Application Tips

One or two sprays is enough to capture its essence — the grapefruit top note is bright but fleeting, while the palo santo base adds lasting warmth. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points and let it develop naturally.

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.

The story behind the bottle.

The lively chatter of a family gathering around a table laden with fresh fruits, the air filled with laughter and the scent of woodsmoke from a nearby fire.
