Good fragrances shouldn't need help by layering it with other fragrances, shower gels, lotions, etc. If they can't stand on their own, they're worthless
Jo Malone was bought by Estee Lauder and Jo Malone now has her new brand called Jo Loves. When it comes to frangrances it plays a major part to who they were designed to ...most fragrances are not for all skin types.
My colleague, who sits next to me at the office, has got two Jo Malone fragrances. Usually, I can smell her almost during the whole day. What's more, those frags are natural-smelling, elegant, refined and sexy. In my opinion, JM fragrances are worth of the price tag more than many other niche brands.
I love how well you presented this video about the possible downsides of those fragrances. I mean I love Jo Malone products in general but I totally agree with you when it comes to poor longevity of the fragrances. Which is not appropriate considering the price point... your video really helps to give customers a better idea about the products!
It’s because it’s own by Estée Lauder now. Even Jo Malone herself disassociated with the brand. They don’t care about quality and it has went down since they came in charge
Hi Eva, I thank God I just bumped into your video as I was about to buy a Jo Malone perfume and was desperately looking for a review! Thank you for being honest, I also enjoy smelling good even 8 hours after spraying such expensive fragrance (haha). I will put my money elsewhere. Love from Paris
👍🏻👍🏻Have the same feelings 🤔 - but I love Mimosa and Cardamon / stays forever on me 🤗🤗🤗🤗 the rest is just "hologram of fragrance " ( 25 sec. ) Jo sold the company to Estee Lauder - maybe that's the reason 🤔🤔
*I have written this on Facebook a million times that I really like the scents but the longevity... errm... SHORTevity SUCKS TO THE MAX. Terrible. Great video, Eva! Please do a video on your skincare products/routine :) You have fantastic skin :)*
Agnes Eva it would be a 2 minute video. My skincare routine just consists of drinking lots of water, I use Purity by Philosophy as a cleanser and a great moisturizer😊
LOL! I don't do any skincare besides a good sunscreen (I have three different ones from the pharmacy and from my dermatologist) and coconut oil or almond oil for the night. :) @@taffyj531
From memory, I'd say the same. I haven't bought a Jo Malone candle in over a decade, there's just too much competition and I'm even fussier with high-end luxury candles than I am about niche perfumery. But yeah, for those about to give up on Jo Malone, stick to bath products and candles. They're a delight, you can't really go wrong. After Lauder bought the Jo Malone brand and Jo herself went solo with 'JoLoves', she brought out a particularly EPIC candle of her own called The Beaumont. Totally unisex and HIGHLY recommended as a Christmas gift idea. 😄
I "bumped my head" (lol) a few times when it comes to Jo Malone. The only saving grace is that I didn't pay retail for the bottles, but the Intense bottles were still pricey. Enjoyed your video.
Girl I LOVE Myrrh Tonka it has become one of my favorite scents as of lately, im so sad for you that they haven't worked out. I have their lavender 💜 line I'm living for it, got a few intense bottles and regular ones too.
I haven’t tried all the ones that you have mentioned but I have the orange blossoms which smells gorgeous but also only last like two hours max. I tried their white jasmine and it was the same! I bought the Tom Ford Jasmin rouge instead which has monster performance! I think for the price you should have better performance! I will probably not purchase from them again.
I completely agree...i love quite a few scents from the line, but i feel like Bath & Bodyworks body mist prob lasts longer than it, and at a fraction of the price
Jo Malone quality changed since the sale to EL. Mass production over saturated trash now, with reformulation tragedies.. However Jo Loves, her actual self owned brand in London, has produced some lovely scents. They have a fragrance tapas experience in store that was unique. I don’t recall any deep oud offerings but I purchased a few new faves there.
Yes, The Beaumont Candle and the Smoked Plum and Leather one ❤ Jo's personal tastes seem to be very 'floristy' and fresh green, which is not my taste so her range isn't for me.
Honestly I think it depends on your body chemistry. Also I take home samples and try them on my skin first before buying. I have to know that it lasts. But her colognes last for me. Layering or not. I also love perfumes to last at least 5-6 hours and I get that from her fragrances. But I do know that it doesn’t work that way for everyone. And I don’t purchase all of the creams and body washes.
Guess it has a lot to do with body chemistry, I've had no problems with staying power of any of the fragrances from this line. I always get positive compliments throughout the day whenever I where this brand.
