Since Jo Malone sold the brand to Lauder a few years ago, everyone’s been waiting to see if she took the money and ran, or whether she’d make a return. I know that company sales are complicated things and the fact she’s waited five years to resurface is possibly due to clauses in the sale, however, whatever the reason, a chance meeting with someone who works closely with Jo a couple of weeks ago meant I got to smell one of her newly hatched fragrances. And, it was completely recognisable as a ‘Jo Malone’ scent. My first words were, ‘She’s back!’ It’s the first time I’ve ever smelled a fragrance and instantly recognised the creator. It was floral, light and familiar – in a good way. Obviously, the newer scents coming out of the existing Jo Malone range aren’t created by Jo who now has no input into the on-going Jo Malone brand.
Jo Loves apparantly won’t focus entirely on scent though, even though there will also be a candle range; it seems as though the venture is has a lifestyle slant with over 40 products rolling out by Christmas.

You can’t keep a good creative brain down, I am delighted, I loved all her skincare and whilst I found the fragrances a bit heady especially in more recent years, I admired the skill in blending. Jan x
I am pleased to hear this but hope he products don’t cost the earth. I have liked some of the more recent Jo Malone relases but since she left the company has lost its way.
