I can hand on heart still remember the first time I walked into a Jo Malone store, it was with a University friend, we had decided to visit Birmingham for the day for a little shopping trip (era 2005) it was then that I knew this brand would alway have a place in my heart. On that day I purchased the Lime, Basil and Mandarin cologne (thank you student loan!) and its been love ever since.
Whenever anyone asks me what I would like for Christmas/Birthday I always say I would like Jo Malone, it really is a brand I love.
The girls at Jo Malone are so knowledgeable and warming, they really do make you'll at ease when in the store.
They have something for everyone, there fragrances are all unisex which makes it so much easier when gift buying.
My favourite scents:
Pomegranate Noir (cult classic, such a distinguished scent, if you're not a fan of strong scents this one isn't for you, I spray this in the morning and can still smell it come tea time! I also get comments if I am wearing it! ‘Luce, are you wearing Pomegranate Noir?!
Oud & Beaumont is often the scent I reach for for an evening scent, woody and rich and quite sensual. Dan who I live with also wears it too! So if I run out I can always pinch his!
Cypress & Grapevine is my latest addition to my collection and it is hands down my favourite! I have recently just bought the body scrub in this scent too, if you like me quite like masculine scents, this one is for you!
Candles:
I don’t love anything more than lighting a candle, ask any of my friends and they will say that my
obsession with candles is rather high! One of the first things i do when I get home from work is to light a candle. Jo Malone candles are such a delight and I always think its a real treat when I buy one or when I am gifted a Jo Malone candle, they also make the perfect gift!
As with the fragrances I have my favourites in the candle options:
Mimosa and Cardamon: I always think this is such a calming scent when burning, its a very comforting scent, perfect for the cooler months.
Pomegranate Noir: As with the fragrance, I love this smell! Whenever I light it it makes my whole apartment smell amazing!!!
Woodsage and Seasalt: Is also a favourite of mine, a nice light and fresh scent, I usually have this one in the Springtime
In all of the stand alone Jo Malone together with the concessions within the larger department stores, they all offer various services that can each be adapted to your personal preference.

The Scent for you
I have used this service a few times now, its ideal if you fancy something new to add to your fragrance stash! The service last around 15 minutes and its just a great opportunity to take a moment and really enjoy the process of finding something new.
Having the time to really find out about the different notes within the scent is something that I really enjoy, the ladies and gents who work for Jo Malone are so knowledgable
Scent for your home:
Not only do Jo Malone do fragrances for you, they also cater for your home too. Together with the candles (which come in a variety of different sizes, travel,home and delux) they also have diffusers and room sprays in all of the Jo Malone scents. The candles and the diffusers make such great gifts, since something buying a fragrance for somebody can sometimes be too difficult to choose!
The perfect present
As previously mentioned Jo Malone is the perfect choice for gift buying, whether you choose a candle, diffuser or bath products, the people who work within the store/ concession their knowledge and expertise will ensure you pick the perfect present. What’s also great about Jo Malone is how perfectly packaged it is too!
Scent for your wedding:
I love the idea of this one! Choosing your perfect scent for your special day! Whats great about Jo Malone as not only do they have fragrances they also have body oils, lotions and creams, so you can really layer for scent ensuring that the scent lasts all day. I also think this experience would be great to do with your bridesmaids and a pre wedding event!
The hand and arm massage
Personally this is my favourite, and I have had many of these over the years, a perfect little self indulgence treat whilst shopping! It is usually this experience that helps me decide on my next new fragrance