I completely feel you on this! Dark Amber and Ginger Lily is the one fragrance from Jo Malone that has me hooked but that longevity is the only reason I won't buy it. Great video
They have amazing scents and I love the fact that you could mitch and match and layer the fragrances to create your own scents but they don't last for nothing, like OMG and they are so expensive but they don't last and I don't have the time to be walking around with two bottles of perfumes that I layard before I left my house and I have to reapply every couple of hours😑 that doesn't make any sense😞
Hi Ms Monroe I thought it was me....I could not understand what was going on. Since you have already purchased, try pomegranate noir & wood sage & sea salt this combination may last a little longer. Looking forward to trying "Jo Love"!
It’s called Jo Malone London and is owned by Estée Lauder. I know people refer to the House as ‘her’, but it’s not her (the actual Jo Malone) and ‘she’ has nothing to do with the company.
Hi Eva..........love your content..btw...i have the same "sheers" drapes as you do...theyre so amazing...Ive had them for yrs and still love 'em........Thanks for your videos.......Bob
While I totally agree about Jo Malone cologne's, longevity - I still buy them. Crazy isn't it. I used to be a Tom Ford nut, and then I found the house of Jo Malone. A whole lot cheaper than Ford and the longevity is about the same. I just adore Oud and Bergamont, and Wood Sage and Sea Salt. They are perfect fragrances - but they only last a few hours on my skin. And woman - you are just gorgeous.
Hey guys! I am a fan of JM to, but I don't know if you know that Jo Malone as an owner is not with the brand anymore. Estee Lauder purchased it a while a go and since then I must say they dropped down longevity whise a lot. I remember I bought Jo Malone in Paris 9 years ago or so, and all fragrances lasted on my skin. Now, not so much and I am truly disappointed. Joanne Malone has her own new brand now called JO Loves, but it has only a London store so far and I haven't been able to try it. I hope it is better than current Jo Malone.
I do too! I’ve had so many people compliment it after many hours of wearing it. I’m surprised it’s not lasting on others. I also use the shower oil as a moisturizer (not in the shower), and it makes it last even longer.
I thought it was just my skin! I only like one that stays on me well it’s Orange Bitters. Everything else by this brand becomes a skin scent way too fast considering the price tag
We have to be mindful that ppl like us who owns a lot of perfumes dont become desensitized to scents. When i am around my mom and my sister i choke them out with just 2 sprays of my perfume and i smell nothing. Jo Malone Scarlett Poppy is very strong and long lasting to me. Just ordered Myrrh & Tonka.
Jo Malone was bought out by Estée Lauder years ago Jo Malone herself started a new business called Jo Loves…in London only but you can buy samples on line to try before you buy x
The only Jo Malone fragrance I like, actually love, is Velvet Rose & Oud from the Intense line. It's very not JM like in that it's long lasting, well blended and combines Rose with citrus and the right dose of oud. The oud is not stanky at all but nice and deep. The rose is balanced by the fresh citrus and dark oud.
I agree with you! I own 2 perfumes from the Sephora Clean Reserve line and I feel the same way. Love love love the smells but they do not last! No sillage. For a $100 bottle I was expecting so much more. And when I finally smelled the Jo Malone fragrances I had heard so much about from beauty youtubers, I KNEW they were the same vibe. They smell alright not even great. However given their short lasting power, I’d rather buy body sprays instead. Needless to say I will not be repurchasing the Sephora Clean Reserve line. Though I absolutely love the scents (acqua neroli and clean skin).
loved your video, i do agree these don't last long, however the scents are nice and i like the layering idea. one trick is get a body oil spray and then spray the cologne on after, that works better. You have the most beautiful skin, what skin care do you use.
What I find with Jo Malone is that some fragrances last different on you and it is a totally personal thing. At first I was adviced to buy Poppy and Barley because it was supposed to last longer than my other choice (orange blossom) but instead of buying any of them I asked to test them and went back home. 4 hours later there was barely a trace of Poppy and Barley but Orange Blossom was still there and it just kept going on for about 10 hours. But then I smelled Nectarine Blossom and Honey and it just lasted like maybe two hours. I like fragrances that I can smell on my self but that are not offensive to others, so I am quite happy with my Jo Malone choice. By no means I would advice you to buy another if you really don't want to, but if you ever discover a scent there that you love, maybe do what I did and,who knows it might be your lucky day 😊
These should be used on your clothes or hair. That way it lasts longer. Besides, if you prefer stronger perfumes, of course these are too weak for you. JM make cologne not EDP or extract of perfume. But the price for these are way too high....
