Red Hibiscus Cologne Intense

This cologne was gifted by jomalonelondon to me as a sample for my honest review. The Jo Malone Hinoki and Cedarwood cologne is a woody scent that is also almost spicy initially, but rounds out to a very clear hinoki aroma. As a Japanese person, this scent is reminiscent of Japanese hot spring onsen. At first I thought this cologne is very distinctly masculine, but as I wore it throughout the day I can see why it’s marketed as a unisex cologne. I enjoy the nostalgia felt with this distinctive and fresh cologne. I would say that it doesn’t project particularly strongly nor does it feel like it lasts long, but it may be because it’s such a good encapsulation of a natural wood scent that the nose becomes accustomed to it.

Nordstrom, I suggest you take the issue of scents not lasting to the company, instead of offering the customers to reach out to a customer service link. Clearly there are more than enough reviews claiming that the scent does not last. This needs to be addressed with Jo Malone. I’ve been a huge fan of Jo Malone for years, and have quite the collection that was purchased years ago. I recently purchased a new fragrance, and experienced it to be short lasting as well. I came on today, to make a purchase from Jo Malone, but decided against it, because of all the reviews claiming the scent doesn’t last. Please take this up with the company! Maybe something will change. I’m moving along now to shop for Tom Ford scents instead.
