It is summer. It’s hot and often way too humid. You want to wear your favorite scent but you find that it is a tiny bit too heavy for that particular day and you begin wishing that you could change it just a little. Now you can! Please meet Jo Malone and their fabulous 100% combinable fragrances.
Think about it: it makes a lot of sense that in this super customized world that we live in today, that there should be a way to create your own customized scent – and to change it everyday a little bit. With Jo Malone‘s fragrances, you can! Simply spray one cologne, let it dry, then spray a different fragrance on top of it. The pairings change based on the order you apply the fragrances and on the quantity used. And with more than 20 fragrances to choose from, you know you found scent heaven!
Here are my favorite fragrances to wear alone and combine during the dog days of summer:
French Lime Blossom – Imagine yourself taking a relaxing stroll through the Champs Elysées. This fragrance combines romantic sweet lime blossoms with a twist of bergamot and tarragon to create a fresh, clean, and cooling scent. The bottom notes of musk, lilac, and carnation set this floral fragrance, which is wonderfully balanced by top citrus notes. I love wearing this when it’s hot hot outside but not humid – on these yucky days I simply spray a little White Jasmine & Mint over it and it’s perfect!
Orange Blossom – this summer I am all about citrus scents – and this is a great one. With lemongrass and cedrad leaf (which has a sweet floral woody scent) and 2 different kinds of lilies (Water and Lily of the Valley) as well as lilac, this fragrance is all about dewy mornings and garden strolls. But what really makes this the scent to have this summer is the crushed clementine leaves -the subtle and delicate notes of these leaves can magically transport you from a hot sticky day to a cool and refreshing day.
White Jasmine & Mint – this is my go-to scent this summer. It balances perfectly the floral just-picked white jasmine with wild mint, rose, and coriander, making this fragrance neither too floral nor too herb-y. The different types of mint really work their magic here, capturing the morning hours in a garden in a crisp summer day. And this is countered by the ultra feminine handpicked Heirloom Jasmine. With bergamot, chamomile, orange flower, cedar wood, and musk, this fragrance is terrific alone on humid days, and becomes almost too good to be true when paired with Orange Blossom.
