To me, the Jo Malone range or experience as I like to call it is synonymous with style and luxury. A visit to one of her beautiful stores will great your nose with a variety of fresh and feminine fragrances with a difference and the clean lines and beautiful packaging are all part of the experience.

You know how suddenly, when you catch a hint of fragrance, it suddenly sparks off a memory for you? This gorgeous, evocative scent stirs up some wonderful memories for me as I wore it at my wedding in Italy and the honeymoon afterwards.

As soon as I smell this, the fragrance makes me think of warm summer days, golden light, green trees on mountains, cool blue evenings, and Mediterranean sunsets. For me, I think this is the perfect late spring-summer fragrance and the essences act as an instant ...  Read the complete review

Having heard so much about Jo Malone scents and how good they were I decided to give them a whirl. I Seized the chance to buy some samples from Ebay as Jo has two stores in London but thats a way to go just to smell nice. One of the samples I bought was Pomegranate Noir and it's gorgeous!
