Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne Spray (Originally Without Box) 100ml/3.3oz

I'm new to Jo Malone and was introduced to it by my cousin. My first purchase was Peony and Blush Suede. It is AMAZING! I have a difficult time with smell, AND when I wear most parfume it turns stinky on me. The only Perfume I have been able to wear that smells nice is Liz Claiborne. So I was a little nervous about this expensive purchase, but I am so glad I tried it! Now I am actually addicted and have purchased two more bottles of different scent, along with a mini set and of course the samples they send with each purchase. I highly recommend this sent as your start into Joe Malone!

I tried Peony & Blush Suede two years ago, but I took a pass on it because all I could smell was carnations. I was new to Jo Malone and had not worn perfumes or colognes much, so my nose was not sophisticated. But when I tried Peony & Blush Suede again recently, I fell in love with it and can't get enough of it. It smells so sweet and lovely, and I can smell so many different scents, roses, carnations, peony, and red apple, that all smell lovely. I bought a big bottle of the cologne for my birthday as well as the Body & Hand Wash. Now I know almost every review complains about the short life of this cologne, but there are ways to get around that. I've found that when I use Pomegranate Noir shower gel before applying the Peony & Blush Suede cologne it gives the scent real staying power making it last for most of an 8-hour day. You can also layer it with Pomegranate Noir cologne; that's a nice combination that lasts. I suspect a woody cologne mixed with Peony & Blush Suede gives it a good foundation to hold the scent. I'm going to try Wood Sage & Sea Salt next. It also smells amazing layered with Osmanthus from the Blossoms collection. It's a great combination.
