Jo Malone London is known for its elegant fragrances, but full-sized bottles don’t come cheap. For those wanting to try without committing to £100-plus prices, a travel set on LookFantastic has caught the attention of fans of the brand.
The Tantalising and Seductive travel cologne duo costs £36 and includes two of Jo Malone’s most recognisable scents: Lime, Basil and Mandarin, and Pomegranate Noir. At 9ml each, the bottles are small enough for handbags and hand luggage, making them popular as gifts, for holidays, or everyday carry-arounds.
Lime, Basil and Mandarin has long been one of the brand’s signature fragrances, often described as fresh and uplifting. Customers mention the citrus opening and subtle herbal notes that make it wearable all year round. Pomegranate Noir is much richer, with fruity top notes and a spicier base that feels suited to evenings or the colder months. Some say it’s too bold for everyday wear, while others like layering it with lighter perfumes.
On LookFantastic, the duo holds an average rating of 4.8 stars out of five, with many buyers calling it a good introduction to the brand. One shopper said: “Never tried Jo Malone before really because it’s so expensive, so bought these two little bottles. I’m not disappointed and already had so many compliments.”
Another described them as a great present: “Really lovely duo to mix and match. Bought as a present for my mum and then was tempted to steal it back!”
Not every review is positive, with some customers finding Pomegranate Noir a little overpowering. One admitted: “First ever Jo Malone purchase and I wasn’t massively impressed. I agree with other reviewers that the Pomegranate scent would be better suited in a candle.”
Jo Malone isn’t the only brand offering smaller sizes. Penhaligon’s has its Bestseller Scent Library gift set, which features 10 lots of 2ml testers for £35.00 at Harrods. And ASOS currently has a Moschino Miniature Collection for £24, reduced from £30. What’s really great about this set are the minature bottles, which includes the iconic Fresh Couture that looks like a tiny anti-bac spray.
For anyone curious about Jo Malone or in search of a travel-friendly option, there is also another set that brings together two of its best-known fragrances in a compact size from LookFantastic, the Jo Malone London Cool and Fresh travel cologne duo, also £36.
