Wild Strawberry & Parsley

This is one of the prettiest “fruity florals” I’ve had the pleasure of smelling. There are now probably thousands out there and I’ve smelled a couple hundred or so... Bright Crystal, Gucci Bamboo, the list goes on and on. But this one is somehow unique from the rest, and impeccably well done, as only Jo Malone could do. The strawberry note is naturally juicy, there’s no artificial sweeteners or syrups in here. There’s a greenness, I’d dare say it’s actually the tomato leaf I smell more than parsley. The sillage and longevity are the only fault I have with this fragrance, and why I don’t have it marked as a love. It is pretty light, and not worth the asking price of some ebay sellers. But this fragrance continues to put a smile on my face every single time I smell it, and for that I’d say it’s worth it for me to keep reapplying. If you ever get a chance to sample it, or find a good deal on a partial, this one’s worth the effort! And I can’t stop smiling!

I am gutted that it is limited edition as (and I echo previous reviewer) this is the first green scent ever that is working on me! I get very strong tomato leaf note with blackcurrant, parsley and basil in the background. Just delicious. But it get no strawberry whatsoever. I usually go for florals (and mainly white floral) and from this limited edition it wasn't surprising that I first bought Nasturtium and Clover which is much sweeter but I now prefer Wild Strawberry and Parsley. In fact, love it so much that I sometimes go to bed wearing it... Weird, I know:))

This is one of the only perfumes I've ever found that doesn't go sour or bitter on my skin. The initial spray is a little tangy and spicy, and then it dries down to an incredibly soft, almost musky and powdery scent that is the perfect balance of clean and green. Not too sweet or heavy. Lasts for HOURS!!!! I have no idea what the other person said about longevity. I sprayed this on me in the morning for work and it's still lingering, 11 hours later. I absolutely love it.

After sampling all the scents in the Herb Collection, this was the only one that made me buy the bottle. And, while sometimes I'll buy a scent and later wonder what I was smelling that made me like it in the first place, this one got better with each wear. For me, it lasts much longer than other Jo Malone scents. Consistently complimented.

Another my fave, its herby and green at the first spritz, then it turned into sweetly strawberry yet bitter coriander. Especially after shower, it smells super great! Feels like walking in the morning at garden full of morning grass and eating bread with strawberry jam.. Sadly only one small size and limited edt .. 😐
