Green Orange & Coriander

I remember liking this when I first got it. Love it now. It says bitter orange, which you would expect from a green orange, but I don't get the usual bitterness as I do with other scents that have this note, instead I get some really nice tartness. But not too much tartness like in the pineapple in Bondno9.com a big reason I lean towards Aventus. Pairing the orange with coriander is what really boosts this scent up for me, adding a nice green spiceness. This might be one of my favorite citruses. Unfortunately Jo Malone has to throw in the wrench with her usual terrible longevity, and the fact that it's only in the UK, a bottle purchase probably won't happen anytime in the near future.

JO's back, with only an online presence (there was a pop-up shop last Christmas in London), but she's doing what she does best; creating her uniquely original brand of scent. Lovely, uncomplicated yet beautiful fragrances. Green Orange & Coriander is similiar to it's older sister, Lime Basil and Mandarin, with that sharp, citrus blast that dries down to a clean elegant aromatic that is by no means shy and reserved. It works equally well on men or women, and once it's in a wider distrobution, it's sure to develop a loyal following. Just like it's sister!

I've had this scent for a few years and I always reach for it in the summer when I need a nice clothes spritz or simple zesty moment. For me, it lasts a long time on the skin, but my favorite thing about it is its dry down on clothes. If i spritz this lightly on a linen sweater, it'll last until I was it as a herbaceous and coriander warmth. Really lovely, but I agree with others that it leans more masculine when applied liberally.

I sprayed this fragrance a few hours on my wrist and I tried so hard to remember what it reminds me of. The smell seemed so familiar to me! And the. i got it: Bang by Marc Jacobs! I love that fragrance, have a bottle of it in my collection. So, Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander is a very comforting, warm, wearable perfume.

I wasn't sure about this one at first - it smelled quite masculine to my nose, which would be great if I liked those kind of scents on my skin - I am generally a citrus, white floral kind of woman. I wore this today, and within the first few minutes the strong scent of orange, coriander, and black pepper seemed too sharp for me. However, in 30 minutes it softened to an herbal-citrus combo on my skin, which is more unisex than masculine. I rather like it for now, but not sure I love it enough to buy more. I do prefer this one to Lime, Basil, and Mandarin, which stays a bit stridently citrusy for a longer period of time.
