This earthy fragrance from the brand combines basil with neroli, white musk, and orange flower for a fresh scent that also feels warm and elegant.

Customer review:

"I love most Jo Malone fragrances but this is hands down my fave. I wear it mainly spring/summer time as it is more of an almost beach-y scent. Two sprays and it lasts most the day on me." —Goldie33285968

Wood Sage and Sea Salt is ideal for the person who loves smelling as clean as possible, and even features notes of sea salt for that coveted, fresh air smell.

Customer review:

"This [perfume] smells like heaven on earth. If you love woody, earthy but still subtle scents, this is for you. I absolutely love it and have gotten so many complements on the perfume in the past few days at work and with friends. 100 percent recommend." —farihabeaute

If you're looking for a fruit-forward scent that's perfect all year round, consider Jo Malone's English Pear and Freesia Cologne. The top-rated fragrance contains a hint of woody notes that helps it stand out from a pack of traditionally fruity scents.

Customer review:

"Much has been said about the effect of fragrances; Jo Malone's cologne of English pear & Freesia transports me from the ritual of everyday to a peaceful place of gentle joys, a deep feeling of well-being and light. It lingers on the entire day - not obtrusively - but sends little reminders of beauty in simplicity." —Barbara68

Inspired by nature and particularly wildflowers dressed in morning dew, this beloved fragrance smells like a fresh-picked bouquet housed in a 3.4-ounce perfume bottle.

Customer review:

"This was a beautiful, delicately floral, slightly sweet, light and airy, everyday wearable fragrance. It smells like all of my cottagecore dreams—basking in the sun in a white dress in an open field of wild flowers. This is one of my new favorite scents." —Nicknamelol

Jo Malone's Peony and Blush Suede fragrance is a hit among beauty lovers who gravitate toward floral fragrances, since it plays well with other scents and isn't overly sweet.

Customer review:

"This is the first floral perfume I have ever smelt and fell in love with. 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 to your skin." —Emma181299

Featuring notes of acacia honey, cassis, and peach, you'll only need a few sprays of this best-selling fruity and floral cologne to make a fragrance impact.

Customer review:

"This is hands down my favorite Jo Malone cologne, and possibly my favorite perfume, period. Definitely in the top three. It's fresh and fruity but not overpowering, and smells like peaches (not the fake kind) with just the right floral mix.

It's the perfect daytime scent and I actually find if I have a bit of a headache or am just really tired and I put this on, it gives me the boost I need. I find that with two spritzes on my collarbone area, it lasts for most of the day, and I can still pick it up a bit in the evening. I wouldn't change a thing about this and while it's expensive, it's worth it!" —RennieLynn

Those looking for a scent that caps off their beauty look without making it obvious you're wearing perfume, look no further. Jo Malone's Fig and Lotus Flower Cologne has a light floral scent that is almost sheer, and is inspired by the greenery found in the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Customer review:

"This JM scent is unique and surprising in all the right ways. Crisp, distinct, and ultra feminine. It truly does make me think of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Beautiful signature scent." —Horton2016

Speaking of fruit-forward scents, this zesty, orange-noted version one from the brand is limited-edition, and inspired by a famous cocktail.

Customer review:

"I have never been disappointed in a Jo Malone scent. This one has more staying power than some and is very pleasant." —Eloise29

Lime isn't just great for cocktails: This earthy cologne is a perfect fit for the person who prefers wearing non-traditional scents, and has a peppery vibrancy citrus lovers will enjoy.

Customer review:

"By far the freshest scent ever, an instant mood lifter! My go-to summer scent, or whenever I need a lift! Always receive compliments when worn. Always have to have a bottle on my dressing table." —Nicj
