Jo Malone London's 1-day English Pear & Freesia event on 24 Sept is a must-visit

Kate Middleton wore it (Orange Blossom, that is) on her wedding day. Poppy Delevigne and Victoria Beckham swear by it. Jo Malone London scents are synonymous with exclusivity, and pampering and need no further introduction. A fantastic gift for housewarming, anniversaries, weddings, self-pampering, and even travels. Beyond colognes, its products range from candles, diffusers, hair mists, body and hand wash and lotions, bath soaps, to body creme. The brand is truly gender-neutral, and its packaging looks good even as home décor!

Jo Malone London's scent pairing philosophy

Scent pairing is imbued in Jo Malone London's philosophy. Jo Malone scents give you the creative license to experiment and have fun with scents by layering more than one scent to create something personalised. Yahoo Shopping speaks with Robert Sabet, Education Director from Jo Malone London, Asia Pacific, to learn more about Jo Malone London’s layering philosophy, favourite scent combinations, wearing fragrances in our humid climate, and the best Jo Malone London travel accompaniments.

Yahoo Shopping: Where do I start when experimenting with Jo Malone scent layering?

Sabet: Wearing fragrances is linked to personal expression. At Jo Malone London, our scents are designed to be worn alone or paired with another to create your signature scent. A great way to start your daily fragrance ritual is by layering as you go. Start by using our deliciously scented Body & Hand Wash which gives an uplifting start to the day. Next, delicately scent your skin with the Body & Hand Lotion and even your bathroom. Finally, enjoy a spritz of cologne over the top as the finishing touch.

Which are the top three favourite scent pairings?

At the moment, in this humid weather – consider wearing bright and enlivening scents. Lime Basil & Mandarin, Jo Malone London's signature scent, is a go-to. It's suitable for all genders, and it's a modern classic. To make it fresher on a hot day, try pairing it with English Pear & Freesia Cologne which adds a golden coolness to the scent. If you’re looking to change your scent for the evening, make Lime Basil & Mandarin warmer by spritzing the spirited Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne over the top. There are no rules when it comes to pairing scents. Experiment until you find the ones that you love!

What scents would work well in our unforgiving humidity?

Layer and add texture to your scent ritual by first using scented Bath & Body products. Jo Malone London Hair Mists are a great way to add a subtle scent to your hair during the day. Their lightweight formula makes them perfect for humid climates. Book a complimentary consultation with one of Jo Malone London’s expert stylists to truly discover the wonders of scent.

Now that travelling is back, what should we consider when using fragrances in different climates?

When taking a holiday to a new destination, a travel ritual is to treat me to a fresh scent. When I return home, I spritz the same scent and am instantly reminded of my time away. I also love to use scents when I travel on business to remind me of home; I always have a Pomegranate Noir Travel Candle close by as the scent adds a quality of familiarity. 30ml colognes are perfect for travel as they can be kept in the smallest bag for easy reach! Mini sets in 9ml are a great place to start too.
