Application Tips

Apply this fragrance with two sprays to allow the citrus notes to bloom on your skin. The warmth of the honeyed base will gradually emerge over time without overpowering the initial freshness. Ideal for a comfortable evening out or a relaxing night at home.

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.
