What wearers say
āI love the scent, but longevity and performance are embarrassing even for a Jo Malone which is notorious for low longevity, performance, and sillage. A body mist from Bath and Body Works has longer longevity than this one. But, the aroma is soooo good that I am willing to put up with this annoyance and spray 50 times a day!ā
āI got this to try to replicate my clean white woods but it just isnāt the same. Itās not quite as warm/cozy as the white woods to my nose. It is a very good fall/winter daytime/office scent though, something different than a typical vanilla/amber or floral. It is a bit pricey though, as all Jo Maloneās, so itās definitely worth trying a decant or sample first!ā
āBeautiful -- elegant and timeless, with a slight hay note. I wish Jo Malone's longevity wasn't such a deterrent because this is divine but does not last long enough for the price. It is a very special fragrance though. A summer day in a bottle.ā
