The Mouse Trap
First of all: I find Jo Malone fragrances generally smell pleasant and good. What’s on the label is delivered in good to very good quality, and I actually think the bottles are quite stylish.
Personally, however, I have experienced that you can more or less forget about the beautiful scents, because almost all Jo Malone fragrances have the absolutely worst longevity that money can buy.
I see people getting upset about the longevity of Tom Ford summer fragrances, which (admittedly for ridiculous prices) last only a few hours.
Jo Malone and this fragrance take it to a new level. The longevity is (at least for me) no joke, barely an hour. I have a perfume that costs over 100 euros and lasts not even an hour. Well, Hallelujah.
Does Wood Sage & Sea Salt smell good? Absolutely. It is one of the best summer scents I know. Unfortunately, no one seems to really notice that except for me, because it (I must repeat myself) DISAPPEARS AFTER NOT EVEN AN HOUR.
Like a mouse trap, the fragrance is set up in Douglas stores.
Uninformed customers read the name and are intrigued. WOW, a dreamy, soft, and unique aquatic. You can’t go wrong with that!
The bait snaps shut.
The longevity barely lasted long enough to reach the checkout. Once home, you gradually realize why none of my friends have bought this fragrance.
Well, would you look at that, I can’t smell anything anymore. Maybe my nose is blocked. Maybe I just need to spray more. Maybe it’s just me who can’t perceive it anymore. Maybe I need to try it in warm weather.
Maybe Douglas could have included a consumer warning. Maybe I should have informed myself online. Maybe I’m just being too harsh. Maybe I’m just mourning my 140 euros. Maybe many people don’t care and buy it anyway. Who knows.
In short: Great scent, but such a POOR performance I personally cannot justify beyond 100 euros.

Generally, scents last well on my skin, and I can still smell the Jo Malone even after 8-10 hours in the evening.
