Surprisingly, it's a scrubber
This is one for the record books - my first foray into luxury boutique fragrances. But what a disappointment. After reading about the delicious basil and citrus notes, I was salivating. Sharp green notes (hello, basil!) shouted to me at first spritz. But where was the citrus hiding? Without exception, citrus top notes appear first then eventually fade, but here they were strangely silent. Later while shopping I noticed an old lady powdery smell which at first I assumed must the scent wafting from an older female shopper in the store. Imagine my shock when I happened to sniff my wrists and realized I smelled like an old lady. The scent became uncomfortably cloying and I ended up scrubbing it off because it just. wouldn't. fade. away.
If you're interested in Jo Malone fragrance and enjoy subtle chocolate notes, try Blue Agava & Cacao. It's warm, slightly gourmand and rounded out with top notes of lime and grapefruit. Dreamy.