I'm sure that does extend the longevity, I am just not fond of sprayingvmy clothes. Especially the ones I dry clean because I dont like to smell an old fragrance the next time I wear it.
@@evamonroe yes, for sure it is not suitable for everyone. Also I heard that it depends on our skin chemistry. E.g nectarine blossom&honey last all day on me, and wood sage&sea salt absolutely disappears after 1 hour...
I love Wood Sage &Sea Salt because I just like smelling like the beach but I wear it with a $10 sea salt body spray from Target. It just smells like clean laundry
Peace lady how you feeling?Stumbled across your channel here,INSTANT sub :) Fresh polo v-neck too.Polos and a frag head?We already have a lot in common 😊😉 haha.That sucks to hear about your experience with JM,a lot of people feel that way as well.I agree on a few of their offerings too.For the four I own,I’m 3-4.I get great projection and longevity from my myrrh and Tonka,and pomegranate noir,they both get me tons of attention as well.I get above average with my black cedar wood & juniper.But my wears off my Grapefruit cologne was a mad let down.Great page fam.Gonna flip thru some of your content during the week.Have a Blessed one.Peace/Much Love
You are so spot on! Yet, as your own experience reflected, the JM sales reps will offer different combinations of fragrance they swear will last. I too took to purchasing the lotions thinking the scent would be prolonged. Alas. Not to be. I will stick to my other Houses, I especially like Armani perfumes. Also correct is that these fragrances are over priced for zero longevity. I too like strong fragrances that have a punch - Flowerbomb, Opium, Aqua di Gio. But purchasing any more Jo Malone would not ever be warranted for me. Thanks for your review!
“Jo Malone” is Estée Lauder generic mass produced rubbish ; you need to try “Jo Loves” this is the real Jo Malone and the fragrances are beautiful and they last !
Jo Malone last 7+hrs on me the Myrrh and Tonka, The Golden Veltier works best with oil and Scarlett Poppy. I have a problem with fresh fragrances and florals in general. It's been a task to find fragrances outside of the winter season.
I adore Jo Malone. My skin is on the drier side so perfumes don’t last long on me. Best thing to do is take a fresh shower (opens pores), moisturize, and give a good 3-4 sprays over your body.
I totally agree on this. I'm a Jo Malone lover. However, what is so ironic is that my absolute favorite Blackberry&Bay does not last on my skin and those I did not like too much lasts longer! I haven't tried layering with the body creme or body oil coz I'm a bit hesitant if it will of any effect at all. Like you said, you need to bump your head a few times! 😂
Oh no! I’ve been wearing Jo Malone for like 10 years now and never had an issue. Their fragrances last all day on me. I guess everyone’s body chemistry responds differently.
Eva thanks for this vid on JM. I have a suggestion. Look into Okcha in the US or Oil Perfumery in Toronto. They are exact dupes of the high end fragrances. Made with exact same perfumers in France. Read the reviews. Try any fragrance for $35.00. I ordered Killian And Tom Ford plus another French parfume. It’s oil based not alcohol based. All the notes are exactly same. Jo Malone is marketing.
Surprising to knw dis brands do nt last on some people.I recently bought Myrrh and Tonka, Dark amber nd lily. They both lasted on me each 10hrs plus without layering. I think is got to do body chemistry.
I am not sorry, you shouldn't HAVE TO layer/ fuss over a fragrance in that kind of price point. Period. I agree with what you said. Those scents aren't worth it.
Bit belated, but they have pomegranate noir as a solid scent now 😁. This supposedly lasts much longer on people with dry skin. Also JM has an eau de parfum line with Zara for a fraction of the price...
Gurrrrrrllll..... Jo Malone fragrances are just overly expensive, exergerrated body mist. After the shower body scents. Or those scents your wear to brunch
Cardomon and mimosas or Rose is the bomb 💣....I’ve been using it for years now, never on my body always my clothes 😀 ALWAYS USE JO MALONE ON YOUR FABRIC SISTER! I ALWAYS GET COMPLEMENTS EVERY WHERE 😚
I love Jo Malone. I get about 4-5 hours out of the ones I wear. I like Pomegranate and Red Roses together. I know that combination doesn't seem right but I get at least 7 compliments when I wear that mix. I do notice that it wears better on me in the Fall.
