I’m a long-term fan of Jo Malone London’s gorgeous scent collection, particularly their Lime, Basil & Mandarin cologne, which I’ve made my own ‘signature scent’ over the years! This one marries the sweet and citrus aromas of lime and mandarin with slightly-earthy, peppery basil (and white thyme) to create a blend of scented pleasure.

The beauty of Jo Malone London’s fragrance collection is indeed the attention paid to aromatic combinations; the brand is known for pairing unusual ingredients to create one-of-a-kind scents. Ready for holiday gifting (and beyond), each purchase is beautifully gift wrapped in a their trademark packaging featuring a classy, branded box finished with a big black ribbon.
This holiday season, we’re featuring a sensual fragrance from their nine-fragrance Cologne Intense collection: Tuberose Angelica, a sweet, floral cologne blended with angelica that provides an herbal, slightly dusky aroma to the notable white floral base. Added to this is amber wood, combining to create an intoxicating hit of scent!
As these scents are longer-wearing and more intense (hence the name) than the regular scented collection, I personally enjoy spraying the Tuberose Angelica in the air and walking into the scent, rather than spraying it directly on my neck and wrist.
If you’re keen on trying this one out, it’s available in Canada at both Nordstrom and Holt Renfrew (in the US, visit Jo Malone London online for the boutique finder).
The Jo Malone London counter is staffed with friendly, knowledgeable employees that can help you pair the fragrances, test them on card swatches and on the skin, and even spray a couple of your fave new finds into small take-home vials so you can try them for a couple of days before committing to a purchase.
Both Jo Malone London counters and Jo Malone London online offer complimentary gift wrapping service and samples with your order. Website orders receive free standard delivery service. 50ml, CAD $158; 100ml, CAD $250
