First fo all, that lip color on you... chef's kiss. I wish I could pull off that kind of color. you look stunning! As for JM, they are indeed a house with a more traditional cologne approach (European traditional that is) with the focus being more on a few clear and natural notes, and longevity not being so much of a concern as you're meant to carry it in your purse and reapply to 'freshen up' throughout the day. That's what people used colognes like when my mom (who is 80 now) was a teen. They'd carry small bottles on long strenuous train rides just for a pick me up. Anyway, I like Mimosa-Cardamom quite a lot. It used to be my purse fragrance for some time, both for cold weather - when I'm in my European native country - as well as hot weather - I now live in South Asia. In cold weather it gives you that spicy warm coziness, but in hot weather, especially in South Asia, it ties in very well with the smell of chai (tea), it kinda fits too. If you like warmer fragrances you might want to give JM's Scarlet Poppy a sniff too. It's a very warm and cozy scent, perfect for this time of the year
Thank you for the kind words. I like your point about the European traditional cologne approach. As an American, we prefer scents that last and project so Im convinced that is why Jo Malone gets a bad wrap in here in the States. I can see Mimosa and Cardamon doing well in South Asia. I like Scarlet Poppy!
I have and enjoy ginger biscuit and the mimosa and cardamom one. They are nice. I had but decluttered scarlet poppy but after smelling it again, wish I had kept that one.
Like Jo Malone fragrances. Quiet luxury. Great for everyday scents to a night out scents. Red Roses, Cardamom & Mimosa, Myrrh & Tonka, and Nectarine & Honey Blossom are my favorites.
Scarlet Poppy is my favorite Jo Malone fragrance! I also enjoy myrrh and tonka and a few others . Ppl always say JM fragrances don’t last but the Intense ones definitely do! On men the Cypress and Grapevine is my fave😊 I’m so glad you covered these …i may have to get the Red Hibiscus
Hi Santa. I was in the Jo Malone store recently and they mixed Red Hibiscus and Mimosa and Cardamom together and it smells wonderful. I just purchased them both for the Jomashop sale. Love your videos. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the video and your authenticity ❤. I love Ginger Biscuit, it gives major Ginger Snaps. Where do you get your backdrops from. I'd love to use different backgrounds for my content
I have a few. My favorite for Fall/cold weather is Dark Amber & Ginger Lily (paired with the matching body cream). When I want come across as unbothered or naturally put together, I pull out Basil & Neroli. Another Fall favorite vibe - Poppy & Barley. For summer vibes - Nectarine Blossom & Honey. A classic when I don’t want to put thought into it - Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I also learned about mixing fragrances from the Jo Malone counter years ago.
I find Jo Malone is a very likeable brand overall - nothing is really offensive - I got their advent calendar last year and it was nice to discover the house. I like nectarine and honey blossom, wood sage and sea salt, and english pear and freesia (for me). Their body washes are amazing btw! TFS!
The wild blue bell one I was curious about because I remember seeing it listed on scent split website & wondered about. I have a sample of ginger biscuit, i was like meh when I first smelled it, I’ll try it again soon.
Your description of the Wild Bluebell gives me hope, because I'm one of those people who are extremely sensitive to fragrances, but still want to smell nice. If anyone else knows of any other fragrances that are good for sensitive people, let me know.
Hi Santa! Honestly if it were not for you I would have never sampled the Jo Malone fragrances. I still have to test the ones in the black and red bottles, but i fell hard for Peony & Blush Suede.
I have a few of the deluxe samples (with the atomizer) that I do "really enjoy"!! I can't really comment on longevity as I don't really expect them to be long lasting! I usually wear them when going to the gym, going for a walk, or...if I am going to an event or a facility where fragrance is prohibited. But, I also don't understand the "hate" it receives on social media?
I love Jo Malone but I do enjoy simpler scents and idk if it’s my body chemistry or because I’m an oversprayer but I have no problem with them lasting.
I heard one RUclipsr talking about the history of Jo Malone fragrances (the transparent ones) - that they are all done in a way that they can be mixed (layered) with each other. 😮 Interesting concept
I was hoping you’d like Wild Bluebell so I could send it to you because I have a full bottle just sitting in my collection taking up space. I do enjoy the brand but this particular scent doesn’t have enough personality for me either.
Mimosa Cardamom is the only fragrance in the house that has any projection on my skin. And I love it. I layer it with many of my other fragrances. I love Jo Malone scents but for the price it is just not worth it. If they had any lasting power and projection I’d probably own every single one!
JM Peony Suede is beautiful, I get some compliments, very classy and professional. Downside: no longevity. Not back-up bottle worthy as I like my scents to project and last long for my money spent

I just got my English Pear & Sweet Pea in the mail today. IN LOVE! Thanks for the review! ❤
Nice! Love that one. You are so welcome.
I'm going to order this for my girlfriend 😊
I don’t get really cool weather where I live so I wear mimosa cardamom for date nights or evening affairs. I love your honest reviews!
That sounds amazing! Thanks for watching.
I have and enjoy ginger biscuit and the mimosa and cardamom one. They are nice. I had but decluttered scarlet poppy but after smelling it again, wish I had kept that one.
Aww man. Hate a declutter regret.

