No. 42 The Flower Shop

I absolutely love this fragrance. It truly does smell like you just stepped into a flower shop. It has a nice mix of florals but also has the green notes that are present in a flower shop from the cut stems. This is truly one of the prettiest floral fragrances I have ever tried. I will be buying a full bottle once spring rolls around. And for those outside England, do the Jo Loves Fragrance Experience kit. You prepay for a bottle and they send you a sample of all of their fragrances with a voucher you redeem for a bottle of your favorite. If you like Jo Malone, you will like the fragrances in the Jo Loves collection. I opted for the Jo Loves Red Truffle 21 when I did the fragrance experience set in October. It was actually my second favorite behind No 42 Flower Shop but Red Truffle 21 is a fall/winter scent whereas No 42 Flower Shop is definitely Spring/Summer. I opted for the fall/winter scent since that was the season we were in with the intention of buying No 42 Flower Shop when spring rolled around. Plus, their shipping is LIGHTENING FAST. I live in the US and has my fragrance three days after ordering. I got an international shipment faster than I even normally get shipments in the US.

This is the best Lily-of-the-Valley fragrance ever. I am not exaggerating, I do mean it. The "Muguet" is a note that extremely hard to control.Among varied floral notes, the muguet plays an irreplaceable role.Unfortunately, plenty of muguet-themed fragrance has overused it.From my point of view, adding too much muguet would make the fragrance overly sharp and sometimes synthetic.But a small amount of muguet could enhance other main notes of the fragrance and add some green touch to it. No.42 The Flower Shop blended the muguet and other floral notes wonderfully.What impressed me most is that it truly has the smell of green leaves, unbelievably natural and pleasing. So green,so fresh, so adorable, so cheerful. Come una primavera soleggiata.

I went to the store thinking I was gonna leave with one of their citrus bottles as a freshie lover, but ended up buying this instead. The name had me thinking of headache-inducing florals thus I was completely ignoring it. But due to the prodding of the SA to try it, I did, and was greeted by one of the best fresh-floral scents my nose has come across with. It reminds me of a light floral luxury soap -- fresh and clean, with a touch of green. Definitely pleasant, pretty and easy to wear. Sillage and projection are good, I have gotten a lot of compliments wearing this. Longevity is also good as I have to reapply only once during work hours. Really good value for money!

Wow I came across a new Jo Loves shop in Myer Sydney City. The SA recommended me to try this. It's so uniquely green and floral. Like a freshly cut peony, you can smell the crushed leaves, the liquid bleeding out from the stem. And there are quite a few flowers in the shop to round up the scent. Some say it has the tomato leaf note. I'm a green lover and I love this one. Price point is better than Jo Malone. I'll probably get one when there is discount.

On my skin this is just green leaves, lily of the valley and in distinct white flowers, retro in a good way and what I imagine a flower shop should smell like. Really good and nicely blended. Doesn’t stay long on the skin though, turned into a skin scent after 2-3 hours on me.
