Jo Malone Fragrance, worth it?

Do Jo Malone fragrances last on your skin? Do you find that they are worth it?

Hi there!! If you’re considering JM colognes, give their brand’s website a look this week. Jo Malone is running a game-type GWP event at jomalone.com - pick a “room” in the house to reveal your *full-size* gift with $100 purchase! Some are obviously better / higher value than others - like a 100ml cologne vs. hand cream or body wash. Replay if you don’t care for the item that was randomly generated! I’ve seen 100ml sizes of Incense & Cedrat, Pomegranate Noir, English Oak & Redcurrant, Orange Bitters, and Wood Sage & Sea Salt, plus 30ml sizes of Blue Hyacinth and White Jasmine & Mint and 50ml size of Orris & Sandalwood. I redeemed for the 100ml Wood Sage & Sea Salt. The event runs through 06/14/19. This is really a spectacular deal since you can potentially get two full-sized fragrances at 100ml for the price of one. I paid $136 total for 100ml Nectarine Blossom & Honey AND 100ml Wood Sage & Sea Salt! So basically $68 for each one. I usually try to buy all my fragrances from Sephora due to the loyalty points, but you simply cannot beat a full-sized free fragrance...even if you just use the freebie as a gift or want to resell it on eBay. My absolute faves from JM are the Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Peony & Blush Suede, and Myrrh & Tonka intense. I sometimes do find myself reapplying in the afternoon - so I bought a set of inexpensive glass spray vials on eBay & decanted into them so I can just take a tiny amount with me for touch-ups. You can also find rollerball style vials on eBay. I personally don’t consider most JM colognes to be “worth it” at the regular price, but sometimes the GWP really tips the scale on that! Good luck on your fragrance hunt! 🙂

@greenbean13  I adore everything JoMalone ...but I'm afraid the scent dissipates way faster than my other perfumes. Same goes with JoMalone lotions. 

But they've got such classic, sweet, universally-adored scents that I still purchase or gift them despite that downside. My current favorite is Wild Bluebell.

@greenbean13 I def think it’s worth it because the scents are unique. I been using wild bluebell as my only fragrance for the last 6ish years (even as my fall/winter fragrance). It’s expensive and it doesn’t actually last that long on me. I spray once behind my neck and once on the inner bend of my elbow (and dab on the opposite arm), I like to have a light scent on me but I usually reap,y after 3-4hours of when I don’t notice it anymore.

if you don’t mind reapplying and like a lighter fragrance scent, this would be worth it

[greenbean13]

@mmmiu Yeah, that's kind of how I feel too.

I fell absolutely in love with the Dark Amber and Ginger Lily from the Intense collection.  However, I don't think that it lasts very well.  Still, I love the scent so it was worth it to me.  

[greenbean13]

@GingerMelody ooh what kind of scent is that, it sounds lovely! 🙂

[GingerMelody]

@greenbean13  It's a warm woody scent, slightly sweet with the amber.  It's hard to describe and I never would have picked it up but for the Sephora clerk at the Jo Malone counter in Las Vegas.

@greenbean13 I’ve been a JM fan for a very long time. The scent lasts on me. If you fall in love with a scent, I think it’s worth it. 

JO MALONE LONDON - Blackberry & Bay Cologne  

is my favourite. 

[greenbean13]

@GG84 I've never tried Blackberry and Bay but it's on my list!

I loveeee wood sage and sea salt and incense and cedrat but I feel like I constantly have to reapply wood sage. I'm on my second bottle of wood sage so clearly I don't mind that much..  JO MALONE LONDON - Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
