Pomelo

Testing Pomelo from a 2 ml Jo Loves official sample. This juice is absolutely lovely, let me tell you that! Obviously, it’s a pomelo dominant scent as expected from the name, but it’s paired beautifully with cloves, rose and a clean patchouli note. So there’s more substance to it as I was anticipating by the title, which is a wonderful surprise for me. To summarise its essence, Pomelo is a wonderful warm, soft spicy, rosy, pomelo focused scent with a photorealistic smell in the opening. To those familiar with this delicious, juicy fruit, this scent will bring you so much joy every time you smell it. It’s bright and fresh, juicy, sweet and energising. A perfect scent to start your morning with or for relaxing weekend days... Not the longest lasting though, it’s a citrus scent, but fairly versatile as far as seasons go, thanks to the supporting notes of rose, cloves, vetiver and patchouli. I really love this scent and if I were to own a small bottle, which I see happening in the future, I would use Pomelo for most seasons, except winter. It would be brilliant in all types of weather, because it’s not just freshly squeezed pomelo juice, as I anticipated. And it’s one of those Jo Loves perfumes that falls under the radar, I haven’t really heard anything about it on socials, and it’s an old release at this point. What is for sure, it’s that it’s nicer than it sounds! Very impressed with it, goes to my to buy list immediately. If I can find a travel size of this, I am definitely buying one it, whit spring around the corner.

I have a thing for morning fragrances. It’s such a wonderfully luxurious experience to awaken to a beautiful fragrance, so I keep a special selection by my bedside table which I use immediately upon rising. Jo Loves Pomelo is one of my favourite choices; after all, what better scent can brush away the cobwebs of slumber than grapefruit? It sharpens the senses, enlivening my torpid mind as it refreshes the surrounding air. Full disclosure - I am so absolutely not a morning person, I struggle to feel fully awake, which takes far too long. I need all the help I can get to pull me out of that zombie-like state. Jo Loves Pomelo is a highly effective pick me up, it’s the fragrance equivalent of a double espresso! For a citrus fragrance, it has surprising lasting power, those sharp and invigorating top notes hang around absolutely intact for well over an hour on my skin, before they begin to nestle (without ever disappearing) into the softer base notes of patchouli and vetiver. All my morning fragrances feature citrus top notes, but Jo Loves Pomelo outlasts them all. Highly recommended to fellow sleepyheads!

This fragrance is great if you like citrus forward scents. Bright sweet citrus opening, then it’s peppery, woody and spicy, but it actually does maintain some of that citrus throughout its wear. The notes and scent evolution were a bit unexpected to me, but I think they work well together and it smells fantastic. Because of the spicy citrus, I think it’s also appropriate year round. Citrus will always have a “summer” energy, but add in some clove, woods, spices — it’s fall/wintery too. ▪️SAFE BLIND BUY: nope. ▪️PROJECTION: people around you will smell it...not a “skin” scent ▪️LONGEVITY: moderate. The citrus note here survives longer on clothes than skin. ▪️GENDER: definitely unisex, leans masc to me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still wear it cause it just smells great and I love citrus. There’s just enough sweetness in the citrus for it to feel feminine on women too. ▪️AGE GROUP: gives me 30s+ vibes. I can’t see young folks going for it.

I got a sample of this and its a great juice. The opening is like you were peeling a pomelo. Burst of citrus in your face but not harsh, its very clean and fruity. Jo Loves pomelo is a nice citrus scent, a bit earthy maybe because of the vetiver and there’s a mysterious side to it. When i tried this fragrance its like I was wrap with a fresh and thick citrus scent. The projection is good. It scent leaves a good tail of scent. Good longevity. I can see this as an everyday scent that i could wear.

this is like peeling and snacking on a big green pomelo with fluffy skin. the freshness, tiny spray of pomelo oil when i peel off the skin... this pomelo is the sweet bitter type, my favorite. there's a hint of leather-animalic-earthy as the base, really, just like after eating a pomelo. after leisurely sitting & discovering the brand's vials, Pomelo has entered my full bottle wishlist! the perfect for mornings pick me up or energizing hot afternoon fragrance.
