Jo Malone - Wild Bluebell - Initial Thoguhts
This one is another leap for me as someone who is more accustomed to male blue frags growing up, definitely on the floral side of unisex, but that is not to down this fragrance. I am already liking it a lot. There are some disappointments in the fragrance, but the roundness of the scent is good.
"Creator of the perfume is Christine Nagel who presented a new version of bluebell, composed of various notes, including green fresh notes, flowers (lily of the valley, rose hip) and spicy chord of cloves. Bluebell is a wild forest flower and its scent provides a moist echo of summer forest."
The initial bluebell and green notes shine through in the beginning, but only lasted a short 15-20 minutes. While that might be expected in top notes, I wish that it lasted a bit longer. However, as it led into the middle notes, the 'freshness' and smells of a garden in the perfume became greater, perhaps persimmon? Middles notes are now focused and I can get lily of the valley, but jasmine is one of the strongest scents that comes through for me. The middle notes don't feel as 'garden-ey', but more of a fresh linens smell when combined. I quite like it actually. It's cool to get two different feels out of a fragrance so quickly after application. The musk is really clean and definitely white. More plant like, but not as strong as some other white musk fragrances I have tried, it's more powdery.
I think the biggest disappointments in the fragrance is the fact that it isn't getting as good of projection/longevity as I would like out of a one like this. I feel like Jo Malone fragrances are know for being short and sweet (I could be wrong), but I think I get about ~4 hours out of this one, compared to 12+ out of a Tom Ford or others? I just wish there was a little more longevity to it.
Overall I rate this fragrance a 7.4/10.