Pomegranate is the one that i can say wears well on me. It seems to be an odd blend with Spirituese Double Vanille but it gets lots of compliments as well. I need to try it with Red Roses.
I agree, I love the scents but everytime I buy one I have to always wonder "what am i going to layer this with to make it stronger"? And it shouldn't be that way. I love the wood sage and sea salt , also Pomegranate noir . I combine the woodsage with Marc Jacobs Daisy , and the Pomegranate Noir with Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black. It does pretty good with those on me.
I purchased the Garden Lillies and it lasted for 12 hours. It’s such a beautiful scent. So nice a couple of my coworkers purchased it for their wives, whom loved it too. I think it was a limited edition item though.
I feel crazy as hell for just now realizing it doesn't last lol. Yuja limited edition smells like an expensive luxury resort on a beach but i have to put it on again later lol. They need to fix that lord.
Ahhhh....THANKYOU!!!!! I watched Mr. Sillage, and all he did was go into an almost Orgasmic Description of How Unbelievably Wonderful Myrrh & Tonka is. I watched another review that said almost exactly the same thing. And, in the comments of both videos, I lost track of How Many People said EXACTLY the same thing as the others comments. Before I watched your video, I was firmly of the opinion that I'm gonna follow my GUT Instincts on the Myrrh & Tonka & stay away from what appears to be an Over-Hyped & Over-Priced Cologne. Actually, I shouldn't say "Over-Hyped", because I didn't find too many reviews on this Fragrance. For less than HALF the price of Jo Malone, I can get Thierry Mugler: Pure Tonka, which I've had in the past & loved. I'm gonna subscribe & keep an eye out for your reviews. Cheers!!!!
Jo Malone lasts for me, but I lightly spray my clothes also, maybe that’s why. The Lime, Basil, and Mandarin lasted so long it started to annoy me lol I do like for my perfumes and fragrances to slightly fade during the time I’m wearing them. I want them to fade into a soft skin scent. I just bought Honeysuckle and Davanna, and English Oak and Hazelnut. I’m so excited.
Ooo no. I love Red Roses. But you’re right, I have to reapply throughout the day. And if I’m upset, I spray it on my wrist and take a whiff similar to a smelling salt. Lol
Mr Malone out here finessing housewives! 😆 I have never bought any Jo Malone because I don’t like to reward low quality, the reason they don’t make longer lasting fragrances is because people still buy their watered down crap in pretty bottles And honestly I feel the same way about Byredo. We get what we allow ladies!
I totally agree w/u on Jo Malone...its the only brand that Ive returned.........the stuff prob does best in Asian countries where they love light scents.
Found your video a year after you posted it, and THANK YOU. I am so over this brand. I do think it’s posh BBW. I, too, tried and tried to make it work, and just...no.
I am never impressed at all with JM colognes, well it’s a cologne so there is no staying power at all. For the price you pay for it, you can get a Chanel or Hermes fresh scent too that lasts all day. And sillage? Oh gosh ahhhhmazing!
Jo Malone has many lovely scents, but I would say 2/3 of them don't last long on me. The ones that last longer on me and others smell it when they're around me are: Cardamom & Mimosa; peony & suede, and the grapefruit one. I have orange blossom, nectarine blossom & honey, blackberry & bay, and poppy & barley ( I love all of them very much), but these few don't last as long. Probably 4-ish hours or so...then I don't smell it on me anymore. I noticed their newer ones and limited edition ones disappear on me within 2 hours. So yeah, I really don't buy Jo Malone much anymore. For the price, I rather explore other brands that last longer on me with more complex ingredients and scents.
It happened the same to me, It last only one hour maybe less, they smell delicious, but they don’t last...to expensive for a splash, no more Jo Malone for me 👎
To be fair, they are cologne formulation. So it isn't like we don't know what we are getting with JM when we buy them. I agree the performance sucks on colognes, which is why I don't buy them. Except for JM Velvet Rose & Oud. That one seems to perform more like a edt. And I layer it with the body oil, use the solid perfume under the cologne, and wear the hair mist and it lasts all day. That's doing the most though 🤣
Hi..at last a video expressing my disappointment with Jo Malone....in my country ( Bahrain) the 100ml bottle is priced approx. US$ 120....since this shop was opened in 2011, I entered almost every week and ended up not buying any....until I saw their concentrated tea perfumes think 5 or 6 different tea bases...they come in 200ml priced US$400 and 75 ml priced US$120...only one of them caught my attention that was Jade leaf tea...stayed on my skin for 4 hours without layering it with anything.....there is great similarity between this and Chanel No.19 ( my endless love)...also L' ombre EDT from Dyptique
I tried a 5 ml decant of black cedar and juniper, On a humid day, it went right to a skin scent with pleasant wafts of a very nice, creamy, sweet, cedar. Much nicer than kilian straight to heaven, to me. This is one lambikins - sweety, of a skin scent, although fleeting and big bucks! Excellent for that particular purpose, but nothing to get you noticed in public.
