Jo Malone Bath Oils

Jo Malone is a brand that's very close to my heart. My first experience of it was when a friend of mine spritzed Red Roses cologne all over me just before I went on a first date. It was the loveliest perfume I'd ever come across. I fell in love with the romantic scent, the sophisticated packaging, everything about it. (The date went pretty well too - it was with my husband! I'm not sure how much the perfume had to do with it, but I'll always feel attached to it for that reason!)

Since then I've tried quite a few of the brand's other fragrances, either in perfume or candle form. Vintage Gardenia, Nectarine Blossom and Honey, Wild Fig and Cassis, Peony and Blush Suede... I love them all! Yet it's only very recently that I've tried any of the bath oils, and I honestly don't know what's taken me so long. At the moment, I'm obsessed with two: Amber and Lavender and Pomegranate Noir. At this time of year, with the weather getting colder and life getting busier as Christmas approaches, I'm appreciating a nice hot bath in the evenings more than ever, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So what better time to talk about these two gorgeous products?

Jo Malone bath oils in Amber and Lavender and Pomegranate Noir
Amber and Lavender - This is the perfect scent for this time of year. I've always loved lavender - it's so comforting that you can almost feel your muscles unwinding as you breathe it in. Add to that exotic, musky amber and you end up with a warm and wonderful scent that fills the whole bathroom when you add a capful to your running bath water. It's opulent and luxurious, wrapping itself around you like a comforting blanket. Some might find it overpowering, but I love it.

Pomegranate Noir - This one is very different. It's much lighter, yet you still get an intense, fruity hit from it that reminds me (for some reason) of a freshly opened bag of sweets. Again, the scent is released as it hits the hot running water, although this one is, as I said, more subtle than Amber and Lavender. After the initial sweetness, there's a definite warmth to it, which adds an interesting depth to the fragrance and makes it equally perfect for the cooler months.

Both oils contain jojoba, avocado and almond oil which leave your skin feeling lovely and soft when you emerge from your bath. Best of all, the gorgeous scents linger on your skin for ages afterwards, which I love. There's nothing better than lying in bed, all relaxed from your bath and smelling amazing!

Have you tried Jo Malone's bath oils? Which is your favourite fragrance?

  1. How lovely that Red Roses will always be a sentimental scent for you. I keep looking at the bath oils but I never buy them as I don't take a lot of baths. I think I'd prefer the body wash! I love Jo Malone, it's my absolute favourite for scenting my home :)

  2. I'm yet to try Jo Malone, I need to visit their shop to smell all the amazing fragrances to be able to choose something and as I don't live in London it's difficult to find the occasion to do so :( Those bath oils sound amazing though! x

    1. They don't have enough stores! I know what you mean, when it comes to fragrance you really do need to be able to smell before you buy! I've seen stores in London and one in Leeds but that's about it! x

    1. Thanks Karen, I always like those details too. It certainly is a lovely brand and I personally love scented products that you can really smell! The fact that they soften the skin too is a great bonus. x

  7. Jo Malone is the one brand that has ALWAYS been on my wish list but just never got my hands on it yet. The steep price definitely didn't help but I will save up until I get it. It's just seems so luxe. xx

    1. It is luxe, and it is pricy too but it's worth the money, at least I think so! x

  15. The story behind why this perfume is close to your heart is really lovely and honesty, quite heartwarming! I'm so pleased that he ended up becoming your husband! I have been curious about Jo Malone products for quite sometime now after so many positive blog reviews.. perhaps it's time to look into that one! :)
