If you wore it and liked it, and received compliments, who cares if it's unisex?

@hondagirl, a lot of Jo Malone fragrances are promoted as unisex. I have Lime,Basil & Mandarin and really like it but usually mix it with Orange Blossom or Grapefruit to lighten it up and give it a more feminine note. Smiley Happy

@hondagirl,  That's the fragrance I started off with and now graduated to Pomegranate Noir and Blackberry & Bay.  Lovely scents and at Nordstrom you can get samples of the scents you want.  Cat Very Happy

I am happy for those that can wear Jo but I can not. Nothing smells nice on me of hers.

I don't care for her Lime Basil & Mandarine nor the Blackberry & Bay on me, they are too masculine, but I do love her Mimosa & Cardamom and English Pear & Fresia perfiumes & I have the French Lime Blossom & Peony & Blush in candles which I also love.

QVC lost a lot of my posts too!

Not that this has anything to do with whether or not you like the fragrance.  But Jo Malone sold to Estee Lauder.  She is not involved with that company.  I believe she has started up again in London.  Here is an article.

I wrote to Jo Malone 3X to ask if they now tested on animals since Estee (always an animal tester-won't switch to humane process) Lauder now owns them. No reply. That tells me they do. Pity, I like these fragrances. I guess maybe all perfume is tested on animals but it would be a mass undertaking to find out.

Hi Hondagirl 

I love unisex fragrances . To me its an unexpected surprise when people catch a whiff of it . I used to use JoMalone , but no longer since I went cruelty free . My favorite fragrances are florals: Lily of the valley , gardenia and rose but I also like to switch it up with unisex ones . 

have a great weekend

My friend wears Blue Agave and Orange Blossom, both lovely on her.