For some reason Jo Malone does not mix well with my body chemistry. The fragrances always start off okay, but then turn rancid in the dry down. I do keep a small wood sage body creme on hand though...it is definitely my favorite in the line.
I agree. I love the scents, but yes they don't last. I like the scents, but I wish they'd just make EDP formulations for longevity. They're quite expensive for such weak lasting power
I have no shame. I’m going RIGHT back to Bloomingdale’s to return my $190 Myrrh & Tonka. It smelled great in the store but when I tried at home, it barely lasts 1 hour!!!
Amazing how the body is different from person to person because I have all these fragrances and they last throughout the day at least 7hrs but I do oil my body first so maybe that’s why it last❤️ great video. The whole video I was like oh no, wow that’s terrible for you because they aren’t cheap.
I have two that I get good performance from Queen. Unfortunately, they're 100% masculine. 154, and Amber & Lavender. The rest definitely could use a boost in the performance department.
All jo malone fragrances are Uni sex and can all be worn by any gender. My mum loves both of those scents. But i do agree they're two of the more masculine of the fragrances :)
Aside from putting a frangrance free moisturizer for the perfume to stick spraying it in places where you have friction helps with staying power behind the ears elbows and knees. Alson on the clothes
Good fragrances shouldn't need help by layering it with other fragrances, shower gels, lotions, etc. If they can't stand on their own, they're worthless
The idea of this is creating your own fragrance but I'm with you!! Only old perfume last long
Damn
I agree.
I understand what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure it's their USP. They're supposed to be light.
I agree

You are so right about Jo Malone, I will never buy there perfume again, no lasting power
Its is NOT a perfume! It is a cologne and everyone knows they have less staying power you are comparing apples with oranges
It’s because it’s own by Estée Lauder now. Even Jo Malone herself disassociated with the brand. They don’t care about quality and it has went down since they came in charge
Васька Куросаки She couldn’t use her name as Estée Lauder owns it so she has her own line called Jo Loves.
Васька Куросаки yeah that’s why I think Estée Lauder totally did her dirty.

Yep, if you purchase it just make sure you never leave home without a decant of it lol.
just spray them over vaseline and they last, works for me. I was also very annoyed at the lasting power but found a way to make it work.

honestly I buy the pure uncut perfume oils and then layer them with that. That is how I get my money's work for the ones I have already purchased
congratulations for telling the truth! most youtubers tell many lies about perfumes.
I get an easy 6 hours from myrrh and tonka
I do too! I’ve had so many people compliment it after many hours of wearing it. I’m surprised it’s not lasting on others. I also use the shower oil as a moisturizer (not in the shower), and it makes it last even longer.
Myrrh is long lasting scented ingredient naturally

Yes! Finally someone mentions this masterpiece! It could last longer for its price, however, it is so different to the other JM fragrances.
I have that one too and i love it
I have this one too and it lasts Forever

Though I absolutely love the scents (acqua neroli and clean skin).
loved your video, i do agree these don't last long, however the scents are nice and i like the layering idea. one trick is get a body oil spray and then spray the cologne on after, that works better. You have the most beautiful skin, what skin care do you use.
What I find with Jo Malone is that some fragrances last different on you and it is a totally personal thing. At first I was adviced to buy Poppy and Barley because it was supposed to last longer than my other choice (orange blossom) but instead of buying any of them I asked to test them and went back home. 4 hours later there was barely a trace of Poppy and Barley but Orange Blossom was still there and it just kept going on for about 10 hours. But then I smelled Nectarine Blossom and Honey and it just lasted like maybe two hours.
I like fragrances that I can smell on my self but that are not offensive to others, so I am quite happy with my Jo Malone choice.
