Jo Malone Fragrances

If you’re in the mood to spoil yourself with a new fragrance, try out some of the many offerings from Jo Malone. Originating in a small boutique in London, Malone’s fragrances have taken the world by storm due to their fresh and interesting scents and their ability to be mixed and matched. The “art of fragrance combining”, as the website calls it, is the possibility of combining two or three of the twenty one perfumes to create a signature scent of your own. By layering the scents you can give a citrusy scent more depth, or a floral scent a little warmth. It’s kind of like a fun chemistry experiment with absolutely delicious results! You can even spritz one perfume on your wrists and apply another to your collar bone to create a more dramatic sensory effect, or try one flavor of body cream with another flavor perfume for another interesting combination.

Here are some of my favorite combinations:

Pomegranate Noir with Orange Blossom

Lime, Basil Mandarin with Grapefruit

Honeysuckle Jasmine with Orange Blossom

In the staid world of fragrances, Jo Malone’s offerings are playful and orignal. The versatility of the perfumes allows the option of varying your scent depending on your mood or on an occasion. A definite recommend for the fragrance obsessed.
