I have the "Lime Basil and Mandarin" cologne which lasts all day, but is a pretty heavy scent. I am going to buy the "Red Roses" to tone it down a bit. I also have "Nutmeg and Ginger" which lasts about 4 hours on me. I read that she sold the company a few years back and has a new line called "Jo Loves", but it isn't available in the US. You can order from her website, but shipping is about $25.

I was just sampling her scents the other day as I bought two of her candles. I know some people have said they love the Red Roses but it seems to have a similar scent as the Lime Basil & Mandarin. It shows up after the scent has settled down a little, maybe after a half hour or so to my nose. The SA said the Lime Basil & Mandarin has pepper in it so I don't know if Red Roses has it too but there was something similar in both of those and in Pomegranate Noir that I just didn't care for. Sample it and wear it for a little while or if you are in a Nordies. ask them to make you a sample vial.

I have two that I really like - Amber Lavender and English Pear and Freesia.

I was just wondering about the staying power.

I really liked the English Pear & Freesia Too. Plan to buy it in the small size travel candle for my bathroom. I also love the French Lime Blossom. Bought the larger size candle for my bedroom. I don't own any of her colognes but I'd love to get those two since I do love the scent in the candles.

I LOVE Vanilla and Anise. Its very soft but not too sweet. I heard it layers well with Grapefruit so I just ordered a bottle of that as well. But the Vanilla and Anise is wonderful.

The Vanilla and Anise did smell wonderful when I sniffed it Monday. Contemplating buying the candle as well as I can envision it in my kitchen or living room.

Just got the Grapefruit I ordered. It's definitely stronger than the Vanilla Anise. But, I don't like it. To my nose, it's not really citrusy at all. It actually smells pretty masculine and cologne-like. I layered it with the Vanilla Anise and all I smell is the Grapefruit.

I'd love to try Blackberry and Bay (smelled a magazine sample-heaven) but am afraid for the $$ it won't last. Chanel lasts forever on me.
