Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot

I struggle with sandalwood going “pickley” on me. The sandalwood in this is smooth & creamy, the spices make it very fall/winter weather appropriate. The apricot is faint to my nose but is there - more so in the beginning. I could still smell it on my wrist later in the day at work (~6 hrs) but not certain about the sillage or if others could smell it. Oh and it’s on sale 25% off at Sephora now so I picked up a full bottle.

The apricot in this is the star of the show. It's very well done. I'm not sure why this was a holiday release, I love this in the spring, and is totally wearable in hotter temps (80° and humid today). I'll have to try it in cooler temps, but it's beautiful today in the heat. Soft, refreshing, nice scent bubble. Fairly linear, but you know what you're getting. No surprises, nothing synthetic, or turning cloying, or heavy.

I have not spent any time on Jo Malone fragrances only because I’ve heard they struggle with longevity. Today I was walking through Nordstrom‘s and I paused at the Joe Malone table and sprayed my wrist. I left the store to get my hair done. While I was sitting there getting a blowout, I kept smelling my wrist and it was delicious ! I left and drove straight back to Nordstrom‘s and bought a full bottle😋. It’s a must try!

The creamiest, coziest everyday fall/winter fragrance. Smells like a hot chai, your favorite new sweater, a luxe candle. The apricot adds just enough juicy sweetness but doesn't steal the show; the sandalwood is smooth and not remotely pickley. Sophisticated, comforting, warm––feeling grateful I have the 9ml and foresee a potential full bottle in my future... lasting power impressed me!

Warm and cozy like a cashmere sweater! It’s not too spicy, the cardamom and nutmeg blend seamlessly with the sandalwood! Longevity is not its strong point so I pair with Jo Malone London Myrrh and Tonka or Mimosa and Cardamom. Both have warm undertones and increase the overall longevity of fragrance, plus they smell amazing together! Definitely shared/unisex , Fall/Winter.