By no means I would advice you to buy another if you really don't want to, but if you ever discover a scent there that you love, maybe do what I did and,who knows it might be your lucky day 😊
These should be used on your clothes or hair. That way it lasts longer. Besides, if you prefer stronger perfumes, of course these are too weak for you. JM make cologne not EDP or extract of perfume. But the price for these are way too high....
I'm sure that does extend the longevity, I am just not fond of sprayingvmy clothes. Especially the ones I dry clean because I dont like to smell an old fragrance the next time I wear it.
@@evamonroe yes, for sure it is not suitable for everyone. Also I heard that it depends on our skin chemistry. E.g nectarine blossom&honey last all day on me, and wood sage&sea salt absolutely disappears after 1 hour...
I love Wood Sage &Sea Salt because I just like smelling like the beach but I wear it with a $10 sea salt body spray from Target. It just smells like clean laundry
Peace lady how you feeling?Stumbled across your channel here,INSTANT sub :) Fresh polo v-neck too.Polos and a frag head?We already have a lot in common 😊😉 haha.That sucks to hear about your experience with JM,a lot of people feel that way as well.I agree on a few of their offerings too.For the four I own,I’m 3-4.I get great projection and longevity from my myrrh and Tonka,and pomegranate noir,they both get me tons of attention as well.I get above average with my black cedar wood & juniper.But my wears off my Grapefruit cologne was a mad let down.Great page fam.Gonna flip thru some of your content during the week.Have a Blessed one.Peace/Much Love
They smell good but doesn’t last long at all.
You are so spot on! Yet, as your own experience reflected, the JM sales reps will offer different combinations of fragrance they swear will last. I too took to purchasing the lotions thinking the scent would be prolonged. Alas. Not to be. I will stick to my other Houses, I especially like Armani perfumes. Also correct is that these fragrances are over priced for zero longevity. I too like strong fragrances that have a punch - Flowerbomb, Opium, Aqua di Gio. But purchasing any more Jo Malone would not ever be warranted for me. Thanks for your review!
“Jo Malone” is Estée Lauder generic mass produced rubbish ; you need to try “Jo Loves” this is the real Jo Malone and the fragrances are beautiful and they last !
Smoked plum and leather
Jo loves you say
PSA! Try putting jojoba oil on skin then spritz on your jo malone! The cologne will stick to the oil, technically making it an EDP concentration!
EDP has a higher amount of fragrance oil not plain oil. That would make it a fragranced oil not an EDP
Jo Malone last 7+hrs on me the Myrrh and Tonka, The Golden Veltier works best with oil and Scarlett Poppy. I have a problem with fresh fragrances and florals in general. It's been a task to find fragrances outside of the winter season.
I adore Jo Malone. My skin is on the drier side so perfumes don’t last long on me. Best thing to do is take a fresh shower (opens pores), moisturize, and give a good 3-4 sprays over your body.
I totally agree on this. I'm a Jo Malone lover. However, what is so ironic is that my absolute favorite Blackberry&Bay does not last on my skin and those I did not like too much lasts longer! I haven't tried layering with the body creme or body oil coz I'm a bit hesitant if it will of any effect at all. Like you said, you need to bump your head a few times! 😂
Oh no! I’ve been wearing Jo Malone for like 10 years now and never had an issue. Their fragrances last all day on me. I guess everyone’s body chemistry responds differently.
Eva thanks for this vid on JM. I have a suggestion. Look into Okcha in the US or Oil Perfumery in Toronto. They are exact dupes of the high end fragrances. Made with exact same perfumers in France. Read the reviews. Try any fragrance for $35.00. I ordered Killian And Tom Ford plus another French parfume. It’s oil based not alcohol based. All the notes are exactly same. Jo Malone is marketing.
Eva, I love your hair in this video. I'm new to your channel. Great job.
I was so excited to try them and fell in love with a few - got samples - and am so glad I didn't lay out the money...lasted 10 minutes on me - so sad
Surprising to knw dis brands do nt last on some people.I recently bought Myrrh and Tonka, Dark amber nd lily. They both lasted on me each 10hrs plus without layering. I think is got to do body chemistry.
*Dark Amber&Gingerlily *It's got to do wit one's body chemistry *
I am not sorry, you shouldn't HAVE TO layer/ fuss over a fragrance in that kind of price point.
Period.
I agree with what you said. Those scents aren't worth it.
Bit belated, but they have pomegranate noir as a solid scent now 😁. This supposedly lasts much longer on people with dry skin. Also JM has an eau de parfum line with Zara for a fraction of the price...
