Yep. It's official. Jo Malone and I are divorcing. I put her on lovingly, but she refuses to last. Half an hour later, I don't even know she exists.
So, I'm in the process of seeking a new perfume. Do you have any recommendations?

Hi Magic. I really don't have a signature scent, but I've been wearing Flowerbomb a great deal lately. I love that scent. The one I just purchased from Sephora over the weekend was Tom Ford Black Orchid. My sister in New Orleans wears it, and I loved it on her. I hope I like it as much, LOL.

I am currently using Prada Iris. Get a lot of compliments on it and it lasts all day. I love Tova Signature, but the scent doesn't last very long....at least not on me.

Hi win! I am curious about Tom Ford Black Orchid. I hope it works for you and that it has lasting power. Come back and do a review, please. Meanwhile I will look it up to get a description. Thanks!

Oh dear, magic!
I love/own/wear many Jo Malone scents. I'd have to say my signature scent is JM's Orange Blossom. I reach for it more than any other. I don't have any problem with the scent fading, though I wear the cologne on its own.
Have you tried layering JM? First the body cream, then the cologne?
I have heard that many women actually use JM's bath oil as their "perfume" because it is longer lasting.
Here are a couple of others I like that are not Jo Malone:
Houbigant - Quelque Fleurs
Annick Goutal - Petite Cherie
If you like gardenias, I'd recommend Fracas.
Good luck in your search and let us know what you sample!

Hi maddie!
Orange Blossom is my favorite, too. Although I love many others, Nectarine Blossom and Honey, Lime Basil and Mandarin, White Jasmine and Mint, just to name a few.
Maybe I need to take a break. Then, hopefully, when I revisit some of my favorite scents, they will be more lasting? I know, wishful thinking!
Thank you for the recommendations. I am going to read up on them.

I'll give you my review ! So far it appears to have really good staying power. I could smell it on my jacket the next day and I only put one spritz on!!! So far…so good.
