London Rain White Jasmine & Mint

The manager of my Jo Malone boutique assured me that this one is EXACTLY the same juice as the original White Jasmine & Mint. I smelled them both anyway to be sure and they are definitely identical. My proper review is on the page for the original bottle. I am a big fan of this scent. Bergamot figures prominently in the opening (check the notes on the original page), making this surprisingly more mojito-like than one would expect. The overall effect of this refreshing summer scent is that of a glass of club soda or yerba mate accented with bright mint sprigs direct from the garden. There is something almost bizarrely luke warm about the green of White Jasmine & Mint. It's like the temperature of warm rain. I strongly prefer it to Guerlain's Herba Fresca which tends to go bitter on me. Very nice amount of gentle sillage follows the wearer around, and longevity is similar to an average eau de cologne (though this is technically an edt).

According to the Jo Malone rep at NM, this is just a repackaging of the original White Jasmine & Mint. Lovely fresh jasmine with a bite of peppermint. Doesn't last very long, but it's very fresh and bracing.

Stale cat piss baked under a hot African sun, with a hint of mint added to pardon the mess. It's not even a case of it 'turning' on my skin. I've tried on clothes, paper and on other people. It's just vile. I love the blood orange as well as the pomegranate version but this one won't be as easy to please the masses -- in my opinion anyhow.

I was expecting a minty/floral fragrance but I'm getting a celery/tomato cocktail instead. It borders on being salty. Worst blind-buy in a long time 😭

i smelled this yesterday but didnt buy as yet. At first sniff it smell a lot like original white Jasmine and Mint so i asked JML staff whether it is just re-packaging. she said No, this new one is more creamy than the original plus a bit of some medicine smelling which i think it is from their base note. after one hour, HEY I LOVE THAT!! i spray new one at left arm and the original at right arm, they are same way but different. Go for orginal if you like green and floral but go for London Rain edition if you like the original in creamy way. This scent goes well in rainy or cold day. i will definitely buy.

I’ve found I really don’t like Jo Malone. They advertise “designed for layering” but that seems a marketing excuse for being one dimensional, and I think their price points are too high for that sort of thing. I blind bought the Jasmine and Mint and was disappointed. It’s a slightly bitter mint and I can barely detect any Jasmine. I tried layering with some fresher sweeter perfumes, but it seemed to drag them down to its own dark minty level. I love green notes, but this does not qualify as a quality green note in my opinion, just a cheap smelling wanna be shelf perfume trying to represent fresh mint.

To me this scent smells very uninspired. Like some comments mentioned like a drink (mojito) in this case. I don't really care about this fragrance. It was the first Jo Malone scent I blind bought online and regretted afterwards. It was a nice sleeping scent though and use it before going to bed to keep the bugs away just to empty the bottle. I'm glad it's gone now. This is not worth the price.

Fresh and lots of mint. Didn't find anything special about it. Very expected and run-of-the-mill for JM. Lovely for layering.
