Application Tips
This fragrance has a strong base note of leather that takes time to bloom. Apply it lightly at first and let it settle on your skin over the course of the day for the full effect. It reads better close to skin than in a crowded room, so keep it intimate.

“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.
