These Jo Malone Scents Will Make You Smell ~Luxe~

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The first time I was intro'd to the luxe world of Jo Malone scents, I was instantly hooked. Picture this: Model (and my queen) Paloma Elsesser shared in a video that her beauty essentials included her "favorite perfume of all time," and low and behold, that perfume was a scent from the classic British fragrance brand Jo Malone London. From there—and after taking inspo from Elsesser—I was gifted my first bottle (more on that below) and have since established quite the collection. That's why I am here today to bring to you nine of the best Jo Malone fragrances of all time, according to, well, me, a self-proclaimed expert.

The best part about Jo Malone fragrances is that they're timeless yet unique scents made for everybody and are designed to be worn alone or layered for a personalized scent pairing profile. And even though the scents are pricey (we're talkin' $155 for 100 ml), you get a great amount of quality product that will last all day long—which totally justifies it, amiright? So after personally testing and wearing most of their top sellers (and a few under-the-radar ones), I have compiled a list of my all-time favorite Jo Malone London scents that are Cosmo-editor-approved:

Now after that sneak peek, keep scrolling for the full list of my favorite Jo Malone scents—that include fresh, floral, citrus, and woody profiles—so you can find the right fragrance for you below.

Red Roses Cologne

Say hello to the favorite perfume of Paloma Elsesser, and ahem, yours truly. Hear me out: This is the perfect rose perfume that smells nothing "like your grandma" (those comments can leave) or artificial headaches, and instead, like you just pulled up to a rose garden in the south of France. Authentic rose? It's this scent right here, ppl.

• Top note: Lemon

• Heart note: Red Roses Accord

• Base note: Honeycomb

THE REVIEW: "Finally I found a perfume that actually smells like authentic roses, and not like a powdery blend of synthetic flowers!" one tester writes. "The smell is genuine, organic, feminine, and delicate with a subtle fruity punch."

English Pear & Freesia Cologne

Think about those fruity scents you wore in your youth: Sweet, citrusy, and, erm, headache-inducing? Yeah, this fruity Jo Malone scent is anything but. Once you spritz this on, you'll be immediately hit with the smell of fresh pears, wrapped in a floral blanket, and mellowed out with a hint of patchouli. It's basically the most elegant scent profile ever.

• Top note: William Pear

• Heart note: Freesia

• Base note: Patchouli

THE REVIEW: "The combination of English pear and freesia is something out of a magical world of novels, such is its beauty," one reviewer writes. "There is a tone of patchouli which takes me back to my teenage years, but bursting with the freshness of spring."

Orange Blossom Cologne

News flash: Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom was the signature scent of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding, so if that's not enticing enough to make you wanna try it, maybe its gorge notes are: Clementine flower, white lilac, and vetiver come together to create the freshest and floral perfume that’s truly unique—and, ahem, fit for royalty.

• Top note: Clementine Flower

• Heart note: White Lilac

• Base note: Orriswood

THE REVIEW: "As well as the sweet, green, citrus scent, I can also smell floral notes," notes one tester. "I end up smelling myself all day long. This scent has turned out to be an unexpected treasure that I quite enjoy."

Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

This Jo Malone perfume has a cult-like following due to its unique profile that creates the most perfect, unique scent literally anyone can pull off. It basically smells like your first breath of the fresh seashore and the earthy scent of nature, combo'd in one.

• Top note: Ambrette Seeds

• Heart note: Sea Salt

• Base note: Sage

THE REVIEW: "Most sea fragrances are the same; strong and salty, but this is a different retelling," one tester writes. "There is a softer ocean scent, grounded by distant driftwood. The sage is not recognizable to me as sage but instead has turned to a woody base. The scent is light and not overpowering."

Basil & Neroli Cologne

Think of this scent as your go-to fresh and fun choice when you want to smell like the epitome of happiness in the most grown-up way.

• Top note: Basil

• Heart note: Neroli

• Base note: White Musk

THE REVIEW: "This cologne manages to be simultaneously cold and warm, exciting and calming, playful and grown-up," one reviewer writes.

Peony & Blush Suede Cologne

Say hello to Jo Malone's flirtiest scent of the bunch: Peony and Blush Suede. This scent is not just exclusive to spring, either. In fact, it's light and fresh enough to be worn all year round. It's elegant, classy, and so damn romantic.

• Top note: Red Apple

• Heart note: Peony

• Base note: Suede

THE REVIEW: "This is the first floral perfume I have ever smelt and fell in love with," one tester's review reads. "I'm not usually a fan of these types of smells, but this one is so light, airy, and fresh that I couldn't say no to keeping it. It isn't too overpowering and leaves a gentle fragrance on your skin."

Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne

This bb is the warmest citrus fragrance that just gets it right. I couldn't describe it more perfectly than the words of Jo Malone, themselves: "Peppery basil and aromatic white thyme bring an unexpected twist to the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze."

• Top note: Mandarin

• Heart note: Basil

• Base note: Amberwood

THE REVIEW: "I love all Jo Malone perfumes, but Lime Basil and Mandarin is my favorite," one tester notes. "It is fresh and gives me a great 'feel good' feeling."

Wild Bluebell Cologne

This soft and light fragrance smells just like you walked into a field of blooming flowers, except instead of it being overly floral, it evokes a scent of freshness.

• Top note: Bluebell

• Heart note: Persimmon

• Base note: White Musk

THE REVIEW: "The Wild Bluebell is my go-to scent," one tester writes. "It's the most uplifting, mood-raising, happy perfume that I have ever smelled!"

Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne

This playful scent is an elegant upgrade from those super sweet, gourmand body sprays of your youth. The best way to sum up the vibe? You just bit into the ripest peach, and your taste buds are hit with the freshest and most natural sweetness.

• Top note: Cassis

• Heart note: Acacia Honey

• Base note: Peach

THE REVIEW: "It is sweet but not too sweet, refreshing and uplifting and grounded at the same time," one tester's review reads. "It puts me in a good mood and I always get compliments on it."
