Jo Malone

The words «customer service» are lost in todays youthful culture… I go into stores and am met with some dingbat 18 year old that would rather gossip about her date than get me a pair of shoes, or she is texting behind the counter, or is so busy stocking shelves she cannot be bothered helping a sista out.
Feeling that «customer service» was a thing of the past I was going to toss it into the perverbal trash along with «common sense» «beauty on the inside» «being on time» and other such nonsense I don’t hear anymore.
At Jo Malone however, they believe in customer service and it shows — because Mrs. South Bay Product Whore is loyal to only a few — this being one of them. Every time I have been here the service has been great and they always throw in a few samples… leaving me to ponder which sent will be next.
My all time fav: Nectarine Blossom and Honey
Runners Up: Blue Agava & Cacao and Lotus Blossom & Water Lilly
and I have started a little flirting with the French Lime Blossom — mmmm
If you have not tried Jo Malone — it is a luxury you deserve, and the bonus is that you can layer multiple scents, making it your own
Also super kudos when I came in pre wedding and they hooked me up with a mini candle, mini hand lotion (a must buy!) and mini fragrance bottle — now that is customer service.

i’m having a hard time putting into words just how amazing everything from here is. the perfumes are all so lovely, my favorites being the nectarine blossom & honey, the red roses and the orange blossom. the quality is incredible, similar to what you would find at a parfumerie in paris.
the body crème is also worth a try, the scents are dead on to the colognes and the results on your skin are fantastic.
i was at the madison avenue location last winter, where for valentines day they actually sell a gift box that contains every single fragrance! can you even imagine?

The store is modern posh and the salespeople are welcoming and helpful, but I find most of the scents to be more like room deodorizers than body scents. I did find one I like though and am very happy with it. You are sure to be well taken care of here and if you’re buying a gift, you are certain to be appreciated.

I am impressionable, so I am told…
But I am over the top in love with Jo Malone (Jo is a girl — too bad not a guy). Anyway these scents are amazing. My Christmas theme this year is Jo Malone — everyone needs some. Maybe there is a little heroin in the scent that makes one want more? Maybe?
My goal is to have EVERY Scent they make. EVERY one. I love them all. Right now my favorite is nutmeg-​ginger. And tuberose, and lime blossom and orange blossom and, and, and. Yes my favorite.
The samples, the beautiful packages, the bows, the customer-​service.
I am high on Jo Malone and just rambling. Gotta get some more.
But, I did hear that you can host a home party with your with Jo Malone. I am going to host one in 2007 — don’t do it before me!!!

it’s like a olfactory smörgåsbord! i’ve seen so many magazine reviews and have sometimes stolen a sniff of two in the past, but now, this line of fragrances has a huge section in Nordie’s cosmetics department! today, i guess, was their grand opening and i just so happened to stop by…
wow! what service and inventive combinations of scents they offer! i seriously fell in love at first whiff. their scents are incredible… and what’s more is that you are encouraged to combine/​layer fragrances to create your own signature «odor»… in a good, controlled way:) i was searching for a wedding-​day smell and there were too many options so they let me walk away with four generous samples! what’s not to love?
a bit pricey but totally worth it: $ 50 for 30ml and $ 90 for 100 ml… it’ll last all day and more! i can still smell my incredible combo of red roses an verbena at 2am after a long night out!
my fave combos: nectarine blossom and orange blossom
red roses, verbenas of provence and nectarine
honeysuckle/​jasmine and grapefruit
mmmmmmm these samples will last me for a while! free stuff– yay!
