Great video! I know this sounds weird but when I have a fragrance that's too strong for hotter weather or is just a heavy fragrance but I still want to wear it, I spray it on my ankles and behind my knees. The distance from my nose and others noses seems to soften it up and make it wearable for daytime or in the heat.
My favourites are the Dk Amber and ginger lily and the velvet rose and oud. I go back to them all the time. I've stopped passing their counter now as I know I'll fall for another one and I have so many fragrances I need to start using them up! The smaller bottles are a really good idea!
Love those together and I've stopped passing their counter as well since I have far too many (not so mention all the samples!) and now they're offering a smaller size of the intense fragrances, so I will definitely be going for those in the future. :)
What a great video. I love Jo Malone fragrances and Dark Amber and Ginger Lily is also my favorite fragrance. You have come up with some unique pairings that I must try. I wear English Pear and Freesia paired with Wood Sage and Sea Salt very often during the summer.
I purchased bronze wood and leather , I pair it with an old Salvatore Ferragamo 1999 grapefruit lemon scent. It works amazing since there is already a little grape fruit in the bronze wood. Amazing scent for sure. My next purchase will be the Dark amber ginger lily. Love your enthusiasm for Jo Malone.
Hey Laura,I know I mentioned I'll be back to Jo Malone soon,well soon came faster than I thought lolz.I picked up Black Cedarwood & Juniper Cologne the other day.So nice :) They were very generous with the samples as well,so I found a couple of cool layering concepts that go good with it too.Basil & neroli matched good with it,so did blackberry & bay.Just wanted to pass by to tell you about my new pick up :) Have a Blessed weekend.Peace & Love.
Laura, I enjoy watching your videos. I brought the Velvet Rose and Oud because I watched various videos that convinced me. I hope I haven’t made a mistake
Love you collection My favorites are the Dk Ambar ginger lily and Amber & pachuli, lime basil. Tuberose Angelica, and tropical cherimoya, and the other one that I have sage sea salt I use it to make layering
Well it's good to know I'm not the only JM hoarder😉! I also like to make my own lotions to layer with my fav scents. My favorite is also dark Amber and ginger lily, seems to last longer then the other fragrances. I liked the Amber and Patchouli intense JM it's discontinued 😣 I've searched the internet to find but no luck. I purchased from EBay in The past and got burned with a JM creme! I was mad but learned my lesson.. I really enjoyed your video thank you! 👍
Thank you for this awesome video! You have a great collection! I only have Nectarine Blossom and Honey, Blue Agava and Cacao, and about a month ago I bought Myrrh and Tonka (from the intense line). Last year when I got the NB&H and the BA&C, I wanted to buy so many more that I decided to stop myself and put some distance lol, especially because they don't last long but now with time I find that it is a plus, because like you said, you can actually wear something complementary or totally different later in the evening if you need to. So, I've started feeling the temptation again! I have so many in my wish list that I think I'll have to go with the smaller bottles to be able to buy more and have more mixing options. On my wish list are some of the ones you have: blackberry and bay, mimosa and cardamom, wood sage and sea salt, wild bluebell, black cedar and juniper, and white jasmine and mint. Unfortunately for me the basil and neroli, and lime basil and mandarin, do not agree with my skin, they smell bad on me, i haven't tried orange blossom, I hear those 3 go with everything. I've been wanting Velvet Rose and Oud and Dark Amber and GL for so long too, but the fact that I'd wear them mostly in the fall and winter stops me, but now that they have the small bottles for the intense line I might cave. The other day I tried my sample of Velvet Rose and out with wood sage and sea salt and it actually transformed the scent so nicely. I agree with you, I think Velvet Rose and Oud is amazing but then I'm not sure if it's something I want to smell like, but with WS&SS I think it tones it down and is more wearable for me, or maybe I'm just trying to justify buying it bc the scent is amazing. Sorry for the super long comment. Thanks for the awesome video and ideas! :)
Thank you for your response. I too had to stop purchasing for a while so I can use what I have (and clearly I already have too much!). I can't wear the Lime, Basil & Mandarin either but I have e diffuser in my entryway and love coming into the smell of it in my home. Of the ones on your wish list I would recommend the Blackberry & Bay and Wood, Sage & Sea salt - both perfect transitional scents for spring/summer and fall/winter and both would work well with what you have. I missed out on the Blue Agava & Cacao since it's now been discontinued, but that was next on my wish list. Probably best that I stop for a while but I always love hearing how others combine their fragrances and what their favorites are, so thank you! :)
