JI Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I was at Nordstrom's the other day and stumbled across a high end perfume and candle manufacturer. She is Jo Malone out of the UK. Naturally her candles and perfumes sell for a kings ransom. But the fragrance blends were unique...Pear and freesiaJasmine and mintJust to name a couple. Her website is www.jomalone.com. I didnt look into pricing. But her small perfumes alone are $100. Apparently Kate Middleton used JM as her wedding fragrance. At least that's what the rep said.

JI Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Omg her 200g small candles (about 9 oz) retail for $65. Burn time is about 45 hrs. She had large 4 lb multiwicked candles going for $400 plus. They are advertised as soy but they look like a blend. All natural, white/cream undyed with cotton wick.

Beth Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 She's a started-out-in-her-kitchen bajillionaire.... I've only smelled a few of her perfumes. Vintage Gardenia and Vanilla Anise I liked. Lime, Basil & Mandarin- ick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I love Jo Malone candles, wish I could afford them, there is no way her candles are all soy, tops are way to smooth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulberrysoap Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have quite a few jo mo products, their bath oil is lovely but for me the star/hero product are the candles. The scents are light,airy and different to the norm. They are one of the best beauty/bath/body companies UK had to offer, they are now owned by Estée Lauder. Jo had cancer so had to recover, she now has a company called JO LOVES.Now having said all of that I think the USA produces some of the best scents and products in the world. Some of the wax tarts, soaps B&B products I have are excellent "amish bread, pink sugar, blue sugar anyone???"are from home crafters or businesses in the USA IMO.
