Advantages: Gorgeous

Disadvantages: Expensive

Classy

I first experienced a Jo Malone fragrance a couple of years ago and used the same scent for a good while (blue agava and cacao). I then bought some Pomegranate Noir body crème and used them together, what a wonderful combination! Jo Malone does encourage customers to experiment with using different fragranced creams together with scents.

Initially I thought that this was simply a gimmick, but it really is worth experimenting. Any time I have visited a Jo Malone store, the assistants have been very happy to let me try as many different creams and fragrances as time allows! It really is quite amazing the number of different combinations that work together.

I think that the scents do fall into two categories: daytime and nightime. Certainly in my opinion, something like the Pomegranate Noir is more suited to the evening as it has very spicy, rich tones. I have just recently bought the Lime and Basil scent (recommended to me by a number of people) and this scent I find to be very clean and refreshing- great for the office or out to lunch.

This has been said in other reviews, but I would reiterate that once you find the Jo Malone scent(s) for you, it is very difficult to persuade yourself to buy something different- even if it is less expensive.

Finally, I would like to mention that Jo Malone does some wonderful gift boxes with miniature scents. Not cheap, but a great special gift for a good friend or a relative who loves luxury!

Summary: Sometimes it's worth spending more