Jo Malone fragrances are glorified dollar store perfumes. You are so right.
I enjoy JM Peony and Blush Suede, it last long on my skin, but I wouldnt tell you to try, you've been disappointed too much times already.
Gurrrrrrllll.....
Jo Malone fragrances are just overly expensive, exergerrated body mist. After the shower body scents. Or those scents your wear to brunch
Joy Iscandari, you are so right. Unfortunately it took me too long to learn this lol😊
Cardomon and mimosas or Rose is the bomb 💣....I’ve been using it for years now, never on my body always my clothes 😀 ALWAYS USE JO MALONE ON YOUR FABRIC SISTER! I ALWAYS GET COMPLEMENTS EVERY WHERE 😚
I love Jo Malone. I get about 4-5 hours out of the ones I wear. I like Pomegranate and Red Roses together. I know that combination doesn't seem right but I get at least 7 compliments when I wear that mix. I do notice that it wears better on me in the Fall.
Pomegranate is the one that i can say wears well on me. It seems to be an odd blend with Spirituese Double Vanille but it gets lots of compliments as well. I need to try it with Red Roses.
That was my favorite combo too! I also used to use the Red Roses bath oil as a body oil.
Myrrh and tonka last long for me.. I use unscented lotion for all my fragrances and vaseline on my pulse points for projection
I agree, I love the scents but everytime I buy one I have to always wonder "what am i going to layer this with to make it stronger"? And it shouldn't be that way. I love the wood sage and sea salt , also Pomegranate noir . I combine the woodsage with Marc Jacobs Daisy , and the Pomegranate Noir with Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black. It does pretty good with those on me.
I need to try the Nirvana combo I bet that's a nice one.
Thanks for the info 😘
I purchased the Garden Lillies and it lasted for 12 hours. It’s such a beautiful scent. So nice a couple of my coworkers purchased it for their wives, whom loved it too. I think it was a limited edition item though.
I feel crazy as hell for just now realizing it doesn't last lol. Yuja limited edition smells like an expensive luxury resort on a beach but i have to put it on again later lol. They need to fix that lord.
Ahhhh....THANKYOU!!!!! I watched Mr. Sillage, and all he did was go into an almost Orgasmic Description of How Unbelievably Wonderful Myrrh & Tonka is. I watched another review that said almost exactly the same thing. And, in the comments of both videos, I lost track of How Many People said EXACTLY the same thing as the others comments. Before I watched your video, I was firmly of the opinion that I'm gonna follow my GUT Instincts on the Myrrh & Tonka & stay away from what appears to be an Over-Hyped & Over-Priced Cologne. Actually, I shouldn't say "Over-Hyped", because I didn't find too many reviews on this Fragrance. For less than HALF the price of Jo Malone, I can get Thierry Mugler: Pure Tonka, which I've had in the past & loved. I'm gonna subscribe & keep an eye out for your reviews. Cheers!!!!
Agreed. I LOVE their cardamom and mimosa scent but it doesn’t last so it’s a waste of money
Can you do a layering scents video interesting to see what others do as well
Absolutely, I'm working on that😊
Jo Malone lasts for me, but I lightly spray my clothes also, maybe that’s why. The Lime, Basil, and Mandarin lasted so long it started to annoy me lol
I do like for my perfumes and fragrances to slightly fade during the time I’m wearing them. I want them to fade into a soft skin scent. I just bought Honeysuckle and Davanna, and English Oak and Hazelnut. I’m so excited.
This happened to me as well I was sooo upset. 3 bottles in the SA told me it was just my body chemistry no one else had these issues 🙄
I agree. I have bluebell and it lasts maybe 15 minutes. So not worth it.
Lol I thought l was the only that her fragrances only last minutes..lol
Ooo no. I love Red Roses. But you’re right, I have to reapply throughout the day. And if I’m upset, I spray it on my wrist and take a whiff similar to a smelling salt. Lol
Mr Malone out here finessing housewives! 😆 I have never bought any Jo Malone because I don’t like to reward low quality, the reason they don’t make longer lasting fragrances is because people still buy their watered down crap in pretty bottles And honestly I feel the same way about Byredo. We get what we allow ladies!
I totally agree w/u on Jo Malone...its the only brand that Ive returned.........the stuff prob does best in Asian countries where they love light scents.
Found your video a year after you posted it, and THANK YOU. I am so over this brand. I do think it’s posh BBW. I, too, tried and tried to make it work, and just...no.
