Mallow on the Moor

On initial spray this is a slightly green Insolence. After about an hour, with Insolence on one wrist and Mallow on the other, they smell identical. My bottle of Insolence is the bee bottle and it's the edp, and it's ever so slightly dusty compared to Mallow. Because on the dry down they are basically the same, I don't think you need both. I only bought Mallow because I tried it in store and made the mistake of purchasing without wearing it for a few hours and seeing what the dry down would be like. It's not bad. I quite like it. It's just not necessary if you already have Insolence.

This is a feminine perfume and I'm a man but damnit, this smells so good. It smells like the best bubble bath you can imagine. So relaxing and has pretty good longevity. I'm not sure what is giving me this bubble bath soapy vibe, but if you're looking for something in this genre, I highly recommend you look at this instead of Maison Martin Margiela Bubble bath.

Opened with a beautiful violet leaves scent then a sweetish dessert-like scent followed. Heliotrope came in for the finale. This was the first of the collection I tried and immediately fell in love with. It lasted about six hours on skin and well over five days on clothing. A very fascinating record for JML fragrance isn’t it? This certainly reminds me of Joop! Homme.

Gorgeous powdery feminine scent in a just as pretty hand-painted bottle. I wish this wasn’t limited edition, but thankfully the gray market has a lot of this collection available. I like to layer this with other Jo Malone scents to add more orris and violet. Not mature, just like a comfortable baby powder mixed with fresh air out in a field in Scotland.

To me, this is a musky, powdery, marshmallow-y mix that smells like a warm, comforting hug on a cold sweater-weather day. Sits a bit close to the skin but lasts for hours! Out of all the Jo Malone bottles that I have, this one lasts on me the longest.