Finally, a JM video...been waiting for so long! :-) Thanks for this video! Also a JM fan! How do you actually layer it? Do you spray the fragrances over each other or do you spray it on different parts of the body seperately?
I typically spray over each other - one when I get out of the shower and the other after I'm dressed. And then when I get home from work, I may spray another - and other if I'm going out in the evening. I'm a little crazy like that, but I think all of their scents work great together. Thanks for watching!
I first apply an oil (sweet almond oil), then my heavier scent, then the lighter scent on top of that. That really works well for longevity and projection🙂 I am a HUGE JML fan too!
Thank you for sharing your JM combinations. Been using JM for a long time (mostly I steal some spritz from my husbands collection 😅). I know you can layer them but haven’t tried just now.
After trying several Jo Malone fragrances . I have decided that my personal favorite is the mimosa and cardamom.. It seems to work the best on my body chemistry. It comes off as a lovely sweet not overbearing scent. It's interesting how the same perfume can react so differently on each person's body. My mother-in-law swears by Chanel perfumes and I found the smell of them completely over powering on me! Go figure!
I love JM & own about 7. BUT, ANY perfume can be mixed or layered with whatever you feel you like. They use that as a selling point, to make ppl buy more than one while they are there & want more for the future. Mix any brand with any scent.
Hey how you feeling lady?Very cool video,and EPIC JM collection :) Of course I've heard about this house for years,but only got my nose on it recently.Immediate fan lol!I went to the Beverly Hills boutique and picked up a 50 ml of Myrrh and Tonka...Absolutely gorgeous stuff!Wore it once only,and it got me tons of compliments.That Earl gray & cucumber mixed with English Pear sounds very interesting.I really liked the English Pear as well,they threw in several samples,and I like them all.I'll be back soon haha.Keep up the good work,I subbed :) Peace/Blessings/Light
I missed on out the Blue Agava fragrance since it's now been discontinued - was next on my list so I may end up purchasing in store if I come across any leftovers. :)
I have a stupid question. Is Honeysuckle & Davana for men or women? I bought one as a gift for a lady friend but I'm not sure since it says cologne on the cover...
Wow, I recently found you and just dug up this gem from 6 years ago. Love your taste and style! 6 years later, do you still enjoy Jo Malone? What are your top 3? 😊
@@amosunia thank you and yes, I still enjoy Jo Malone but don’t have nearly as many as I used to. My top 3 are Mimosa & Cardamom, Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Myrrh & Tonka.
not from Jo Malone, but if you like Chanel's Gardenia you might like (or, most likely, you will abolutely fall in love with) Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain. The whole line of butique Guerlain fragrances is just amazing, but this particular scent is just heaven! I have very similar taste in perfume to yours (Beige is my all time favorite perfume)), so I would be happy to see your full collection :)
Red Roses has amazing staying power on me, over 14 hrs. Do you think Basil & Neroli could pair with Dark Amber & Ginger Lily? If you've tried it, how did it smell?
Would you say the basil and Neroli is more herbal and green, or more floral? I have a quite a few of those petitgrain-Neroli eau de colognes, like Neroli Portofino, so I’m wondering if getting basil and Neroli would be redundant for me. But if it’s more about basil and the greenness, it could be worth looking into.
Yes, I have neroli portofino as well and it’s much sweeter and more citrusy than this one which is fresher and more herbal. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy that.
Definitely not. All Jo Malone fragrances are colognes so they have limited staying power, but the intense line lasts a bit longer so i typically apply in the morning and again in the evening.
My colleague American girl who sits next to me at the office, owns English pear & Freesia, and Orange bitters. I love both smells on her. What's more, I am going to purchase English pear & freesia and use it on my own. It is so sexy, I can't help it but wanting to purchase it for me. By the way, I am 32 year old male. I think, E. pear & freesia is pretty boy type of unisex fragrance
This video is like a small coffee table book of recipes ! Highly enjoayable video !!!

