154 Cologne

Jo Malone colognes are some of my favorites, and the selection and quality have induced me to be more adventurous with fragrance. 154 Cologne was billed to me as a masculine fragrance that could easily be made more feminine by blending with other JM fragrances. I tried 154 alone and was WOWED by how it came across with my body chemistry. It smells wonderful! The sales associate at Nordstrom said 154 on me was much softer than she was used to. It starts off fresh with vetiver and citrus. As it warms, the scent becomes more softly spicy with lavender noticeable. Vanilla probably tames the composition, but it is not an obvious note. Meant for men. Ladies don't be afraid to try it! Just read review by benpitt. Totally agree that 154+Blackberry & Bay is fantastic! Just a bit of fruit tames and updates the vetiver. Been combining these for a while.

My god... still one of my faves despite the poor longevity even for an EDC. But thank god for coincidences... Today my order for a new bottle arrived after its production halted for what? A year or two already? The coincidence is that I chose to wear Prins Strangers Parfumerie Oliver which I love only to realise after diving into the parcel, ripping the packaging apart and then spraying 154 on my hand - an ahhhhhhh like a junkie heading to bliss... then realising that both perfumes are almost literally identical bar performance in silage and longevity (though Oliver is not exactly a stinker). Oliver is tad less sweet and a tad darker. Both amazing!

I first smelled this on a (female) friend very recently and found the slightly masculine sillage very appealing. I tried it on the very next day and found, to my surprise, that the same fragrance immediately became richly sweet and feminine on my own skin. I bought a small decant, which I have worn obsessively, and I continue to enjoy the way this perfume develops. 154 reminds me of evenings when I was very little, when my mother and father would get dressed up for a night out and, before the babysitter arrived, I would bask in the mysterious, grown-up glamour of Chanel No 5 and Eau Sauvage that filled the house.

Beautiful composition of cologne, this is an old cologne from Jo Malone and by many sales associates from the boutiques this maybe will get discontinued and that’s sad to me, because this is a beautiful aromatic, woody/sandalwood, a light citrus fougere. This is more masculine than feminine, is light and airy, cute and stays close to you. The aroma here is creamy, woody, aromatic, fresh some light floral earthy nuances. My favorite from the brand so far, I wish they do an intense version of this fragrance.

I was at Saks Fifth Avenue two weeks ago and sampled the entire line of Jo Malone, narrowing it down to 154 being my favorite. Scored a bottle online and it was delivered yesterday. Promptly used it as my SOTD. This fragrance has an air of sophistication to it and reminds me very much of another favorite of mine, Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper. I believe it skews male. Spicy, woody, and not super citrusy. Longevity and sillage are good. Recommend!
