How to combine Jo Malone fragrances

2025-05-19

In the world of perfumery, combining fragrances directly on your skin is a technique that allows you to create a unique, personal scent adaptable to every moment. Instead of mixing liquids in a bottle, applying two or more Jo Malone fragrances to different points on your body gives you greater control over the intensity and evolution of your perfume. With the products available at Emiba, discover how to play with your favorite Jo Malone scents and design your perfect olfactory signature.

1. Why "Layering" on the Skin and Not in the Bottle?

Preserving the integrity of each scent: Applying each fragrance to a different pulse point allows them to unfold their notes naturally, without chemical alterations.
Intensity control: You can adjust the number of sprays for each scent, instantly fine-tuning the perfume’s strength.
Evolving olfactory experience: The top, heart, and base notes develop more organically on the skin, creating a unique aromatic narrative.

2. Choose Your Favorite Jo Malone Fragrances

At Emiba, you’ll find Jo Malone’s iconic colognes, perfect for on-the-go layering:

English Pear & Freesia: Sweet and juicy, ideal as a base fragrance.
Lime Basil & Mandarin: Vibrant and fresh, adding a citrusy spark.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt: Open-air and marine notes for a relaxed touch.
Myrrh & Tonka: Intense and mysterious, perfect for finishing a combination.
Peony & Blush Suede: Soft floral with a seductive suede undertone.

3. Step by Step: How to Apply for Your Unique Scent

1. Prepare your skin

Moisturize with a neutral or lightweight cream. Well-hydrated skin holds fragrance better.
Avoid scented lotions that may interfere with your chosen scents.

2. Select a base and a contrasting note

Choose a soft character fragrance (e.g., English Pear & Freesia) as your base.
Pair it with a more vibrant or deep contrasting note, like Lime Basil & Mandarin or Pomegranate Noir.

3. Apply to different pulse points

Base fragrance: Wrists and inner elbows.
Contrasting fragrance: Neck, behind the ears, or along the hairline.

4. Mind the distance and spraying technique

Hold the bottle 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) from your skin for a fine, even layer.
Spray 1–2 times per fragrance; adjust for more or less intensity.

5. Do not rub

Avoid rubbing the fragrance after application, as this can break down molecules and alter the notes.

6. Test and adjust

Walk around for a few minutes to activate the notes.
If you want more presence from a particular scent, add an extra spray.

4. Irresistible Scent Combination Ideas

Sweet & Fresh: English Pear & Freesia + Lime Basil & Mandarin.
Sea & Earth: Wood Sage & Sea Salt + English Pear & Freesia.

Jot down your proportions in a notebook to recreate your signature scent anytime.

5. Additional Tips for a Perfect Result

Less is more: Start with a few sprays and build up as needed.
Avoid rough fabrics: Synthetic fibers can trap alcohol particles and distort the fragrance.
Storage: Keep your colognes in a cool, dark place to preserve their original notes.
Experiment seasonally: Your ideal blend may change in summer and winter.