Thank you. I've paired those as well in the summer and they are lovely!
My very favorite Jo Malone is Blackberry/Bay for fall & winter and Peony/Blush Suede for spring& summer. BUT I love all the scents from her.
Mine too
Thank you for that beautiful lady .
My fave is dark amber , so I'll try the our next.
Many thanks

Thanks Sam. It's actually lovely - not sure why it was discontinued, but Jo Malone seems to do that a lot.
I love dark amber & ginger lily!

Thank you. This was beautiful
Wow ! You don’t go cheap , you got all the 190 bottles. 👍🏻
What a great collection , another great video.
Thank you!
I bought Mimosa and cardamom based on the hype and I didn't like it, I will try layering it with Wood, sage and sea salt before decluttering it

Thank you - love Jo Malone and I'm always looking for other videos!
Great Jo Malone video thank for sharing how u mix the different scents.
Thank you for watching!
my combo is nectarine blossom and honey with midnight musk and amber

True. I hadn't really done that before JM, but am doing it now and have found quite a few other combos I like.

My favorite combinations are dark amber and ginger Lilly with blue agava and cocoa. I also love myth and Tonka with blue agava and cocoa.
I missed on out the Blue Agava fragrance since it's now been discontinued - was next on my list so I may end up purchasing in store if I come across any leftovers. :)
Jay Nine I will try those combinations! I would not have thought of mixing myrrh and tonka with blue Agava and cacao 😊
You totally should. Have you sampled the new Bloomsbury collection? The tabacco and mandarin goes well with myrrh and Tonka too.
Jay Nine thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely go and try it.
Jo Malone London:
Wood Sage/Sea Salt + Honeysuckle/Davana = for the win.
I have a stupid question. Is Honeysuckle & Davana for men or women? I bought one as a gift for a lady friend but I'm not sure since it says cologne on the cover...
Jining Qin all JM fragrances are unisex, so you’re good! 👍

I don't have any Jo Malone fragrances... I will check them out
They are wonderful but my advice would be to start with the smaller size bottles since they can get pricey. :)
They just has a $25 sampler but must subscribe to jo malone email.
Red Roses has amazing staying power on me, over 14 hrs. Do you think Basil & Neroli could pair with Dark Amber & Ginger Lily? If you've tried it, how did it smell?
I've never tried those two together, but love both of them separately.
I’ve tried amber and ginger lily with basil and neroli it’s amazing I love them together
Oh didn’t care for English Pear and Freesia at all.
Please your favorite from.tom ford
Super
I have vanilla and anise, do you know what would pair nicely with that?
I haven’t smelled that one but vanilla pairs nicely with almost any of the intense fragrances.
Any suggestions for an Orange Blossom lover?
Jo Malone Orange Blossom is beautiful, but Tom Ford also has some beautiful ones.
@@alittlebitlaura No, I mean anotehr JO Malone cologne for someone who love her orangeblossom
What's the perfect pair for POMEGRANTE NOIR if you want to tone it down? Thank you.
I would recommend Wood, Sage and Sea Salt to tone it down a bit.
@@alittlebitlaura yaaas, that's exactly what I pair my Pomegranate Noir with Wood Sage & Sea Salt. It smells so good together.

I haven't tried that one but sounds like something I would enjoy!
Can you plzz tell me what is the name vanilla perfum is discounted were you got that thanks
paeeze5 it’s called rosewater & vanilla but has been discontinued.
Yes i know you say that thanks and i did look at eaby and find it there its too expensive 🙁
how long velvet rose and oud last?
Lasts MUCH longer than my other JM fragrances - I would say all day.
