Autumn Fragrance- Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay


I love changing my perfume with the seasons & when the weather starts getting colder I'm always drawn to warmer cosier scents.

This week as it has well & truly felt like Autumn (hello central heating, crisp mornings & snuggly winter scarves) I retired my summer fragrance & brought out the gorgeous Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay I purchased a few weeks ago.

This is Jo Malone's inspiration for the perfume;

"Childhood memories of blackberry picking...
stained lips, sticky palms. a burst of deep,
tart blackberry juice and sparkling grapefruit,
blending with the freshness of just-gathered bay.
Softened with delicate flowers. Resting on 
a brambly base of vetiver and cedarwood.
Vibrant and verdant."

How beautiful does that sound? It smells just as beautiful too, fresh & fruity with a soft depth coming from the vetiver & cedarwood. 

It is perfect for this time of year & instantly reminds me of chilly country walks wrapped up in a big winter coat followed by afternoon tea by the fire. In fact it's so lovely I'm tempted to get the candle from the collection too, & fill my whole house with the delicious scent of blackberry juice & brambly woods!

Prices for Jo Malone Cologne start at £39 for 30ml.


Do you change your fragrance according to the season?

  1. I don't, but I should! I'm a huge Marc Jacobs scent fan but have been thinking of finding something new. Also how great does a blackberry perfume sound, it really appeals to me so I may have to go and have a play with the testers in Liberty!- Charlotte xx

    1. Perfect excuse to go to Liberty ;) It's lovely layered with nectarine blossom & honey too if you like it a bit sweeter! xx