It usually lasts a good 8-12 hours on my clothes and around 6 hours on skin. However, silage is very low for their fragrances.
JM is just a cologne! Its not perfume. So dont expect a long lasting scent.
I am never impressed at all with JM colognes, well it’s a cologne so there is no staying power at all. For the price you pay for it, you can get a Chanel or Hermes fresh scent too that lasts all day. And sillage? Oh gosh ahhhhmazing!
Jo Malone has many lovely scents, but I would say 2/3 of them don't last long on me. The ones that last longer on me and others smell it when they're around me are: Cardamom & Mimosa; peony & suede, and the grapefruit one. I have orange blossom, nectarine blossom & honey, blackberry & bay, and poppy & barley ( I love all of them very much), but these few don't last as long. Probably 4-ish hours or so...then I don't smell it on me anymore. I noticed their newer ones and limited edition ones disappear on me within 2 hours. So yeah, I really don't buy Jo Malone much anymore. For the price, I rather explore other brands that last longer on me with more complex ingredients and scents.
It happened the same to me, It last only one hour maybe less, they smell delicious, but they don’t last...to expensive for a splash, no more Jo Malone for me 👎
I agree. This zero lating power is a joke for the price
I love jo malone, it last all day for me. Everyone can smell during night and day time. 💯
To be fair, they are cologne formulation. So it isn't like we don't know what we are getting with JM when we buy them. I agree the performance sucks on colognes, which is why I don't buy them. Except for JM Velvet Rose & Oud. That one seems to perform more like a edt. And I layer it with the body oil, use the solid perfume under the cologne, and wear the hair mist and it lasts all day. That's doing the most though 🤣
Hi..at last a video expressing my disappointment with Jo Malone....in my country ( Bahrain) the 100ml bottle is priced approx. US$ 120....since this shop was opened in 2011, I entered almost every week and ended up not buying any....until I saw their concentrated tea perfumes think 5 or 6 different tea bases...they come in 200ml priced US$400 and 75 ml priced US$120...only one of them caught my attention that was Jade leaf tea...stayed on my skin for 4 hours without layering it with anything.....there is great similarity between this and Chanel No.19 ( my endless love)...also L' ombre EDT from Dyptique
I tried a 5 ml decant of black cedar and juniper, On a humid day, it went right to a skin scent with pleasant wafts of a very nice, creamy, sweet, cedar. Much nicer than kilian straight to heaven, to me. This is one lambikins - sweety, of a skin scent, although fleeting and big bucks! Excellent for that particular purpose, but nothing to get you noticed in public.
Jo Malone is one of those BS brands that are on my „no, thanks“ list.
For some reason Jo Malone does not mix well with my body chemistry. The fragrances always start off okay, but then turn rancid in the dry down. I do keep a small wood sage body creme on hand though...it is definitely my favorite in the line.
I agree. I love the scents, but yes they don't last. I like the scents, but I wish they'd just make EDP formulations for longevity. They're quite expensive for such weak lasting power
They last 15 hours plus on my skin!
Myrh and tonka lasts all day on me, one of my favorite fragrances
I completely get the same vibes from this house. I have always enjoyed watching and listening to Eva.
Would you recommend buying the candles?
I have no shame. I’m going RIGHT back to Bloomingdale’s to return my $190 Myrrh & Tonka. It smelled great in the store but when I tried at home, it barely lasts 1 hour!!!
Amazing how the body is different from person to person because I have all these fragrances and they last throughout the day at least 7hrs but I do oil my body first so maybe that’s why it last❤️ great video. The whole video I was like oh no, wow that’s terrible for you because they aren’t cheap.
I agree
I’ve had two jo Malone’s and even layered them only lasts about 3 hours
Even the intense versions
I have two that I get good performance from Queen. Unfortunately, they're 100% masculine. 154, and Amber & Lavender. The rest definitely could use a boost in the performance department.
All jo malone fragrances are Uni sex and can all be worn by any gender. My mum loves both of those scents. But i do agree they're two of the more masculine of the fragrances :)
I feel the same way about all Ralph Lauren perfumes. I like some of them, but they last about five minutes.
@makeupjunkie I totally agree about Ralph Lauren as well!!!
Aside from putting a frangrance free moisturizer for the perfume to stick spraying it in places where you have friction helps with staying power behind the ears elbows and knees. Alson on the clothes
I totally agree on this. Nice smell but it does not last.
