Girl, you smell good!


Certain fragrances always seem to get me compliments. One of them is Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir. Every time I wear it, I never fail to get a "what is that perfume you are wearing?" inquiry.

If you are not familiar with Jo Malone, allow me to introduce you. My fabulous Aunt Trudy was the first person to introduce me, and I have been a devotee ever since.

Jo Malone is a London-based company, named after its founder, that specializes in amazing fragrances for women and men. But the best part is her signature art of "fragrance combining". What does this mean? It means that each of her fragrances can be paired with another complimentary fragrance to produce a hybrid perfume.

Now, if you're like me, you might have experimented with this on your own. A little spray of Chanel Number 5 mixed with a little spray of Stella McCartney's Stella Sheer. Sometimes it works, and sometimes....not so much.

But with Jo Malone, you can't go wrong. Using her fragrance combining guide, you will see which of her scents work best with each other. So if you buy 2 bottles of perfume that are complimentary scents, you are actually getting 3 new scents that you can wear.

Aside from the unique scents, the quality and the packaging are top notch. And if you go to a Jo Malone store, the salespeople tend to be very generous with free samples of other scents, so you can test them out and see which ones you want to buy. They also sell lotions, bath wash, and candles. While not cheap, Jo Malone is definitely worth the $.
