi 

[LCResz]

@blackkitty2014 @itsfi @ChristalM Passiflora is my favorite, followed by Emerald Thyme, then Ginger Beer, with Musk Memento not doing anything for me at all. They are indeed cute but itty bitty! Worth the price? Only if you can get them for a discount honestly. 

[ChristalM]

@LCResz @itsfi  I picked up the Passiflora this weekend and OMG such an AMAZING fragrance. I was sad to see it is only a 30ml bottle. I am debating buying two more before it is gone 😞
