"Depends which scent as some are more potent than others, but it does tend to last awhile in my experience." I have a sample of pear and freesia which lasts all day. However suspect that samples are designed to. | |||

"Depends which scent as some are more potent than others, but it does tend to last awhile in my experience. I have a sample of pear and freesia which lasts all day. However suspect that samples are designed to. " My mum wears the Grapefruit and that smells lush and lasts all day, albeit turns into a softer scent and isn’t as sharp as when first sprayed. I think the Pear and freesia should last all day as that’s quite a strong mix. It’s expensive stuff so hopefully being good quality it SHOULD last. | |||

"I loved the Myrrh and Tonka scent. It was quite durable and stayed on for a long time. " I don't normally like Jo M scents on me but this one really smells nice. I usually wear a silk scarf when I go out and the smell lingers on that the next day. As I said though my only concern is that the samples are made deliberately stronger. | |||

Since Jo M seems to be mostly cologne which has a very low perfume to alcohol ratio I'm just a bit concerned that I'll need to top up during the day. I applied the sample scent this morning and can still smell it subtly on my scarf and neck. Really I should just commit or not and have done with it | |||

"Molton Brown do some lovely scents too Their scents aren't as well known as their shower & bath products so regularly end up in the outlet shops at discounted prices I have a couple and regularly get told I smell lovely (at work that is, I don't get close enough to others these days for more intimate sampling )"Aww Bussy .
I didn't know Milton Brown did scent. | |||

"I wish I had access to that sort of thing. Many years ago I had pure oil No 5 bought for me by someone very wealthy. I used to put a drop on a cotton wool ball and keep it in my bra for a few days. | |||

"I purchased English Pear & Freesia a few months back. The 'staying power' — or longevity — is very good. The contents in a sample are no different to the full product. The cologne is the most concentrated in that range, followed by the body mist and then the hair mist. Longevity also depends on your pulse points and how warm they (and you) are." If that's the case then I will buy it. The sample lasts on me. Thank you | |||

"I can personally say it’s o r if the best brands I’ve ever used. Amazing range in men’s and women’s and definitely lasts. Never got more compliments for smelling nice than when I did wearing it" English pear and freesia is the only one that smells nice on me. What I like about it is that it settles down to a very subtle perfume | |||

"Pear and freesia is one of the Jo malone ones I wear. I never feel I need to top it up and I’m guessing must last all day long as my kids say it reminds them of holidays when they were younger. Must have hung around me all day" That's good to hear. I just need to persuade myself to pay the money now. I think years of always having some other call on my money has left me struggling to just be frivolous  | |||

"I bought my Jo Malone from the Jo Malone store. I smelled loads of others but didn't like any of them. I want another bottle so might test the pear and freesia one." It smells really nice on me. I don't like any of the others either. As far as I know there's nowhere round here that sells it so I'll have to use mail order. | |||

"I love Jo Malone! Currently have orange blossom which is a great day scent. They did a limited edition pink silk blossom a couple of years ago which was so good, I’m kicking myself that I didn’t realise it was limited edition or I’d have got a couple of extra bottles "Darn it! | |||

"Up until 2 years ago I always wore No 5 Perfume but changed to E Pear & Fresia for summer and now only wear No 5 occasionally Jo malone doesn’t have the same staying power but you wouldnt expect it to as it’s a cologne I would suggest trying scent in a shop and see how long it lasts | |||
