Jo Malone cologne


These are purchases from a recent trip to Thailand. They say that Bangkok's Duty Free shop sells Jo Malone products at cheapest compared to anywhere else. I grabbed the chance, assuming that this is the case. =) One is for myself that I would share with my sister (that would be the nectarine blossom and honey), one for my cousin, and one for my boyfriend. We were given 1000 Thai Baht additional discount since we bought 3 large bottles; plus the sales person was super friendly and attentive.

We had a difficult time selecting which scents to buy because most of them smelled really good. To add to the agony, our plane leaves in 10 minutes, so we had to make a decision as quickly as possible.  So after much debate in selecting, here they are!



The nectarine blossom and honey scent is more floral with a very light mixture of sweetness into it; just the way I like perfumes/colognes to be.  The lime basil and mandarin suggests class and confidence; this is also their best-seller for men although it is considered as unisex.  And lastly, Vetyver communicates being youing and sporty.
The down side is that the scent easily wears off after a few hours.  Being a cologne, these contain only 5% alcohol making them less long-lasting compared to eau de toilette and eau de parfum.  The sales person said that the trick is to spray the cologne directly on skin to make them last longer.  So let's see if the trick works. =)
