Red Roses by Jo Malone

Love this scent, alone or layered. It really smells like roses and it really lasts for me.
After applying a small amount, I can still smell it the next day.

Positively wonderful layered with Orange Blossom.
To save $, I've purchased this and several others in bath oil form, which is generally $65 for 8.5oz instead of $55 for a single ounce of cologne.

Still expensive if poured into a bath, but not so much if gently applied to damp skin after a shower or bath.

Until a couple of years ago, I grew many old fashioned and antique roses. We've had all of them removed to make maintenance simpler, but I really miss that scent that used to fill the air around our home.
Red Roses reminds me of that smell.

Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone

I recently tried a sample of this scent and really like it.
On me it smells warm, deep, exotic and yet powdery. The scent lasts a long time.

Planning to get some to alternate with Fig for winter months.
My favorite is still Orange Blossom layered with Red Roses.

Orange Blossom by Jo Malone

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
I think nearly everyone loves this one, including me.

Recently layered Orange Blossom with Red Roses and really liked the result. Great summer scent.
If the Jo Malone fragrances were more affordable, I'd have plenty of each to experiment with.

Wild Fig and Cassis by Jo Malone

I absolutely love this fragrance, but seldom wear it.
It's one that I wear sparingly during winter months.
The scent lasts and lasts and it's easy to apply too much, but it's warm, deep and earthy.
This one replaced Cinnabar for a deep, winter scent.

Casual Fine Fragrance by Paul Sebastian

I really like this fragrance. It doesn't last as long as I'd like, but it's fresh smelling and not too heavy. It's often the one I grab for daytime use.

I really like this scent. My first exposure to it was a roll-on EDP.
It smells sweet and warm and smells like summer to me.

Pleasures by Estée Lauder

One of my closest friends just loves this scent. Guess you could say it's her 'signature' scent.
Since it smells great on her, I decided to try some and it's definately not for me.

Cinnabar by Estée Lauder

For years this was my favorite fragrance, but I don't wear it anymore.
Now it just feels too heavy and intense. Even the lotion seems too heavy.
Guess my taste has changed because I used to adore it.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

I really expected to like this one, but don't care for it at all.
Hopefully a friend will like it and take my bottle off my hands.
It smells artificial and harsh to me. I agree with the comment about it smelling masculine.

Simply by Clinique

I actually tried this scent today for the first time and loved it.
It lasted a long time and as another person mentioned, it smelled of melon & licorice.
Seems like a great, light summer scent for daytime.
Since it's discontinued, I've found great prices for it too.
