Jo Malone White Lilac & Rhubarb Cologne and Other New Fragrances

Jo Malone the London Blooms Collection is now available in stores (Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue, select Neiman Marcus locations). The collection includes three fragrances: Iris and Lady Moore, Peony and Moss, and White Lilac and Rhubarb. The perfumes were created by Christine Nagel and are inspired by the English gardens. 

Peony and Moss: "Contrasting the dainty and the dirty. The gossamer lightness of delicate peonies grounded in earthy green." It contains notes of green sap, blackcurrant, jasmine, peony, rose, ivy, moss.

White Lilac and Rhubarb: "A daring juxtaposition. Tart-vibrant rhubarb cuts through the soft lilac, rose and sun-loving heliotrope. " It is comprised of violet leaves, rhubarb, white lilac, rose, amber, musk, heliotrope.  

Iris and Lady Moore: "A mingling between spicy-fresh, common-or-garden geranium and noble iris, powdery and poised. Brought together on dry-grass base of vetiver." It includes notes of tangerine, geranium, marigold, iris, orange blossom, sandalwood and vetiver. 

100ml/$110.

I have a sample of Peony and Moss via The Perfumed Court that I really must try soon. I'll bet it's light enough to float away (i.e., you'd have to spray eight times to be able to smell it), but I'm looking at the notes and thinking, Hmm, could be nice.

I only tried White Lilac and Rhubarb so far, and it's light and airy. Pretty. I need to smell it on skin though.

Curious about others!

While I'm certain the new scent is delightful--the scents are fleeting. If I do invest I'll be spraying pillowcases. Too $$$ just for fun.

I'm intrigued by the White Lilac and Rhubarb. When I was a child in northern Illinois, our backyard had several large lilac bushes, and we grew rhubarb, so this may be a nostalgic journey for me. I've enjoyed some, though not all, Jo Malone scents and do want to give these a try.

Agree, it isn't a line known for its longlasting perfumes. :) But some are very nice.

Same here! We had several big lilac bushes around our house, and the perfume when they bloomed spread into the house, stuck to our skin, became a part of our spring memories. We grew rhubarb too, but it never turned out acidic enough!

Hi, Victoria. I'm curious about your favorite Jo Malone scents, if any. My stepmother and one of my sisters will ONLY wear Jo Malone, (French Lime Blossom) which is frustrating b/c that's all they ever want in the way of presents - the candles, the soap, the lotions in the same exact scent, year after year after year...

I really loved the White Lilac and Rhubarb when I tried it, but sadly - as w/ most Jo Malone's on me, I wish It lasted longer on my skin. I may need to buy a decant....

[Victoria]

I like French Lime Blossom & Basil and Orange Blossom Colognes. They convey the comfort and laid back elegance. And they are wonderfully refreshing.
Jo Malone body products are excellent! I especially love their bath oils and soaps.

I like that JM offers small bottles and sets, which make it easier to sample. However, I really loved only two fragrances so far.

[Vanessa]

I have not tried any of these but am a sucker for anything featuring rhubarb, from TDC Bergamote to Anvers 2. Light and airy sounds good to me - I will definitely look out for this trio!

[Victoria]

Me too. The idea sounds very appealing, and rhubarb is such a bright, tart note.

Wow the white Lilac and Rhubarb smells just wonderful!!
I have tro try this one!

By the way I love Rhubarb from Comme the Garcons, have you tried this one?

[Victoria]

I love Rhubarb! Such a tart morsel, but also quite sophisticated.
