Application Tips

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top note is bright but fleeting, so layering it over a light lotion can help extend its presence. The base notes are subtle and warm, making it ideal for daytime wear.

Jo Malone portrait
I couldn't afford to go to perfumery school. So I taught myself. Sometimes not knowing the rules is the greatest advantage.

Jo Malone is a self-taught perfumer and entrepreneur who fundamentally changed how people think about wearing fragrance. With no formal training — she learned by mixing bath oils in her kitchen — she built Jo Malone London into a global luxury brand defined by its elegant simplicity and innovative layering concept. Her fragrances, including Lime Basil & Mandarin and English Pear & Freesia, are designed to be combined, creating a personal scent wardrobe rather than a single signature. After selling her brand to Estée Lauder, she returned to perfumery with Jo Loves, proving that her creative vision remains as vital as ever.
