“I like to use this scent for special occasions. I’ve been in love with it for years! Many compliments also. It lasts on me.”
Jo Malone London have released a Scent Layering Kit with three bottles of their iconic colognes that works out at £15 a bottle. The set costs £45 on LookFantastic but includes three 9ml bottles that can be worn individually or layered to create something more unique.
Inside the set shoppers can find Grapefruit. This scent was inspired by the ‘sun-soaked beaches of Spain’ and combines citrus notes with rosemary and moss. It’s not a huge surprise that it reminds fans of Pomelo by Jo Loves (£82), a more modern take on the citrus fragrance released from Jo Malone’s new brand 29 years later.
Peony & Blush Suede, a springtime favourite, also makes an appearance. Although it is a massively floral scent it actually opens up with bright red apple before delving into peony, rose, jasmine and carnation. Unlike Grapefruit it was created by Christine Nagel who is the in-house perfumer of luxury brand Hermès.

The set finishes with English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne, a spicy woody blend of hazelnut, cedar and oak. It was crafted by Yann Vasnier, the nose behind Tom Ford’s Santal Blush (£220), Velvet Orchid (£108) and Vanille Fatale (£290).
All three scents are popular although Peony & Blush Suede Cologne is the most popular on the Jo Malone London website with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 247 reviews. One shopper said: “I like to use this scent for special occasions. I’ve been in love with it for years! Many compliments also. It lasts on me.”
A second wrote: “A lot of perfumes give me a headache or make me sneeze but Peony and Blush Suede is perfect. It suits my skin, it’s warm, floral and sensual – I sniff my arm when I’m wearing it as it’s so lovely. I find that it lasts well as I also use the body wash and body lotion. I need to get the candle as well so my home can smell of it. I really feel that I’ve found my forever cologne.”

This trio of 9ml Jo Malone London scents can be worn individually or layered to create something unique.
A third penned: “Perfume smelt really nice although the sent didn’t seem to last, had to keep reapplying.” It is worth keeping in mind that application can impact the longevity of a scent, with it being best to apply directly to clean freshly moisturised skin.
A fourth added: “So evoking. I have been on a hunt. I feel like I’ve smelled it all somedays, so bored of everything. And here comes the bride moment happens at the first spritz of Peony & Blush Suede. What can I say, it’s a romantic getaway I’ve awaited. The journey has been poetic. I spray it on my wrists so I can I go back and relieve the first moment. This is the signature perfume I’ve longed for. Thank you, Jo Malone.”
The Jo Malone London Scent Layering Kit is currently available for £45 on LookFantastic.
