Comments on: Jo Malone Wins Me Over http://perfumeposse.com/2008/04/29/jo-malone-wins-me-over/ Tue, 22 May 2012 23:42:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Matt http://perfumeposse.com/2008/04/29/jo-malone-wins-me-over/#comment-113772 Matt Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:06:23 +0000 http://perfumeposse.com/2008/04/29/jo-malone-wins-me-over/#comment-113772 Hmm.... I just found this archinve list, so Im a little tardy, but couldnt resist tossing a few cents in. ;-) For some reason quite a few of the JM scents are total knockouts on me... true, there are a few that fade in about 15 minutes (nutmeg and ginger) and a few I'd just never attempt (Im a guy... super fruity florals just dont cut it). Pom. Noir will last on me all day, mellowing out into a wonderfully spicy temple incense/frankincense/pepper blend that gets a whole host of admiring sniffs from people I end up around ;-) Black Vetyver Cafe also has extreme lasting power on my bod... and layers beautifully with the pomegranate. Easy for me to go too far with that combo though, a little of each and I'll be all set but any more than that and I can be, well, easily found by anyone with a nose at all. The Kohdo fragrances also hit my skin nicely... though the lighter of the two does, after a very short time, start coming across as a light and lovely bug repellant. The Dark Amber is astounding, creamy, golden... another scent that will cause people to walk up to me and dreamily ask what Im wearing (the only other scent to really do that for me is the limited edition orange Alien... this past summer that became almost all I wore and all around me people just kept walking up to me to smell me. A little strange, but also rather calming for the ego. ;-) Hmm…. I just found this archinve list, so Im a little tardy, but couldnt resist tossing a few cents in. ;-)

Not "Pfui," just "meh." Drove across town to Saks and loved the new Jardin Apres Le Mousson. Go figure. The vagaries of a nose, I guess.

Usually, I avoid Jo Malone, but the name caught my eye. These are probably the first JM fragrances I liked, and I will return to resample them. Honestly, I cannot imagine JM soliflores or any other light florals without some musk. They would vanish within seconds. March, I was running by the counter at BG the other day and sniffed these.

I am definitely going to re-sniff the new JMs, so I'll get back to you on that. As for her de-skanking everything, don't forget that she was THE British facialist/skin care guru/perfumer before her line was available in North America. Her earlier scents are nothing if not excruciatingly proper. Can't have skank when you have proper, I imagine. :) I have no idea what produces “figgy”.
