Jo Malone London
Peony & Blush Suede Cologne, £24.00
Smells like: A garden of peonies has just come into full bloom. It's a beautiful, smooth floral fragrance.
"A scent inspired by peonies in full bloom and romantically reminiscent of 1950’s couture," says Emma. "It feels flirtatious with a juicy bite of red apple, opulent with armfuls of flowers and the soft suede base giving a nod to the elbow length gloves of yesteryear."
Jo Malone London
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne, £24.00
Smells like: You're walking along a windswept coastline with a backdrop of rugged cliffs and sea salt in the air.
"It is a bright, mineral fragrance loved by all," says Emma.
Jo Malone London
Pomegranate Noir Cologne, £56.00
Smells like: Smoky, fruity, warm, it's easy to see why this scent is such an icon.
"This is a scent that wraps you up in the depths of winter but equally feels sultry in summer, simmering in the heat," says Emma.
Jo Malone London
Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne, £56.00
Smells like: Freshly squeezed limes, torn basil leaves and uplifting mandarin, whisked together to create a delightfully fresh blend.
"Herbaceous and zesty in equal measure, this classic scent has become synonymous with Jo Malone London," says Emma.
Jo Malone London
English Pear & Freesia Cologne, £24.00
Smells like: You're exploring a sun-soaked orchard late in the summer, picking perfectly ripened golden pears.
"Inspired by Keat’s Ode to Autumn, this is a luminous scent with subtle depths of patchouli, endlessly elegant on the skin," says Emma.
Jo Malone London
Orange Marmalade Cologne, £56.00
Smells like: Freshly made marmalade with the warm of the sticky fruit syrup simmering on your stove and the aroma of fresh, zesty rind.
"Golden and delicious this fragrance makes a reviving tonic in the heat of summer, hints of lavender keep the composition from ever feeling sticky," says Emma.