They are quiet luxury fragrances indeed!

Scarlet Poppy is growing on me. Myrrh and Tonka is my absolute favorite of the entire house. Thanks for sharing your picks.

Sounds great!
Thanks for sharing these perfumes 🙌🏽🤩
You are welcome

Thank you for the kind words. Amazon is your best friend as a content creator for gadgets and displays.
Good video! I’m just starting to explore JM more. Will have to go to Sephora and try these
They have so many scents and discovery sets too.
I have a few. My favorite for Fall/cold weather is Dark Amber & Ginger Lily (paired with the matching body cream).

You are a pro at Jo Malone!
I find Jo Malone is a very likeable brand overall - nothing is really offensive - I got their advent calendar last year and it was nice to discover the house. I like nectarine and honey blossom, wood sage and sea salt, and english pear and freesia (for me). Their body washes are amazing btw! TFS!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the house.
I'm wearing Ginger Biscuit today too. 😊 Great choices. I have all except the last one, bluebell.
Yay for Ginger Biscuit! You are a Jo Malone collector!
I'm about to try Orange Bitters which, like Ginger Biscuit, is apparently another holiday limited edition.
I saw Orange Bitters on the Jo malone website too. Im interested as well.
I enjoy Jo Malonen fragrances , thank you for this ❤
You are so welcome
The wild blue bell one I was curious about because I remember seeing it listed on scent split website & wondered about. I have a sample of ginger biscuit, i was like meh when I first smelled it, I’ll try it again soon.
I hope you sample it soon.
That English pear freesia cologne is interesting good
Nice
Your description of the Wild Bluebell gives me hope, because I'm one of those people who are extremely sensitive to fragrances, but still want to smell nice. If anyone else knows of any other fragrances that are good for sensitive people, let me know.
You should try“myrrh and tonka” from Jo Malone Santa Maria. It’s one of my favorites.
Ive already reviewed it . I enjoy it too
Hi Santa! Honestly if it were not for you I would have never sampled the Jo Malone fragrances. I still have to test the ones in the black and red bottles, but i fell hard for Peony & Blush Suede.
Hi Carla! Awww yay! I love to hear stories of exploration. Peony and Blush Suede is that girl!
I have a few of the deluxe samples (with the atomizer) that I do "really enjoy"!! I can't really comment on longevity as I don't really expect them to be long lasting! I usually wear them when going to the gym, going for a walk, or...if I am going to an event or a facility where fragrance is prohibited. But, I also don't understand the "hate" it receives on social media?
Yay for deluxe samples! You can really test the fragrance out. The hate comes from the lack of longevity and performance.
JM: vanilla & Vetiver is good as well. However Mimosa & Cardamom is my favorite scent.
Thanks for sharing
Hi have you try the Fig and Lotus Flower, is my favorite I just got a 100ml bottle
I have not tried that one. Sounds interesting!
I love Jo Malone but I do enjoy simpler scents and idk if it’s my body chemistry or because I’m an oversprayer but I have no problem with them lasting.
I spray my whole outfits (head to toe) with my Jo Malone's.
They are simpler scents indeed and they do have a place in the fragrance world.
Dear Santa! I have ginger biscuit love it❤❤❤
Also, you need to smell Sakura Cherry Blossom it’s beautiful..
But it leans more for spring & summer...
Thanks for the suggestion!
I heard one RUclipsr talking about the history of Jo Malone fragrances (the transparent ones) - that they are all done in a way that they can be mixed (layered) with each other. 😮 Interesting concept
Yes the sales reps tell you that and the samples give layering suggestions.
My favorite is sea salt and wood sage but until they make an EDT/EDP it's a no for me. No longevity, so it became a bedtime fragrance for me.
Thanks for sharing
Okay hear me out, Poppy and Barley lotion! Wow, I have had lotions from different niche brands, but that one is soooo good.
Interesting!
My fav is myrrh and tonka
I love it too!
I was hoping you’d like Wild Bluebell so I could send it to you because I have a full bottle just sitting in my collection taking up space. I do enjoy the brand but this particular scent doesn’t have enough personality for me either.
Awww I appreciate you thinking about me.
“Lemme tell you something.”-Santa, it’s giving Santa Maria approval vibes when she says that.
hahahaha you know my lingo!
My favorite is Myrrh and Tonga.
Mine too
Mimosa Cardamom is the only fragrance in the house that has any projection on my skin. And I love it. I layer it with many of my other fragrances. I love Jo Malone scents but for the price it is just not worth it. If they had any lasting power and projection I’d probably own every single one!

I have Peony and Blush Suede too. I love feminine it is. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I can’t stand that ginger biscuit lol but the wood and sage plus English pear and freesia are Everything
Thanks for sharing
Have you smelled the Bond no.9 Bond Number One? I purchased, but it’s definitely more for the ladies lol
I have not but I plan to soon.
🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥
Thank you
I can't find any Jo Malone I really like. I like wood sage but meh. Idk why. I thought I loved it all at one point but I do not.
Thanks for sharing .
